“The arts are
an essential element of education--keys that unlock profound human
understanding and accomplishment.”
At DPSGI, we believe that art is a celebration of life itself. We inspire our students to develop an appreciation of the arts – painting, music, dance and theatre. Children are introduced to Visual and Performing Arts from an early age. Fine Arts, Theatre, Dance and Music are offered as optional subjects of learning in Classes XI and XII.
MUSIC
Music
and rhymes resound throughout the school campus. The early years learners take
their first baby steps into the world of knowledge through rhymes and songs.
They learn the language through phonetics and sound. As they grow older, they
are exposed to Indian and Western songs. Music is embedded into the
transdisciplinary curriculum. The children learn to express themselves by
composing their own rhymes and limericks even raps. The students compete to get
into the school choir which makes each event in school memorable through its
wonderous and thematic songs. Regular competitions at both intra-school and
inter-school see our students excel in this field. They also learn to
play the Tabla, Guitar, Synthesizer, Drums, Harmonium to which they have easy
access in school.
