This course has been designed for the age group 8+ to 10 years of age. Children at this age have clear preference on their musical choices and this program will offer students a platform outside the classical discipline. Children can learn and enjoy music without affiliation to a particular genre. Singing and understanding music through simple activities can be appealing to a wide range of children.
