Music

Every promising talent needs a guru and at the school, Carnatic music is taught in a systematic manner by a competent teacher, adhering to the rules of classical music.

The basics of Carnatic music are based on a swara system. To start learning carnatic music, the student is trained with voice training sessions called varishas, followed by geethams, varnams and keerthanes. Varishas are swara patterns that train a student to handle a particular raga to equip him to learn carnatic music. It also initiates the students to the concept of tala or rhythm. Carnatic music is sung at different speed levels in order to increase the strength and control of the voice.In addition to learning vocal music, the children begin to appreciate great carnatic music and well known singers of this genre.

Every year ‘Thyagaraja Aradhane’ is celebrated in school, in which both teachers and students participate with great enthusiasm.

Apart from English classical music and popular songs, the syllabus includes songs of various European screen plays, like Caro Mio Ben, Encosta Tua Cabecinha, Zum Galli Galli which are of Italian, Portuguese and Israeli origin respectively.
