Earth Day at Chennai School of Music & Arts: Green Beats and Creative Answers

Earth Day is more than a date on the calendar – it’s a chance to blend art with action. At Chennai School of Music & Arts we’re turning the campus into a hub of eco‑friendly creativity. Whether you play an instrument, love to dance, or enjoy painting, there’s a simple, fun way to join the cause.

What’s Happening on Earth Day?

We’ve lined up three easy‑to‑join events. First, a sunrise acoustic session in the garden where students perform songs about nature. Bring a reusable water bottle and feel the morning light while the guitars echo the call for cleaner air. Second, a "Recycle‑and‑Create" art workshop. Bring old paper, plastic caps, or fabric scraps and our teachers will guide you to make sculptures, collages, or even musical instruments from the waste. Finally, a short talk on sustainability led by a local environmental activist. No jargon, just practical tips you can use at home and in the studio.

How You Can Add a Green Touch to Your Art

Even if you can’t attend the events, there are easy habits to make your practice greener. Swap disposable plastic strings for metal or biodegradable options. Use LED lights for practice rooms – they save electricity and keep the mood calm. When you record music, choose a digital workflow that reduces paper use, and share your tracks online instead of printing CDs.

For dancers, try costumes made from recycled fabrics or natural fibers. Simple changes like using a reusable mat instead of disposable ones cut down waste dramatically. Paint lovers can mix their own pigments from natural sources like spices, coffee grounds, or beet juice – it adds a unique color and reduces chemical runoff.

We also encourage you to spread the word. Tag your Earth Day posts with #GreenRhythmCHSMA and show how you’re making art sustainable. The best photos or videos will be featured on our website and social channels, giving you a shout‑out for your eco‑efforts.
