As with anything that has to endure the test of time, the foundation is the most important phase of the development. Anyone familiar with the way Carnatic music is traditionally taught knows that basics of Sruti, Swara and Tala, even the first lyrical compositions called Geetham, are still done using the same set of structured exercises defined by Saint Purandaradasa almost 500 years back! This is where innovation, the very essence of keeping an art alive, comes into play at the Dhvani School. The same curriculum and course material, so to say, but the delivery of the teaching is refreshingly different. The classes are filled with games, puzzles and little contests designed to ignite the interest and passion in the students, making the entire learning experience more memorable and fun.
