Good Morning Friends!

Thank you for coming. Today we are celebrating Silver Jubilee of our Music School. I still remember 25 years ago, we had rented a small place to impart music training to the first five students who were highly keen and passionate about learning. Today, we have branches at several places and happily a total of 5,000 students. The entire credit goes to the students who have constantly been an inspiration for all of us and the teachers who are equally passionate about training the students.

Music is a form of art and cultural activity. It is a way of living for many people; they breathe and live music at every passing moment and needless to mention they can sacrifice anything for achieving the pinnacle of success. Rhythm, dynamics, pitch are some of the common elements of music.

Music has a great significance in Hindu culture and mythology. Lord Krishna, the 8th incarnation of lord Vishnu is popularly known as ‘Murliwala’ (Flute possessor). Deity ‘Naarad’ always carries ‘Taanpura’ (a long-necked plucked instrument with string) and he would play it primarily to entice Lord Vishnu. Goddess Saraswati, the lord of education also holds Taanpura; the instrument is also a symbol of peace and harmony.

Music is one of the most precious gifts of God bestowed on mankind, through which people enjoy their leisure time and can alleviate their burdens of life. According to Hindu belief, music has evolved from a single note (sound) i.e. “Om” and the seven octaves (suras), such as ‘SA-RE-GA-MA-PA-DHA-NI’ which is the root for all ragas or forms of music.

Music in any form such as instrumental or vocal is enjoyed by everyone. It creates harmony amongst the living beings; even plants and animals understand and enjoy the beat, rhythm and harmony created by the musical sounds.

Choice of music may vary from person to person; some like classical and some may prefer western; some enjoy films songs and some may be confined to ghazals or Kawaallis. Each form of music has its own range of depth and the practitioners have to undergo rigid trainings and practices to master the art. People who are skilled in any form of music are called child of god. Music complements one’s life and it has the capacity to energize people in their days of distress.

Music is equally valuable in every religion; Ghazals and Kawwallis are the Muslim forms of Music, Pop, Jazz, etc are enjoyed in Western culture, Gurubani is sacred to Sikhs and Hindus practice different forms of Raagas such as Bhairav, Yaman, etc. Music teaches people to be compassionate and empathetic.

The good thing is that music is now travelling across borders and people are accepting each others’ culture and forms of music with great zeal.

Even though the preference for music may vary from person to person; but the sense of fulfillment remains the same in everyone who practices it or enjoys it. Music is the way to God provided it is practiced with heart. Thus, everyone must cultivate love for music because it is one of the forms of art that soothes you in distress and energizes you in your happiness. You must also be cautious that your love for music doesn’t cause any harm to others and yourself. You must not wear earphones while you are travelling or walking on the road because it is highly dangerous for everyone.

So keep the convenience of others in your mind while indulging in your favourite activity, secondly stay safe, nurture your love for music and never let it die down.

Thank You!

Dear Friends!

I have called upon this meeting to share an important piece of information with you all. Our company is going to open a music school in the town in association with the ABC Music School and we have decided to give music classes to the needy and talented people with absolutely no charges.

Music is one of the most crucial elements of our life as without harmony and melody of music this very life of ours would become dull and monotonous. Music has been an integral part of human life in all forms of culture since the primeval times as history which is now proved by the archaeological evidences has been found replete with musical instruments such as drum predates, bone flutes, etc. Music has a great impact on the development of human brains; research shows that active music creation helps in increased language development, improving school grades, better social behaviour, and developments in spatial-temporal reasoning, which is a cornerstone for problem solving skill. Music also helps develop child’s language skills, self-esteem, listening skills and the power of concentration.

Many doctors believe that music along with medication has the ability of treating people sooner. Music is an art form which is widely recognized, accepted and appreciated worldwide irrespective of the language barriers. It’s an important part of every culture and civilization. Even today music helps many people to earn their livelihoods; thus music also has a social value attached to it. The history of music is vast and interesting; even though the specific origin of this art form may not be known, but it was certainly introduced to human beings long ago.

In olden days, music was primarily a luxury, enjoyed by the royalties only. Some civilizations practiced music as a form of religious importance and people who were associated with music received respect in the society. Gradually, people started recognizing its value and it became popular worldwide. Music is enjoyed in instrumental and vocal forms. Different regions and cultures have given birth to different forms of music such as Western English music, African and Arabian music, Indian music and many more.

Even today, music plays a critical role in our lives. It’s a mean of recreation and expression, an art form that energizes the practitioners and listeners too; thus it is also a subject of pride for several societies. Playing any instrument such as Guitar, Harmonium, Drum, Tabla, Flute, Tanpura, etc are the most effective recreational activities as these not just help in utilizing the leisure time, but are also effective stress busters.

Several musicians and music bands across the world create, edit and promote music to gain appreciation and earn their livelihood. Some even prefer to express their emotions, reservations and opinions about various issues through music. Michael Jackson, the legendary singer is known to have voiced his views through music. People have great sentiments attached to music; thus it is of great significance to almost everyone.

Music would continue to remain one of the greatest forms of arts in years to come as various Indian societies worship music. Music is widely recognized and respected, but it is getting commercialized these days. Though, it’s a mean to earn livelihood for many and a lot of money is getting minted through music industry, but this should not impact the quality of music. The respect for music shouldn’t get lessened due to the personal greed of some people.

Thank You!

Good Morning Respected Principal, Respected Teachers and My Dear Students!

I am Arsha and this is my first day in this school because I am appointed as your music teacher. I am feeling very obliged in being a part of such a great school. As this is my first day as a music teacher, I would like to begin it by saying a few words on music.

Let me begin with the definition of music! Music is a melody or a vibe created by organizing of pitch, rhythm and sounds made by using musical instruments and sometimes singing. Music is an integral or may be an essential part of everyone’s life. Everybody in this world directly or indirectly is connected with the music even animals also. Somewhere in this busy world, music helps us in retaining our nervous system’s peace. Music has some of the benefits which are helpful in treating physical or other disorders like depression etc. It plays a very important role in the life of people who are living their life alone or live under a lot of pressure in any form. When we listen to music, It helps us in releasing stress from our mind as well as from our body.

Music is quite similar to yoga. It helps our body in maintaining hormonal balance, relaxes us physically as well as mentally and keeps us happy. It helps us preventing obesity and from gaining extra weight. In today’s hectic, selfish and crowded world, music helps us in keeping our mind relaxed during hard and difficult times and helps us in preventing anger. It also helps in removing negative energy and thoughts from our body and mind.

In my life, I realized that music is that one thing that can make you happy even if you are alone or in difficult situation because we can listen to it anytime and it does not matter if it is day or night. We can say that music is a meditation because it can also help in increasing concentration power. We can also choose music on the basis of our present situation and we often do this. We can have pop music, opera, sad or slow music etc. In India and as well as in the world, mostly every religion has their own kind of music that represents their religion or culture. As music has many varieties thus it is also used for communicating messages or feelings. Through listening traditional or spiritual music, one can gain soul peace and the connection with the God. It helps in saving and memorizing good moments of our life in the mind. It is a kind of a lifeline that helps in gaining spiritual peace and inspiration for living the life to the fullest and of course positively.

On this note, I would like to conclude my speech and extend special thanks to our principal ma’am and management committee for providing me this opportunity of becoming a part of this school.

Thank you and I wish you all a great day ahead!

A Very Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

As we all know that today we have gathered here for a very special occasion. Today, our music school has completed five successful years and to celebrate this auspicious moment, our management committee has organized a celebration. As a music teacher, I have got this opportunity to host this event and before this event begins, I would like to say a few words on music.

As a music teacher, I know the importance of music in my life. It is a kind of blessing that god has given me because it helps me to keep calm in difficult situations and conquer them. For me, music is my energy and it is as important as oxygen. It keeps me healthy physically and mentally both. It will be true to say that I cannot imagine my life without music. Music is a kind of medicine that had helped me to come out of my problems since I was a child. During my childhood, I was so shy that I was not able to talk my cousins. I was considered as a book worm by my entire family because of my nature and behaviour towards them. One day, my mom took me to a music school where I found my inner talent that is music. That music school changed my entire life. Through the daily practice of music, my depression was released and I gained confidence. Music truly acted as a medicine for me. I felt more focused and energized than before.

In this school, we also focuses on using music as a medicine for those children who are going through these several problems like depression, obesity etc. We have admitted many students who are suffering from these problems physically or mentally and in few classes we have seen positive results. Music helps in maintaining body balance physically as well as mentally. It helps in creating a feeling of joy in mind that helps in relaxation of nervous system. Music can be used as a tool for increasing concentration power also. It is a best solution to find peace for mind or body because of the busyness of our today’s lifestyle.

Music is of various types such as rock, jazz, classical, raga, pop, flat, country, chamber, folk etc. We can choose any kind of music that suits to our taste or situation. According to me, the effect of music on every person is different from each other. It is way more than just listening or playing. It is way by which everyone is connected with each other in this hectic world. It helps you to get out of the problems that are going on in your life. Listening music gives an amazing feeling of joy and happiness that helps in connecting our body with the soul.

On this note, I would like to conclude my speech and extend special thanks to all of you for joining us today on this celebration and the celebration is delighted.

Thank you!

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Fellow Students – Warm Greetings to one and all!

I, Rakesh Jha from Class-X (A), would like to address a very peculiar yet interesting topic in today’s speech ceremony which you wouldn’t get bored of listening and can come up with your own understanding of it. Dear students it’s nothing but the topic called Music. Before I delve deeper into this topic, I first would like to ask what is music for you? Well, technically speaking music is defined as the art of mixing tones in such a way which pleases our ears. Isn’t it? It may also imply that sounds are so combined that it leaves a pleasant impression on our minds.

However, you cannot term every sound as music and it is only when different sounds are combined to produce melody and harmony to please our ears can it be called as music. Music helps you experience a sublime feeling and become one with your God in your mind. In fact, it is a refreshing and refining distraction.

Following are the benefits that music gives you:

  • Music can make a boring, monotonous life exciting;
  • Emotional song can calm down your anger;
  • It can arise the feelings of sympathy and love;
  • Music can fill some excitement in your life and make your heart dance with joy;
  • If it’s a patriotic song, it awakens love for one’s own country;
  • Some popular musical pieces are counted among the biggest achievements in human history;
  • The stately and solemn music fills the worshippers with reverence and awe and the sense of the heavenly presence.

Everyone is aware how the Orpheus song, who was a great musician in the ancient Greece, proved entrancing to trees, stones and flood. In fact, the Tansen song at the court of Akbar weaned a great power so much so that it could bring a heavy downpour and kindle the flame. Music cannot only evoke different feelings, but also calms down the wearied and worried soul. A musical instrument can be played to distract your mind from the peer pressure of the daily lives and alternatively you can tune into a song depending on your choice or mood. Either way, music improves our lives in different ways possible.

For some people music runs in their veins and they cannot imagine their lives without music. The power of great music is such that it can make everyone dance to its tune. Music is also a language as through this the artists are able to communicate their state of mind and stirs up the feelings of its listeners. It heals our soul and relaxes our brain. It is a potent medicine for a dull and monotonous life as it revitalizes one’s life and makes it vibrant.

Even there are various music concerts held and people go crazy over it. The music industry makes a lot of money and is greatly flourishing. So if any one of you has a keen interest in music then you must pursue it and hone your skills for you never know what future may have in store for you.

Thank You!

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and our Dear Students – I welcome you all to the 21st annual celebration of our music academy!

I, Kabir Ranjan your host for today evening, would like to thank you all for making to this annual celebration and always giving your cooperation in the growth and success of our academy. I know music is close to our hearts and we cannot imagine our existence without it so much so that we are putting in all our efforts to spread the virus of music everywhere. And to the least of my surprise, I am seeing more and more people joining hands with us and the number of students developing interest in music is also increasing.

Now we stand as proud teachers of so many students who with their exceptional talent in singing and playing musical instruments are taking the world by storm and are slowly and gradually expanding their horizons. So let’s know a little more about music and what defines music.

Music in general is called a sound that follows a certain rhythm or harmony of musical notes in order to produce such sound that conveys the emotions of a person playing it and to evoke the same feelings in others. Just like dance involves a physical movement in order to express one’s sense of joy or passionate feelings through various dance forms, such as break dance or ballet, music also likewise involves a movement of musical notes and harmony of sound which when combined produce the desired result and lifts one’s soul from the humdrum of the daily life.

Music is usually seen to hold a sweeping influence over the life of many people and consists of different forms of expression. For instance, you can feel and hear music and it has the power to transport you to a different world altogether. It can make you feel happy and good about yourself. There are different forms of music – from classical to contemporary to western pop music, etc. Music in a way also helps in keeping the tradition alive. Don’t we see in many Indian families parents singing the same song for their children while putting them to bed that they used to hear from their own parents when they were small?

Believe it or not, but music also has the ability to save the lives of people. People who suffer from depression can find comfort in listening to the singers, songs or bands. I am sure everyone, including myself must have experienced something like this at one given time or the other. I really believe that music has the ability to change or influence a person’s mood or mind. It is a universal language and helps in uniting people. In fact, if I were to talk about it from my personal experience, I would say that I share a deep connection with music and the connection became deeper when I went to attend one festival in France known as “Saint Chartier”. People from across the globe go there every year to play music, sing and dance with each other.

Music is in my blood and I firmly believe that it has great therapeutic ability. This is all I have to say!

Thank You!
