Music Practice – A Solution for Many Challenges
From increasing stress to increasing isolation, today’s children need an anchor. An anchor that keeps them rooted, energised, motivated, curious and sensitive.
We believe music exposure and training can become that anchor in a child’s life.
The APT Project
The APT Project (Anubhav > Parichay > Taleem) is a three-year-long intervention that systematically introduces traditional art forms (vocal, instrumental and dance) to children from marginalised communities.
Step 1 Anubhav: We curate highly engaging concerts in the school to develop a liking and appreciation towards traditional art forms.
Step 2 Parichay: We organise participative workshops that introduce the basics of art practice to the children.
Step 3 Taleem: Once a week, music training for children, which equips them to master their chosen art form.
Anubhav ~ Inspire
Parichay ~ Engage
Taleem ~ Develop
Bringing joy in learning spaces since 2016. Currently operational at 50 schools and centres in Pune, Satara, Sangamner and Solapur.

Sound Explorations
Baithak is building a series of games and interactive sessions that focus on the medium of Sound.
Our goal is to improve and enhance the listening skills, vocalisation skills, teamwork and confidence of the children through participation in these fun games and activities.
Our latest pilot is a card game designed to introduce 40 Indian Traditional instruments to children, all while having fun!
