Our Story
At Music Solutions, we are passionate about enriching lives through music and dance. Since our inception in 1999, we have dedicated ourselves to providing exceptional enrichment programmes tailored to meet the diverse needs of learners in schools, preschools, corporate settings, and communities both locally and internationally. With a steadfast commitment to transforming lives, we have reached over 200,000 students and educators, impacting more than 2,000 children and youths from underprivileged backgrounds, those with special needs, and individuals living with dementia. Music Solutions has attained her Social Enterprise status in June 2023.
Our Mission
We believe that music and the arts are not just enriching but also essential components of life itself. Guided by the principles of Love, Inspire, Fun, and Excellence (L.I.F.E), we strive to instill these values into everything we do. Through our specially crafted and customised programmes, we aim to create meaningful experiences that not only educate but also inspire and uplift.
Expanding Our Reach
In line with our commitment to inclusivity and community impact, Music Solutions has extended its services to encompass the low-income, Special Education Needs (SEN), and elderly/dementia sectors. Recognising the unique challenges faced by individuals in these communities, we have tailored our programmes to cater to their specific needs and provide them with the opportunity to engage with music and dance in a meaningful and enriching way.
Low-Income Communities
We understand the importance of making music and dance accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. Through partnerships with schools, charitable organisations, and community centers, we offer subsidised or free programmes to children and youths from low-income families, providing them with the chance to discover and develop their talents in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Special Education Needs (SEN)
Every individual deserves the chance to express themselves and explore their creativity. Our SEN programs are designed to cater to the unique needs and abilities of students with diverse learning challenges. Through adaptive teaching techniques and personalised support, we strive to empower SEN students to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through music and dance.
Elderly/Dementia Sector
We believe in the therapeutic power of music and its ability to evoke memories, emotions, and connections. In collaboration with care facilities, senior centers, and dementia support groups, we offer specialised music and dance programmes tailored to the needs of elderly individuals, including those living with dementia. These programmes not only provide cognitive stimulation and emotional support but also create opportunities for social interaction, joy, and meaningful engagement for participants and their caregivers alike.
Gifted to Give, Blessed to Be a Blessing
At Music Solutions, we are guided by the belief that we are “Gifted to Give, Blessed to be a Blessing.” With this ethos at the heart of everything we do, we remain committed to making a positive impact in our communities through the transformative power of music and dance. Through collaborative partnerships and a shared vision of inclusivity and empowerment, we strive to enrich lives, inspire creativity, and spread joy to all those we serve.
How we started…
OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Driven with a vision to reach the masses, Music Solutions began her pioneering years providing underprivileged children with opportunities to learn music. Her maiden programme Music Maxima! Camp, which gained popularity and was later endorsed by the National Arts Council (NAC) as a quality public Arts Experience Programme made her way into the local mainstream schools. Over the years, Music Solutions has proven her excellence and leadership in the local arts scene shown from the continuous support and recognition from NAC and her growing numbers of approved Arts Experience and Arts Exposure programmes.
REACHING THE YOUNG, THE OLD AND THE MARGINALISED
REACHING THE YOUNG, THE OLD AND THE MARGINALISED
The desire to reach the preschoolers, the elderly and even the marginalised continued to propel us to innovate and create age-appropriate and customised programmes for our clients. KinderKids Solutions, a preschool division of Music Solutions, was established as a hallmark in our pursuit to offer specialised preschool programmes.
As a Social Enterprise, we provide business solutions to address unmet and emerging social needs and gaps. We aspire to make a difference, create value and solve social challenges sustainably through the arts. We hope to fulfil the aspirations of a new generation of Singaporeans who are passionate about doing good through means other than charities and as a part of their daily lives.
GOING BEYOND EDUCATION
GOING BEYOND EDUCATION
We believe music and the arts play an important part in our mental, social and emotional well-being.
