History

In 2003, pianist Kit Young, Bruce Gaston, and Burmese colleagues Moe Naing and Tin Yi,[7] founded Gitameit Music Center in Yangon, to foster a supportive community of local musicians and audiences, and to foster collaboration with the global community.[8][2] The school's founding helped to fulfill demand for music education in the country, where limited options, such as the National University of Arts and Cultures in Yangon and Mandalay, are available.[9]

On 25 February 2017, a new three-storey building was inaugurated to house the Yangon campus.[3][10] Gitameit launched Myanmar's first secular men's and women's choir, Gitameit Voices.[11] A new campus in Mandalay opened Шаблон:Circa.[12]
