Sounds Indian

About Sounds Indian

Classical Indian music is often found to be a difficult genre to grasp as it is very complex. But this hands-on Sounds Indian workshop offers an opportunity to explore many of the aspects of the Raga and allows chance for pupils to be immersed in a new sound world.

The workshops involve a vast range of incredible Indian instruments including sitar, tambura, harmoniums, shruti boxes, war horns, tabla drums, dhols, dholaks, kohls, gopichands, kartals, chimtas, maziras and ghungroos.

Workshops are suitable for children of all ages and carefully crafted for each key stage, bringing Indian music and the raga to life in an exciting and informative way. These sessions work particularly well with single classes but can cater for up to 60 children per hour session.

Diwali Workshops are also available and very popular in the Autumn term. These centre around the story of Rama and Sita and the Festival of Light.
