Shankar Mahadevan Academy (SMA) was started 14 years ago by Sridhar Ranganathan along with Padma Shri Shankar Mahadevan. The academy’s mission is to make learning of music easy, accessible and exciting to people worldwide.
With a team of experts trained in Carnatic and Hindustani music, the academy continues to spread the joy of music to over 45,000 students in 92 countries across the globe.
Launch of Hindustani Music Course for CBSE Students
CBSE offers Hindustani music courses for students from Class 9th-12th. There is often a dearth of skilled teachers for this subject. Recognizing this challenge, SMA has introduced a new course specifically designed for CBSE students.
About the course
* This course offers an introduction to Hindustani Classical Music, tailored to prepare students from Class 9th to 12th for their CBSE exams.
* The curriculum encompasses both theoretical and practical components, covering essential aspects such as raga, tala, and swara, as well as vocal training.
* This holistic approach ensures that students gain a deep understanding of music theory while also developing their practical performance skills.
Eligibility and course structure
To be eligible for this course, students must have selected Hindustani Classical Vocals as their subject in their school curriculum. The course structure includes 12 online classes, delivered over six weeks, with two classes per week. This format provides a flexible yet rigorous learning schedule designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their CBSE exams, including both written and viva assessments.
This initiative allows students to select music as a subject for their final exams, marking a significant milestone in integrating music education into mainstream academics.
