1. The Grand Annual Day Celebration: Pluck, Play, and Perform
There’s something magical about Annual Day celebrations. The stage lights shining bright, the sound of instruments being tuned, and the nervous excitement in the air—it's a moment where months of hard work culminate in a grand showcase of talent and creativity.
This year’s Annual Day, held on January 6th, 2025, was titled "Melodies of Joy," and it certainly lived up to its name. The evening was filled with mesmerizing performances, each one telling a unique story through music. From soulful ghazals to electrifying rock solos, our students demonstrated a wide range of musical styles, leaving the audience captivated.
Here are some memorable moments from the celebration:
Opening Performance: The event kicked off with a powerful choral rendition of a classic Hindi patriotic song. The synchronized voices of 30 students set the tone for an evening of inspiration and unity.
Instrumental Extravaganza: Our advanced guitar and piano students collaborated on a fusion piece, blending Indian classical ragas with modern jazz elements. The performance was met with thunderous applause, with many parents expressing how proud they were of their children’s progress.
Student Stories: Perhaps the most touching part of the evening was when Aarav Shah, a young guitarist, shared how he overcame his fear of performing on stage. "When I first joined the academy, I could barely play a chord without feeling nervous," he said. "But today, thanks to the encouragement of my teachers and friends, I played my heart out."
The Annual Day was not just a showcase of talent—it was a celebration of personal growth, teamwork, and the transformative power of music. It reminded everyone present why Vaishali Made Music Academy stands as a beacon of artistic excellence.
2. New Course Launches and Learning Opportunities
With each new year comes the opportunity to learn and explore new horizons. This January, Vaishali Made Music Academy introduced several new courses designed to meet the evolving interests of our students.
Here’s a closer look at what’s new:
Advanced Ghazal Singing Course
In response to the growing interest in classical music forms, we launched an Advanced Ghazal Singing course. This program goes beyond the basics, diving deep into the nuances of ghazal performance, including voice modulation, emotional expression, and poetic interpretation.
One of our senior instructors, Priya Joshi, explained the course’s significance:"Ghazals are not just songs—they are stories wrapped in melodies. Our goal is to help students understand and convey those stories with authenticity and grace."
Students have already begun sharing positive feedback about the course, noting how it has helped them connect more deeply with the art form.
Music Production and Sound Design
For students interested in the technical side of music, we introduced a course on Music Production and Sound Design. This program equips learners with the skills to create, mix, and master tracks using industry-standard software.
The course has attracted a diverse group of students, including aspiring producers and musicians looking to take control of their creative process. As one student put it, "I've always wanted to create my own music from scratch, and now I finally have the tools and knowledge to do it."
