Excerpts from the National Education Policy 2020
"Pedagogy must evolve to make education more experiential, holistic, integrated, inquiry-driven, discovery-oriented, learner-centered, discussion-based, flexible, and, of course, enjoyable".
"The arts form a major medium for imparting culture. The arts - besides strengthening cultural identity, awareness, and uplifting societies - are well known to enhance cognitive and creative abilities in individuals and increase individual happiness".
Drawbacks of Not Having Music Education in Schools
"A deficiency in music education in schools can lead to a significant gap in the holistic development of students." says our co-founder Tanuja Gomes.
Music education is known to stimulate cognitive functions and foster creativity. Excluding it from the curriculum may restrict students' cognitive and creative potential. As music is a powerful medium for imparting cultural awareness, the lack of music education may contribute to a gap in understanding and appreciating diverse cultures, hindering students' cultural awareness. Excluding music education denies students the opportunity to explore their creative, artistic, and cultural interests, limiting the development of their unique paths and resulting in an incomplete approach to students' overall development.
At FSM, we support NEP 2020 by including music in our curriculum. We believe it's crucial for well-rounded individuals and prepares them for a diverse future. we are extremely happy to note that all our thoughts, planning, and design are well in sync with the NEP 2020! Our curriculum and pedagogy take into account - experiential learning and holistic education and are very much centered around the learner. And, of course, everything rides on the back of one of the most important things we believe in - making the subject extremely enjoyable for your student!

What is the difference between the 'School Executes' and 'FSM Executes' programs?
'School Executes' program - the school teacher executes the program and we provide our Software for use by your school. We will also take the responsibility of training your teacher and providing basic support throughout the year. If you don’t have a music teacher, we can also help you in hiring one.
'FSM Executes' program - our FSM teachers execute the whole program at your school. We will look after the teaching, learning outcomes being achieved, end-of-year recitals, ensemble playing etc. and you need not worry about anything other than watching your students rock at the end of the year.
Will you provide musical instruments?
Yes we can provide instruments - either on rent or your school can purchase them. We provide a Music Lab setup option (at an added fee) where we will assist and set-up the same for you. This can definitely be done depending on your requirements and availability of space.
What can I expect to see when the year is completed?
Just as is done with all the other extracurricular activities for schools, at the end of the year, your music students too will showcase their learning through an annual recital. This is where, as an ensemble, they will perform the various songs they’ve learned. This can be presented in a manner of your choice - as an annual musical show that parents and faculty can be a part of or in a more informal setting, eg. in the classroom.
What other performance opportunities are offered?
Outside the Music Program that we offer, we also organize India’s largest school-level music band competition - BandIt (once a year). Students from schools across the country participate in this event and your school will get access to this too. Your students can also participate in our various jam sessions that we organise through the year at various venues (across various cities in India).
Can our early years teachers effectively conduct the Preschool program?
Absolutely! The curriculum is designed keeping in mind the kids school music program where we give a lot of importance to the bond shared by a child (at that age) with their teacher. Thus the teacher is given ample support to execute the program which includes exhaustive training sessions, detailed lesson plans with explicit instructions and a support hub where they can reach out anytime they have doubts or queries.
