Indian classical music is a beautiful combination of rhythm, expression and melody. This way you can nourish your kids’ creativity and cultural understanding. Introducing kids to classical music at home is both interesting and educational. Here are a few activities to do at home.
Play morning and evening ragas to help kids recognize different moods in classical music.
Teach kids the basic seven notes (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa) to develop their sense of melody.
Let kids explore sounds of tabla, sitar or flute through online videos or toy versions of these instruments.
Encourage rhythm practice by using spoons, bowls or claps to create simple beats.
Show short videos or books about legends like Tansen, Ravi Shankar or M.S. Subbulakshmi to spark curiosity.
Play a ‘Guess the Raga’ game or a memory game with different taals (beats) to make learning fun.
Let kids move to the rhythm of classical music, help them connect sound with movement.
