The WESTERN MUSIC Zeal club went on from July 3rd 2021 to 25th September 2021. The plan was to teach the children the theories of western music, make them do vocal exercises and also teach a few western songs in the period of 13 sessions, and make them present at the end of the sessions.
The club had students who were beginners with basic knowledge of western music, so, the first session started with general instructions and an introduction to western music.
The first song they learned was Do Re Mi, from the movie ‘The Sound Of Music’ a western musical. They learnt the musical notes and practiced vocal exercises while learning this song.
After this, we taught a list of songs like- I love my teacher, We are the world, Heal the world and You are my sunshine.
In every class, a few minutes were spent on learning the theories of music like Treble Clef and Bass Clef and they also learnt the introduction for musical notations.
The kids were given assignments which were specific to the learning, and in the last session, the virtual exhibition of the Western Music Club was presented before the parents, which was a wonderful closing event.
In short, it was a challenging and yet a wonderful experience, teaching students western Music and making them perform in just 12 sessions.
