Republic Day at Chennai School of Music & Arts – Join the Celebration
Republic Day isn’t just a holiday; it’s a chance to feel the heartbeat of India through music, dance and art. At Chennai School of Music & Arts we turn the day into a living classroom, where students of all ages get to play, sing and move to the sounds of our nation. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a fun activity or an advanced student ready to showcase talent, we have something for you.
Why Celebrate Republic Day with Music?
Patriotic songs carry history, emotions and ideas – and learning them gives you a direct line to that heritage. Our teachers break down classic anthems like "Jana Gana Mana" and "Vande Mataram" into easy‑to‑follow sections, so you can sing confidently in a group or solo. The rhythm of marching bands, the sway of folk dances and the energy of contemporary beats all blend to create a festive vibe that feels authentic and inclusive.
Beyond the songs, we focus on the values behind the day: unity, courage, and respect. When students practice together, they experience teamwork and pride in a tangible way. That’s why our Republic Day program is more than a performance – it’s a learning experience that ties music to civic spirit.
What’s Happening on the Day?
Our schedule is packed but flexible. The morning kicks off with a short workshop on patriotic drumming, where you’ll learn basic tabla and dhol patterns used in national parades. After a quick coffee break, we move to vocal practice – a group sing‑along of iconic songs, with guidance on pitch, breath control and expression.
In the afternoon, senior students lead a cultural showcase featuring:
- Classical Bharatanatyam pieces set to historic poems.
- A fusion band blending traditional Indian instruments with modern arrangements.
- Interactive storytelling where participants create short rhythmic compositions inspired by the Constitution.
Parents and friends are invited to watch the final performance on the school’s open stage. We also stream it live for anyone who can’t be there in person. The event ends with a short speech from our director, highlighting the role of arts in nation‑building.
Want to join but not sure where to start? Sign up for one of our one‑hour drop‑in sessions – no prior experience required. You’ll get a quick tutorial, a chance to try an instrument, and a souvenir flag‑themed music sheet.
Remember, Republic Day is a chance to celebrate the country’s story, and music is one of the most powerful ways to tell that story. Come to Chennai School of Music & Arts, feel the rhythm of freedom, and make the day memorable for yourself and everyone around you.
