ART AS HOBBY FOR STUDENTS

Students need to engage in activity other than just surfing the net or playing video games.A wise parent helps nurture any inherent talent that the child possesses by providing a good coach/tutor and making sure a timetable is set for the activity/activities each week.I met the father of an engineering student yesterday who told me that he had just bought his son an electric guitar simply because he played the regular guitar well and was brilliant in studies.Now, he was the apple of his father's eye playing the guitar for the youth group at church.
Students perform well at academics when given the chance to engage in hobbies and creative pursuits and their talents are showcased.A well rounded personality is developed when they take up sports,literary pursuits,art,music,or simply develop a reading habit.Schools encourage such extra curricular activities,but it takes a parents keen eye to make sure that the particular activity that their child is extremely interested in pursuing, should be taken to higher levels with extra coaching.
A word of caution,here to parents who are overindulgent! Some parents want to engage their children the whole afterhours at school with activities ranging from swimming and music lessons to yoga and drama.And their argument is that they never got the chance to learn and that they want to provide the best for their children.But,the child only develops fatigue and a disinterest in everything including studies.It is imperative that a couple of activities should be chosen which the child is passionate about and not just because his friends are engaged in it.

MUSIC FOR THE STUDENT

My nephew goes to a music class for 45 minutes every week with his father in Finland. Nothing new, you might say. But he is only 7 months old! And the room will be full of babies and parents, I was told. The music teacher plays the piano and sings a few rhymes and these babies either look at each other or make up their own songs babbling away.
Indian schools have an hour per week at least for music lesson. Western or Indian classical, being their choice. After school, a few students enroll for music and dance lessons. Some girls join the veena or flute, boys go for harmonium or tabla if it is Indian. Some opt for Classical singing.
Listening to and making music, especially classical, makes a student peaceful and refreshed. He quickly grasps his studies, and has a positive approach to life itself.
On the other hand, researchers say that one who listens to heavy metal,rock, hip hop,are restless when they have to study. Arrogance is part of their personality. Pop and jazz are more mild in comparison.
Classical singing according to one singer of repute, utilizes breathing rhythms which aid in one having good health and radiating a youthful and happy personality.
