Our classes are all about mixing fun and learning - no boring lectures, just singing, dancing, and playing. I believe even the tiniest kids can connect with our culture if we keep things lively. ### What Happens in Class Kids from 6 months to 5 years jump right in - singing, moving, and exploring. I lead sessions with other trained vocalists, and we love when parents join the action. It’s not just about music, it’s about bonding. - We sing everything from classical-based songs to Bollywood hits. Sometimes you’ll catch us humming old favorites like 'Aane wala pal jaane wala hai'. - Movement is big here. Ribbons, flowers, props - all to help kids feel the rhythm. - Sargam learning activities are woven in, using blocks and games so kids pick up basics like Sa, Re, Ga, Ma without even realizing it. - We gently introduce raag and taal concepts through playful songs and activities. ### Hands-On Instrument Time Kids get to try mini tabla, dholak, manjira, tambourines, and shakers. It’s noisy, messy, and full of smiles. This is where they really connect with rhythm and sound. ### Who It’s For If your child is between 6 months and 5 years, and you want them to explore Indian classical music for toddlers in a playful way, this is their space. No pressure, just discovery and fun. ## Highlights Browse through Little Ustaads's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/littleustaads/early-childhood-indian-music-movement/featured) - ![A bird's eye view of our jamming session, where little hands get to explore a variety of Indian percussion instruments.
