Second TAAD @ Sancta Maria

“Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!”

J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

The finer senses awoke from its routine slumber when Sancta Maria witnessed the 2^nd TAAD (The Appreciation of Arts Day ) on 29^th of July in the school.

The percussionists performed; the music reverberated and prevailed!

Ankita at the drums and Sai with the ‘dholak’ brought music to life. The rigour of their ‘jugalbandi’ obliged all the feet to tap and the bodies to swing. It was sheer magic!!

Absolute awe abound when Sai rendered a Telugu folk song along with playing the ‘kanjeera’ (a South Indian frame drum, an instrument of the tambourine family. ). The pace and the rhythm of the’ kanjeera’ brought Urska ( our French teacher ) almost to her feet with her arms up in the air trying to catch up with the beat!

Needless to say, the children were spell bound! This was the first time at Sancta Maria that a fusion of the Western and Indian classical music was experimented on. We definitely hope that in due course our children will become ‘little connoisseurs’ of art in any form!
