Raga & Tala - Travel to India through Music

About Raga & Tala - Travel to India through Music

This class introduces children to the basic features of classical ragas and talas. Children will explore folk music styles of India, learn new songs and clapping games, and explore the different families of ragas and their relatives - the talas. Through listening activities, stories, songs, simple pieces (sargam) and games, children will learn the fundamentals of Indian classical music, and begin to appreciate its beauty and contemporary relevance. Music connects people and communities, and in this course children can experience this connection to their peers. As a parent, you can join your child in listening to Indian folk and classical music together, creating a musical environment at home. I wish you a joyful journey together!

This class is limited to 10 students.
