The children were initially fascinated by the Double Bass, a large instrument very similar to the Cello, played by Adrian Myhr as it was very new to some of them. Vojtech Prochazka played the Harmonium and Harpreet played the Violin. The raga based fusion varied from the tranquil to the energetic and even the hyperactive children listened with rapt attention to the aural magic created by the trio.

In Jain Heritage School, every year this day is celebrated with fanfare. Teachers brainstorm trying to come up with entertaining programmes for the students.

This year's program was planned as a surprise, and none of the students were told of the celebrations. The students had come expecting a full day of classes and schoolwork. Grade 5 student Ram said, "We were expecting a normal school day, we never thought we would be celebrating Children's Day today. I was so happy when the performance started. My favourite was the skit they enacted by imitating us in the classroom." He adds with a giggle.

The teachers put up a medley of performances ranging from skits to tongue twisters, which kept the students on their toes. Ms. Kusuma, teacher for Grade 4 said, "It was fun preparing for the event. The kids were so excited, to see our performances. There is a better way to celebrate Children's Day for us."

Musical Journey with the Warsi Brothers
Posted by Strategic Communications, JGI Group on 11 November 2014

Musical Journey with Warsi Brothers at JHS It was an exciting day for the students at Jain Heritage School (JHS); the students had the opportunity of enjoying a performance by the Warsi brothers. Nazeer Ahmed Khan Warsi, Naseer Ahmed Khan Warsi (Warsi Brothers) are music bearers of the great Qawwali music tradition. They are recognized specially for their Traditional Sufiana Qawwali, Ghazal, Thumri, Bhajan and Classical Bandish style of musi and have won many prestigious awards.

This event was organized in coordination with Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music And Culture Amongst Youth (SPIC MACAY), an organization which aspires to enrich the quality of formal education by increasing awareness about different aspects of Indian heritage and the values embedded in it.

SPIC MACAY has been conducting many enriching programs at JHS. Their programs give students many insights into folk arts and culture. The program with Warsi Brothers introduced the students to the world of Qawwali music.

The program began with the introduction of the chief guest, by the students. Then the performance began the Warsi brothers, introduced the songs before performing them. The songs had varying themes from spiritual to popular beats, and resonated strongly with the students. The last song "Duma Dum Mast Kalandar" was a crowd pleaser and, ended the function on an impressive note.

Mrs. Rani Sebastian, school event coordinator said, "The event highlighted the importance of our cultural art forms, and our roots. The students were exposed to Qawwali music, which they would not have found in the mainstream culture. It opens their eyes to the rich tapestry of our classical forms.

"The event was followed by a questionnaire session, when the students interacted with the artistes. They raised relevant question of taking up music as a career despite parental opposition. The artistes answered by asking them to believe in their passions, and to foster their talent.

Ms. Archana Vishwanath, Principal of Jain Heritage School said,"These programs send a strong message to our students. With the help of organisations like SPIC MACAY, we are able to bring artists closer to our students. We have always put emphasis on cultural values and try to make it a part of every JHS student."

The event was an extremely entertaining for JHS students, and one they will look forward to in the coming academic year.

SPIC MACAY, an organization that promotes classical music among students, conducts this yearly programme. The musical duo hail from a lineage of royal singers. The Warsi brothers and their eight accompanist are Qawwali singers, known for their soul stirring melodies and brilliant improvisations.

The roots of Qawwali can be traced back to 8^th century Persia. Delhi's Sufi saint Amir Khusro Dehlavi of the Chisti order of Sufis is credited with fusing the Persian and Indian musical traditions to create Qawwali as we know it today .Qawwali is a form of Sufi Devotional musical performance. A group of Qawwali musicians typically consists of eight or nine men including a lead singer, one or two side singers, one or two harmoniums, and percussion. They start with an instrumental prelude where the main melody is played on the harmonium, accompanied by the tabla, and which may include improvised variations of the melody.

The Warsi brothers have many laurels under their belt, and have always given their most exciting performances at JHS. There is no doubt that the students of JHS are eagerly awaiting their melodies.
