We believe that
individual success is determined by the strength of an individual’s creative
endeavor and competitive spirit.
Triveni activities emphasize creative thinking
and expression as key goals. These activities offer opportunities to our
students to express themselves in ways that a highly structured academic
program will not. Our students also understand and develop the spirit of
achievement through games and sport. What better way than sport for children
to understand their strengths, work on their weaknesses and work towards
achieving their goals.
At Triveni our children learn
to appreciate different forms of art and sports. They learn skills in art,
craft, music, dance, drama and sports. Art and music allows students to
think creatively and express their ideas in a variety of ways. Sports &
games provide conditions for children to test their limits and achieve
difficult goals. It teaches them to think outside the square and to step
outside their comfort zones. This education can benefit them in achieving
greater success in academic and other fields.
Our Triveni Programme is an
integral part of our academic curriculum and complements the structured
learning that happens through the school day.
Music – Instrumental here children are exposed to two instruments, the
keyboard and the guitar. By singing with them and teaching them the use of
musical instruments, the teacher emphasizes music appreciation and how
singing can be enhanced by use of instruments and vice-versa. The children
also learn to follow and read musical notes.
Music –
Vocal here children are taught to sing in the classical Carnatic style,
which is the classical vocal style popular in South India. The teacher sings
to them and in following her singing children learn to sing patriotic,
religious and popular songs using this style.
Dance
here children are exposed to classical dance forms such as Kathak and
Bharatnatyam and also the more popular fusion style. The dance teacher uses
musicals to teach children different ‘mudras’ and steps and how to depict
different moods and situations through dance.
Theatre &
Drama: Here children learn skills in communication through dialogues
and expression. Through voice modulation, dialogue and movement exercises
children are taught to perform (act) in various situations (scenes) by
expressing emotions and thoughts.
Art &
Craft here various forms of art and craft are used to ignite
children’s imagination. Children are encouraged to think creatively and
express their often innovative ideas through art. Using material such as
styrofoam, clay, paper, dry twigs, dry leaves, tissue, fabric, paints,
crayons and many other art materials children learn the skills to create and
appreciate art. They are also taught techniques in drawing and painting
thereby teaching them yet another form for expressing their ideas.
Sport
here skills required in different sporting activities such as cricket,
football, throw ball, athletics and basketball are learned. The teacher
focuses both on theory and practice. Fitness is also a key part of the
learning. By organizing competitions children are taught the importance of
working towards a goal and achieving success.
