Another revision was made in July 1997 by its President, Nite Driscoll, to better define AIM's purpose, which is to offer instruction and further develop the knowledge and talents of the non-beginning student, one who already possesses or demonstrates an intermediate or better level of physical dexterity and aptitude relative to their instrument."
