Nearly everyone enjoys music, whether by listening to it, singing, or playing an instrument. But despite this almost universal interest, many schools are choosing to do away with their music education programs. This is a mistake, with schools losing not only an enjoyable subject, but a subject that can enrich students’ lives and education. We at Ishan offers benefits even beyond itself.

Learning, thought, creativity, and intelligence don’t just come from the brain alone, but from the entire body. Movement combinations increase memory, order, and sequencing skills. Creating dances also increases self-esteem which is so very important to learning. We already witness the need for children to move throughout the day. Having experienced first hand the positive effects that music and dance have on students’ development, I feel it is important for dance to be included in all elementary (and secondary) curricula.
Physical exercise as well class room sessions are given to students to improve their physical fitness, sports etc. PT is any bodily activity that maintains or enhances physical fitness and overall health and wellness. Physical fitness is a state of health and well-being of a person and, more specifically, the ability to perform various aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities.
