New Junior Keyboard Batch starting on 9-Jan-2012

Registrations are on-going. Only a few seats remain. If you have already been called to come and register, kindly  do so at the earliest to avoid missing your seat.

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 ....

Keyboard classes

We've made a pretty decent start ... the kinds that I like ... slow and steady. Reminds me of the times when a few of us got together and laid out plans to build a new organization or establish a new capability and broke down plans by the Quarter and quite often set monthly goals! No 'number' based goals this time, primarily looking at qualitative goals ... all aimed at making it easier for people to learn and enjoy playing music. Must say it is inspirational to see a little Pranav and a little Nalina letting their fingers dance on the keys and listen with keen interest to what the teacher had to share!

Launching Keyboard Classes

Folks,
Delighted to announce the launch of keyboard classes at RaGa. Please pass on the information to anyone who might be interested. Thanks in advance!
BTW: We need to think of another name for the periodic get-to-gethers ... can't call it 'GuitarOtsav', because now, we're going to have keyboard students as well!!! Open to suggestions for a different name for this event.
Cheers,
Ravi
