CHENNAI, India - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Chennai, June 25, 2013: Chennai based NGO BRHADDHVANI (a research and training centre for the musics of the world) today launched 4 text books on music curriculum for the KG and Primary classes. The books – Kids’ COMET I &II (for Kindergarteners) and SVARITHA I & II (for classes 1 and 2)  were launched by Ms. Leela Samson, Chairperson of Sangeet Natak Academi & the Central Board of Film Certification. The first copy of the books were received by Mr. Sudhir Rao and Ms. Sadhana Rao, Directors of Art Links Learning, who are in partnership with Brhaddhvani , to deliver music education to children in schools in Chennai.

Founder Chairman of Brhaddhvani, Dr. Karaikudi S Subramanian, in his opening address stated that “It has always been my dream to see classical music education reach far and wide and little children get initiated and introduced to our rich tradition at a very young age. Today I am about to see my dream come true”.

Dr. Karaikudi S Subramanian further added that he has engaged in 21 years of relentless work in music research, curricular development and music philanthropy to disseminate music education throughout the world. “More recently our COMET methodology has captured the imagination of parents, school management, alike. I am pleased to state that we are now all set for the next phase school curricular programmes with our able partners Art Links Learning ”.

Ms. Leela Samson, who unveiled and launched the text books, stated that it was her proud privilege to be part of this great tiding in the music education segment. “ Being a student and a teacher myself, I am able to state that it is a proud moment for all of us in India today – as we see schools taking so much interest in imparting structured Art & Music curriculum to children from a very young age”.

Upon receiving the first copy, Sudhir Rao, Director, Art Links Learning reinforced the shared mission between Art Links and Brhaddhvani - of dissemination of holistic curriculum in the music and arts space for children of all ages – in a seamless, structured, fun learning process. “We are committed to Brhaddhvani to ensure value addition in every stage of delivery at schools”, stated Sadhana Rao.  She added, ““The scope and scale of Brhaddhvani’s COMET methodology using correlated objective training is fascinating and I believe, the conceptually thought through standardized lesson delivery plans of Kids’ COMET and Svaritha will trigger the innate sensibilities of little children as they are most receptive to sounds and tunes.” She took a moment to thank the various Principals and Educators from multiple schools of Chennai who have understood the power and need for Arts Education in their communities and have whole heartedly supported this cause. She thanked them to have graced the milestone occasion of the Text Book launch with their presence.

Brhaddhvani’s Senior faculty member and research scholar, who authored the text books, Ms Sowmiya Muralidharan, made an interesting presentation to demonstrate the key aspects in music education that she has focussed on with these books. She stated that “A gentle play way method, using multiple fun filled activity based lessons encourage children to grasp the various elements of music with much ease and enjoyment. The objective of these courses is to make available our classical music tradition to every child. The curriculum correlates music education with the other essential academic disciplines which the child undergoes as a part of school curriculum. Awareness building of the environment through folk lore, patriotism for the country, and literacy of various languages is taught through the medium songs and compositions in Bhojpuri, Assamese, Oriya, Bengali, Hindi, and Marathi etc.. The courseware has been structured with a focus on foundations of Indian Classical Music - showcasing Carnatic, Hindustani and Folk traditions. The effort is a result of over 15 years of research and development in the music education domain for children.
