Music Academy

Fran Smith discusses how, “Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork.” Fine arts education has been proven to increase the academic achievements, development, civic engagement, and the opportunities of the children that participate in it. These are many of the skills that most nations want to imbibe in their youth.

Our students shine not only in academics but in indoor and outdoor activities as well. They outdo their contemporaries in the field of performing arts and win wide acclaims. Skilled professionals are employed to hone the skills and talents of the students in all types of arts and music. Separate acoustic chambers are allotted in the Music Academy Block for training students in various musical instruments like Keyboard, Drums, Guitar, Veena, Flute, Violin and in other art forms like Drawing, Vocal Music Classical Dance, and Folk Dance.

A dancer is allowed to wear the anklets for dancing only after the Salangai Pooja. An Arangetram is a Bharata Natyam dancer’s first full-length solo performance signifying that he/she is able to present the complete suite of traditional repertoire.

School Band

Music is one of the seven intelligences identified in the brain and the only one that utilizes all seven intelligences simultaneously. Students who participate in music courses exercise more of their brain than in any other course they take in school. Band reinforces the skills of cooperation and co-ordination which are among the qualities now most highly valued in business and industry, especially in high-tech contexts.
