Awareness of Music and Musical Instruments


Presentation by Academia, International music foundation (28/6/2012).
The students of classes VI - IX had the privilege of participating in a very interesting and interactive presentation on an awareness of music and musical instruments by Mr Marthand and team, from Academia International music foundation.
He gave a detailed presentation on the types of musical instruments besides speaking about the importance of music. He also specified that students who learnt classical music improved by 20% in their academics as observed in the past 20 years.
The session ended with a video of orchestra by TED in Venezuela, which was played by orphans under 18 in CARACAS – Venezuela .  Students could identify the instruments that were listed earlier in the session through this video.
A flyer and an enquiry form were given to all students to be filled and returned to respective class teachers, in case the child is interested in learning any of the musical instruments.
