There is plethora of schools and children activity centers in India mushrooming as parents have realized the benefits of using Music as instrument of developing child's health personality.
These centers are focusing on children from age 2 to 14 years. In these centers children learn to create, bake, sing stretch, dance, act and perform well while having fun at the same time.
Normally the classes in these centers are an hour long and some schools offering pick and drop facilities also. There is usually a waiting room for nannies and care takers while kids attend the class.
Here, the children learn the techniques of story telling with musically backdrops and musical dramatizations with musical improvisations.
Kids stretch physically as well in their imaginations and learn new vocabulary. They start inhibiting qualities of getting independent in interacting with kids other than their school mates and neighborhood friends.
I was amazed at one idea implemented on kids in one the schools in my town. It is mixing yoga and popular Hindi music. Normally yoga is boring for small boys and girls, therefore, they do not show interest in Yoga and it is later stage of our life we normally understand the benefits of Yoga. But to my amazement I found kids doing Yoga the interesting way. A school was using popular music as background for doing Yoga exercise and hence it become an activity of interest for all kids and they will reap benefits of doing and learning yoga from the tender age.
Music provides kids with ways of self-expression. Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on "doing," as opposed to observing, and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world.
