MUSIC

The school provides equitable access to music and all the benefits that can be gained through its learning. By promoting traditional music education, our aim is to foster an appreciation for music, build self-esteem, teach critical social skills and engender creativity and innovation. Music education in the school is well rounded including both Indian Classical and Western music. The genre of music ranges from “Raags” to “Bhajjans and Abhangs”, from Indian folks songs to English classical and fusion.By the end of a student’s school life, they can take pride in the treasure trove of music that they have learnt.

Art and music stimulate a very different part of student’s intellect and imagination.Young boys and girls spend much of their free time in art and music rooms that are housed separately. Every morning the school orchestra plays music at the assembly.
The child opts for a ‘hobby’ on joining the school depending on his / her choice.The school wants every child to excel in some hobby by dedicating more time towards it. It takes certain time for a child to explore his / her talent and thus we have made it mandatory to learn a hobby at least for one term. Every child is different and keeping that in mind we have given many choices to the child, they are:

• Art & Crafts
• Art and Canvas painting
• Clay Modelling
• Paper craft
• Soft toys
• Cartooning
• Glass Painting
• Vegetable Carving
• Flower Arrangement
• Vocal Classical Music
• Indian Classical Instruments( Sitar, Tabla, Sarod etc.)

In the Fine Arts activity, children have a chance to learn the art of basket weaving & pottery. They have also been given the opportunity to prepare a number of craft items, such as table coasters, file folders from handmade paper, painted vases & photograph stands. New items are continuously being added to the list. In addition to the craft items they have been exposed to works of great national & international artists.

The trained professionals in various fields of Music (Indian/Instrumental)  train & provide opportunities to the young Goenkan artists to learn & perform and create worlds of happiness.
We encourage students to identify with these art forms and explore opportunities of expressions at:

Tarana: Where students discover and learn the essentials of Indian Music.
Kalakshetra : Where students explore the finesse of Indian Vocal Music.
Nupur : Where students learn different forms of Indian dance – Classical, Folk & Contemporary.
Twists & Twirls : Where students are trained in western styles of dance viz., salsa, jazz……
Tremolo : Where students fine tune their talents in western music – Instrumental as well as Vocal.
