Hari Om Parents!
In today's class, we had one of the students demonstrate the differences and nuances in notes and scale prevalent in Carnatic music and Jazz/Blue music. He did an excellent job using saxophone as the instrument to play and demonstrate the differences.
The kids continued learning and practicing the Geetha Dhayanam shlokas
with Shlokathon teacher Ms. Gayathri. They are getting very comfortable with words and exact pronunciations. The next step would be to memorize and recite without the book!
Shantha Aunty was again at the class to teach some additional meditation techniques and kids learnt a technique of meditation which increases oxygen flow to the brain area. This is in turn would increase their concentration and ability to retain more information!
We do not have BalaVihar for next 2 weeks and look forward to see you all back at BV on Nov 17. 2013. We are looking to focus on sub-topic "Architecture". It would be great if you could remind and help the kids prepare for the discussion by going over the information in the book "Awakening Indians to India" as well as looking at some genuine material on the Web.
Lastly, we would like to wish a very happy and joyous Deepavali to you and your loved ones.
Regards
Ranga & Anand ( Dharmam class Teachers)
