In our 90-minute Wonderful Vaadya Project sessions, children get to safely hold and play real instruments like the Sitar, Veena, and Tabla under the guidance of our senior instrumentalists. We bring the entire setup to your location—floor mats for the traditional Baithak, the instruments, and two expert facilitators—so your only job is to watch the wonder on your child's face. ### Bridging the Gap Between Kids and Classical Music We design these workshops to break the common misconception that Indian classical music is too complex or serious for young children. When kids can physically touch the instruments, they stop being observers and become participants. ### What You Can Expect We limit each session to 20 children, ensuring every participant gets quality time with the instruments. The session begins with a 20-minute mini-concert where our professional artists demonstrate the capabilities of the Sitar or Veena. Following this, we move into the supervised 'petting zoo' phase. Whether it is strumming the strings of a Sitar or tapping out a rhythm on the Tabla, children are encouraged to explore at their own pace. ### Logistics and Setup We understand that hosting an event involves many moving parts, so we handle all the heavy lifting. Our team arrives early to set up a comfortable floor-seating arrangement, creating a warm, inviting space. Safety is our priority, so we have dedicated supervision to ensure delicate instruments are handled correctly by the little ones. ### Why Choose This Experience Beyond the fun, we focus on introducing basic concepts like Laya (rhythm) and Swaras (notes) through games rather than lectures. We also provide digital audio links after the session so the learning can continue at home. We are based in Bengaluru and travel to private homes, schools, community centers, and libraries across the city to share this musical parivar with you. ## About ShrotaHouse I’m Madhumita, and my mission with ShrotaHouse is to make our Shastriya Sangeet feel like home for the next generation. We don't believe in boring lectures; we believe in the magic that happens when a child feels the rhythm of a Tabla or hears the strings of a Veena for the first time. We’re building a musical parivar where families learn, laugh, and grow together.
