Workshop on music - EDU 301.3

Our college organized a one day workshop on music as a part of EDU 301.3, art and aesthetic education. The resource person was Dr. Thottam Bhuvanachandran Nair. He is a poet, author, creative speaker, and drama researcher. He received a Ph.D. in literature and theatre art in 1995. He wrote many books, one among them is "Rithumozhi". He also received many awards like a special jury award for the best lyricist in 2010. 

The class was inevitable as it emphasizes the importance of inculcating music into our classrooms. Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and mind work together. Sir's class was an eye-opening session for those who don't know the concept "Correlation of music and science". 

The session started at 9:30am with an introductory class. The session halted at 1'o clock. His class was an all-round package of his experience, knowledge about different types of songs, Ragas and rhythms, application of music in the classroom. Then we had a short interlude for lunch. Our whole class had been divided into 11 groups. I was in the 10th group. My group associates were Athulya, Kavyalekshmi, Poornima, and Sayana. We performed a "Thullan pattu" on the topic "Properties of metal" in the chemistry book of the 8th standard. The workshop was fabulous and an eye-opener.
