VOCAL

Where words fail, music speaks! Music says things that cannot be said in words. We need music to say the things we cannot say any other way. If there is great joy, we need music. If there is great sadness, we need music. In fact, we need music whenever we have a great need to say something important. Well, why is it important to learn to read and write? So we can communicate! The more we learn, the more we can say what we want to say. It’s the same with music. The more we learn about music, the more we will be able to say what we want to say in music. In other words, the more we learn about music, the more we will be able to say things that we cannot say in words. But that’s not all. The more we learn about music, the more we will also understand about what it means to be human. The ‘Melody’ lab will be housing the future singers. Music curriculum comprises listening and responding, performing and composing activities. Instrumental Music Music evokes emotions without words and Instrumental Music does exactly that! Without instrumental music the songs won’t have soul!
