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 years long intervention which 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 liking and appreciation towards traditional art forms.
Step 2 Parichay: We organise participative workshops that introduce basics of art practice to the children.
Step 3 Taleem: Once a week music training to 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.
