For children , the curriculum is especially crafted keeping in mind each child's interest, temperament & skill level. Again the focus is to make the musical journey a positive fun experience that leaves a lasting impression & brings out the best in each student. Parents have thanked Dipali Singh for positive personality changes in their children after these sessions. Kids enjoy these sessions so much that there have been instances of kids sacrificing their playdates to attend class!
For Adults too the curriculum is customized to learn music in a warm, positive, fun learning environment & experience the joy of re-discovering oneself through VOICE. Students have described these sessions as "Cathartic", "meditative" & " the best day of the week".
To start with, group sessions of no more than 2 students at a time are available. DSVS focusses on the need to cater to specific needs of each student. Larger groups do not allow for that and often the potential of the individual is left unexploited. "Personal attention " is the key. Once the student gets to learn the basics and reaches an advanced level where he can only benefit from a group session then groups of similar skill level students are created and sessions are conducted accordingly.
Each Session is for a duration of 1 hour. Various Training tools are employed during the session keeping in mind individual requirements. The focus is always on YOU, YOUR specific needs and songs that YOU like. |
"Ms. Dipali Singh taught my children, Rajkumari Durgeshwari and Rajkumar Shivendra from 1999 till 2002, she also taught at the Kutlehar Institute of Protocol and Manners, Chandigarh, India and conducted two charity shows, in 1999 and 2001 at the Palace at Kutlehar, Himachal Pradesh, India and mesmerized the audience. Her unique teaching style, experience & spectrum of knowledge has greatly benefited all the children of the school and my children in particular.
