What Your Child Will Learn?
Keyboard
At Dhwani Sangeet Mahavidyalaya Summer Camp, the Keyboard classes are structured to introduce children to the exciting world of music through hands-on practice. Kids learn the fundamentals of hand placement, keyboard geography, and basic music theory. They explore major and minor scales, simple melodies, chords, and basic rhythm patterns. By the end of the camp, students are able to play beginner-level songs using both hands, understand basic sheet music, and develop improved finger coordination and listening skills. Special focus is placed on performance etiquette and stage presence. The emphasis is on joyful learning and building a strong musical foundation.
Guitar
Our Guitar sessions are tailored for young beginners and intermediate players alike. Children start with understanding guitar anatomy, string tuning, and posture. They learn open chords, simple strumming patterns, and chord progressions. Gradually, they move to basic finger exercises, melody playing, and even ensemble practice with peers. The sessions include learning popular songs and developing performance readiness. By the end of the camp, children gain hands-on experience with rhythm and harmony, and are confident to perform solo or in a group setting. Both acoustic and electric guitar options are supported.
Drums
The Drums module is all about rhythm, coordination, and energy! Students begin with an introduction to drum kit setup, proper stick grip, and body posture. They learn basic grooves, time signatures, simple fills, and play-along patterns with popular beats. Emphasis is placed on tempo control, hand-foot coordination, and rhythm discipline. Through practical play-along and jam sessions, kids get real-time exposure to being the heartbeat of a musical group. These engaging sessions help improve timing, focus, and confidence, setting a solid rhythmic foundation for aspiring percussionists.
Violin
Violin classes are carefully curated to blend classical discipline with creativity. Children are taught the fundamentals of instrument handling, bow grip, and finger placement. They learn to play open string exercises, basic scales (like C and D major), and simple tunes such as folk or light classical pieces. Ear training and rhythm clapping sessions are integrated to develop tonal accuracy and timing. The camp encourages ensemble playing, where students perform group pieces, fostering teamwork and musical awareness. The focus is on building patience, technique, and love for this elegant instrument.
Vocal
Our Vocal training module offers an enriching dive into Indian classical and semi-classical music. Students learn the seven swaras, alankars (note patterns), and basic ragas like Yaman or Bhupali, and rhythm patterns (taals). They also practice breathing exercises, voice modulation, and pitch control. Alongside classical techniques, students enjoy singing bhajans, and folk, making the sessions fun and versatile. Each child gains confidence through solo and group singing activities, improving their vocal range, tone, and expression. Special focus is placed on performance etiquette and stage presence.
Kathak Dance
Kathak classes at the summer camp immerse students in one of India’s most expressive classical dance forms. Children are trained in the basics of tatkaar (footwork), chakkars (spins), hastak (hand movements), and abhinaya (facial expressions). They learn tukras, simple compositions, and rhythm counting using bols. With live or recorded tabla accompaniment, students gain a practical understanding of laya (tempo) and taal (beat cycle). The sessions conclude with a short group choreography performance. These classes not only teach dance but instill discipline, grace, and cultural appreciation.
Western Dance
Our high-energy Western Dance classes are a hit among children of all ages! Covering styles like Jazz, Freestyle, Hip-Hop, and Bollywood, the classes focus on body control, rhythm, and expressive movement. Kids start with warm-ups, isolation exercises, and rhythm games before moving into choreography routines. They learn formations, musical cues, and performance dynamics. Each session boosts stamina, flexibility, and confidence. By the end of the camp, students showcase a full routine with flair and enthusiasm in our end-of-camp showcase. It’s a fun way to stay fit while mastering movement.
Fine Arts
The Fine Arts section of our summer camp is where imagination meets technique. Children work with various mediums including pencil sketching, watercolors, oil pastels, acrylic painting, and clay modeling. Each session is structured around themes such as nature, festivals, or famous art styles. Kids learn color theory, perspective drawing, and shading techniques while also creating DIY crafts. The focus is on process-based learning, where children enjoy expressing themselves freely while developing fine motor skills, patience, and an aesthetic sense. Their artworks are displayed in a mini exhibition at the end of the camp.
