The Alex Music Club was started in 2007 with the aim of introducing our children to various musical concepts like recognizing musical notation, learning musical scales, voice training and playing instruments aimed at learning musical rhythm.

We follow the syllabus of the TRINITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC, LONDON. Students are encouraged to appear for the official Trinity College exams, if they wish to do so.

The Club has grown from strength to strength getting a good response from students who not only thoroughly enjoy themselves, but also learn the finer points of music.

Children are made to visit places like the orphanages, old age homes, tribal rural villages, schools for the physically, mentally challenged children, schools for the blind. They interact with them and make them feel loved and wanted.

Children are taught to be observant and careful with respect to issues like cleanliness, saving water and electricity, composting to name a few.
