2020 was the year the Pimba Foundation was founded (foundation date July 10). The various legal steps speak for themselves: formation of a board, opening a bank account, registration with the Chamber of Commerce, contacting the administration office and all other legal/financial concerns. Pimba has obtained ANBI status as of October 27, 2020.
The following technical matters were realized/adjusted in 2020:
- security and SSL certificate
- the CMS was adjusted to better align the songs and music explanations
- old parts of the site (with information from and about other instruments) were finally cleared, so that Pimba will focus exclusively on the keyboard instruments in the future
- errors in the music reading game were repaired
- high scores were adjusted so that every month starts with an empty score with new opportunities for the user
- actions were taken in various educational groups via Facebook to bring Pimba to the attention of primary education.
The following content was realized/adjusted:
- the music explanation was adjusted and focused more on keyboard instruments only
- the content of the music explanation and songs were coordinated to arrive at a consistent piano/keyboard method
- the content of the music reading game was brought more into line with the music explanation
- of course, new songs were also published on the site.
Some key figures: in total, more than 33,000 visitors visited the site in 2020 during almost 46,000 sessions. An average of 3 pages were visited per session. The average session duration was 3 minutes. Traditionally, most visitors were welcomed in the months of December and January.
Outlook: the site will have to be technically renewed in the near future (the current design/technology has been in operation since 2013). Over the past year, extensive research has been done into the possibilities of building a new site (or having it built) via Wordpress or Bolt. Such a new site can then be adapted to the specifications set by advancing technology. In addition, various new functions can be built in, such as external input of new songs and multilingualism. The first concrete steps have been taken for the latter. A formal decision on this subject will be taken in 2021.
In the reporting year, the board met once, on September 26.
On behalf of the board,…… Anton Treffers (chairman)
