Varee Chiang Mai School organised a musical week under the banner “Varee
Beats 2006” from September 4 to 8. The event hoped to let students
experience both Thai and Western music and allow them to realise the
significance of music in their daily lives. This is all part of Varee Chiang
Mai School’s new music program.
Varee Pathravanich opened the event saying that the new music program at
Varee Chiang Mai School will support student’s musical talents at all
levels, helping young people develop their minds in ways that are not in the
usual scope of ordinary classes. She went on to say that although music was
not at the forefront of Varee’s academic program, any student who showed
talent would be fully supported by the school. Varee hopes that all its
students will have an understanding of the theory of Western music and all
graduates will have basic musical knowledge.
Varee outlined the music program by adding that students at pratom level
will be taught basic musical notation and piano. At mathayom level students
will learn the guitar and have the opportunity to learn sound engineering.
At present a new building is being constructed to house a recording studio.

CMU Mini-MBA to unlock trade barrier for small to medium enterprises in free trade era
Preeyanoot Jittawong
The Faculty of Business Administration, Chiang Mai University, is to open
its fifteenth mini-MBA course with a revised curriculum entitled
“Unlocking Trade Barriers for SMEs in the FTA Era.”
The curriculum for this latest incarnation of the mini-MBA is designed to
help participants manage their businesses amidst rapid changes in
technology, communications and transportation. These changes have caused
dramatic changes in the way businesses are operated and in an increasingly
globalised world, investment is conducted on an international, rather than
national stage. These changes have opened new markets worldwide for small
and medium businesses (SMEs), the group that makes up the largest proportion
of the Thai market.
The Faculty of Business Administration, Chiang Mai University, realising the
importance of preparing Thai SME owners for this new ‘globalised’
market, aims to train participants in their mini-MBA how to access and take
advantage of international markets.
Anyone interested in taking the mini-MBA course can register to study
between now and October 23. The cost of the course is 42,000 baht per
person, including books, lunch meals and break snacks for the whole training
period. This fee does not include the cost of the study trip abroad. More
