How are the ex-students doing ?

Some of you, I get to meet/hear from. Some of you, it's been a while. Just curious to know whether the passion for music is still going strong or has diminished. If you've put up any material (not looking for the ultimate performance!) on youtube or any other shared forum, please let me know. Would love to see/hear you and see the progress you've made.

Cheers - Ravi

Know more about Sus chords

Pretty neat explanation of Sus chords. Useful to subscribe to Acoustic Guitar. From time to time I've come across nice articles ranging from how to play, to how to maintain your instruments. Hope this is useful ...

First junior keyboard batch completes it's course!

Another satisfying moment ... the first ever set of kids (age group of 6 to 8) completed its keyboard course. Meant to be a primer/introduction to playing the keyboard, the focus was on getting these enthusiastic kids to channelize their energy into playing some music. Tough ask, considering that they are not used to sitting in one place for more than a few minutes!

So on this eventful day, the participants got an opportunity to perform in front of their parents. While little fingers belted out Twinkle Twinkle, Humpty Dumpty, London Bridge, Waving Flag, Kal Ho Na Ho ... one was left reflecting on the potential in today's children. Wonder how many future A R Rahmans and Stephen Devasys we got to see today :)

Big thanks to my friend and important member of RaGa School, Jinto, who showed a lot of patience in guiding these kids to this stage.

Until the next batch which kicks off in June ....
