Life at The Pupil · Dance and Music
Find
their rhythm.
From Carnatic vocal to the drum kit, from Bharatanatyam to western dance, every child gets a stage to share what they love.
Explore dance and music
Some children find their voice in a song, some in a raga, some in a beat or a step. We give each of them the teachers, the practice and the stage to discover it.
What dance and music build in every child
Four ways to grow.
What children carry with them long after the last note.
Discipline.
Hours of practice teach children that every graceful step is built one rehearsal at a time.
Confidence.
Stepping on stage to sing or play makes it easier to speak up everywhere else.
Teamwork.
In a band, a choir or a dance troupe, children learn to listen and move as one.
Joy.
Music and movement give every child a happy way to express themselves.
What they learn
Find what they love.
Four music forms and two dance forms, each taught by specialist teachers.
Voice and raga
Carnatic Vocal
Students learn to sing in tune and in rhythm, from simple songs to Carnatic compositions, and grow comfortable singing for an audience.
Strings
Violin
Students learn to hold the bow, find the notes and play in time with others, building patience with every lesson.
Keys and melody
Keyboard
From first melodies to full pieces, students learn to read music and play with both hands.
Band
Guitar and Drums
Students pick up guitar and drums, then come together as a band to rehearse and perform.
Classical dance
Bharatanatyam
Through footwork, expressions and storytelling, students learn one of India’s oldest classical dance forms.
Movement
Western Dance
Students explore rhythm, choreography and teamwork in high-energy western dance routines.
It isn’t about the perfect note.
It’s about finding the courage to play.
December celebrations
Margazhi Mahotsav.
Every December, in the Tamil month of Margazhi, the whole school comes together for a festival of music and dance. Students from Step 1 to the Diploma Programme perform devotional songs, Carnatic music and classical dance, joined by guest musicians on violin, mridangam and keyboard.
