What do you like most about CIMC?
What I appreciate most about this competition is the motivation it gives students no matter the age. And, of course, the enthusiasm children show to want to practice diligently, refine their technique, and sing beautifully. It inspires me the most. Clear guidelines and beautiful certificates also encourage parents, music teachers, and children to be motivated to participate.
