Best Practices
REMEDIAL CLASSES
For students who require extra assistance, remedial programs are set up to provide extra practice and learning methods. This enables the learner to gain positive impact by filling the cognitive gaps. Particularly in fine arts, and more so in Vocal Indian music, it is imperative to master the tonic Swara, which can be achieved only with consistant Riyaz and Sadhana. Such fine techniques are imparted during the Remedial classes.
Advanced classes
Advanced Learners are encouraged to first practice and demonstrate before the remedial learners forming a scaffold for the less progressive, enabling rich learning experience, and opening horizons of possibility.
