AMPAC: Intensive Violin Group Class

Intensive Violin Group Class (IVG) is for anyone above the age of 7 who wants to learn to play the violin with a group of friends.

Level one of IVG will focus on posture, bowing, basic music theory, music reading, rhythm and tone quality. Students will learn to play several simple melodies during level one.
Level two of IVG will focus on music scales, technique, bow stroke and musicianship.

There will be a performance evaluation at the end of each level. After whole programme of IVG, the students  able to achieve or equivalence Grade 1 or Grade 2 standard in Trinity Guildhall.

Midbrain Training Programme in AMPAC

Midbrain Training Programme – Your Child’s Pathway to Genius
AMPAC in collaboration with Creative Leadership Resources (CLR) will provide a children's education programme with the aim to promote and create more young talents as part of our mission and ultimate goal. We specialise in midbrain training program and help children age 5 to 12 years old to activate their midbrain in two days training.

Date :  27&28 April 2013 (Saturday & Sunday)
Time : 9.00am to 4.30pm
Venue : AMPAC Recital Hall
Register: Call AMPAC or 016-9150218 to register
(include meals and tea times) 

What is Midbrain Training Programme?
Midbrain Activation Training Programme is an astonishing brain training for children which will become a new way of living for the humankind in the 21st century. After being activated through a scientific way, the midbrain will be able to emit brainwaves using the power of concentration. While blindfolded, objects are still visible and hence students are able to “see” things surrounding them and “read” books using brainwaves. The ideal time for midbrain training ranges over age 5 to 12 years.
Midbrain Training activates the hibernating potential of the brain. Active Midbrain helps the children to easily connect the left & right brain functions at any given situation thus making available the huge potential of the brain.

Traditional education focuses on logical analysis which is mainly left brain training our children receive. Although children could use just their left brain but imagine when a child uses the right brain functions as well, enabling them to realize creativity, imagination and perceptiveness.  So it would be equally important for left brain education and right brain education.

It is estimated that an average human being uses only 3% of the total brain power available, where as the geniuses like Albert Einstein & Newton could use up to 7% of the brain power by accessing logic & creativity together. On an average it is estimated that a human being has access to 100 billion brain cells available to him/her.

Once a child’s midbrain is being activated, he/ she will be able to do things in blindfolded ways and will also be able to unleash hidden potentials or special talents at their very young age!

Benefits of Midbrain Training:

1. Memory Enhancement
2. Concentration Enhancement
3. Confidence Boosting
4. Creativity Enhancement
5. Emotion Management
6. Always maintain Genius Mind Learning State

There are 4 levels of Midbrain training:
Level 1 – Midbrain Activation Training
Level 2 – Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) Enhance Training
Level 3 – Photographic Memory Training
Level 4 – Quantum Speed Reading

Training Methodology
We are using a specially modified and recognized among the most effective midbrain activation teaching which is known as MBM Blindfold Training Method and MBM advanced brainwave frequency in the joy of music and stress-free environment, development of brain field.
According to our research shows that when we start the development of the brain between the image feature, it can wake up some sleeping brain potentials.

What is Midbrain?

The Midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a small region of the brain that serves as a relay center for visual, auditory, and motor system information. As the rostral or front part of the brainstem, the Midbrain is directly involved with motor and sensory functions, and any disruptions can cause irreversible damage.
The tectum is considered the dorsal, or roof, part of the Midbrain and controls visual and auditory reflexes. The tectum is divided into what is called the corpora quadrigemina, which consists of the two superior and two inferior colliculi. The colliculi are essentially the individual control centers for visual and auditory reflexes respectively. The superior colliculi are located below the thalamus and receive visual sensory input. The inferior colliculi are located below the superior colliculi and are involved with processing auditory stimuli.
Forming the floor of the Midbrain is the tegmentum, which regulates autonomic functions and awareness and controls motor skills. As the ventral part of the Midbrain, the tegmentum extends from the substantia to the cerebral aqueduct. The red nucleus is a prominent part of the tegmentum that is involved in motor coordination.
Midbrain importance: Active MidBrain could link left and right brain and also help children to use many higher functions of the right brain easily.

Level 2 – ESP Enhance Level（the right brain power)

Extra-sensory perception (ESP) involves reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses but sensed with the mind. The term was coined by Frederic Myers,and adopted by Duke University psychologist J. B. Rhine to denote psychic abilities such as tactile force (psychometry), clairvoyance, telepathy, telekinesis and precognition.  The term implies acquisition of information by means external to the basic limiting assumptions of science, such as that organisms can only receive information from the past to the present.

Level 3 – Photographic Memory

Eidetic memory, commonly referred to as photographic memory or total recall, is a psychological or medical term, popularly defined as the ability to recall images, sounds or objects in memory with extreme precision.

Level 4 – Quantum Speed Reading

Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) Quantum Speed Reading able to activate the ability of reading and understanding the content of a book through the process of quickly flipping the pages by using Extra Sensory Perception (ESP).
By quickly flipping the books, the brain’s function of capturing picture will be activated, as if watching movie,
However, after training our brains will be able to gradually adapt to this way of reading, understand the text reflected in the form of picture in mind, thus greatly accelerating the speed of reading.
Unlike the many well established forms of speed reading that are in existence, QSR does not require the book to be opened at all.
The QSR technique is not solely about reading, however. It can also be utilised in several other creative ways for problem solving and memorizing, for health improvement and stress reduction, as well as for positive thinking and what can only be described as quasi telepathic communication with plants and animals.
