Music Practice – A Solution for Many Challenges
From increasing stress to increasing isolation, today’s children need an anchor. An anchor that keeps them rooted, energised, motivated, curious and sensitive.
We believe music exposure and training can become that anchor in a child’s life.
Our Flagship Initiaitive: The APT Project
The APT Project (Anubhav > Parichay > Taleem) is a three years long intervention which systematically introduces traditional art forms (vocal, instrumental and dance) to children from marginalised communities.
Step 1 Anubhav: We curate highly engaging concerts in the school to develop liking and appreciation towards traditional art forms.
Step 2 Parichay: We organise participative workshops that introduce basics of art practice to the children.
Step 3 Taleem: Once a week music training to children which equips them to master their chosen art form.
The SoundBox
As the name suggests, SoundBox combines simple instruments and fun activities to engage children with various musical and sound related activities.
Sound is a primal medium of learning, exploration and expression. The SoundBox helps educators to deepen their children’s engagement and understanding of sound as a medium.
The sound box improves listening skills, vocalisation skills, team work and confidence of the children through fun games and activities.
What are the biggest challenges of this century?
How does music help us?
Why is music critical in human society?
Why work with children?
All our work focusses on these three key aspects.
