The GIIS-Shekhar Ravjiani School of Music will have a focused curriculum with Shekhar’s expertise and GIIS’ state-of-the-art infrastructure and data analytics technology.
“I believe that learning is a continuous process and my thinking perfectly resonates with the vision and philosophy of GIIS, of providing holistic education and focusing on value-based learning beyond academics”, says Shekhar.
A first of its kind collaboration between a global education institution and an Indian musician, the focused program will be accessible to over 15,000 students across GIIS’ 21 campuses across the globe.
“I have already started working with students from Japan, Abu Dhabi, India, Malaysia and Singapore over these last few months,” says Shekhar.
In future, some workshops on music could also be available to non-GIIS students within the GIIS campuses worldwide.
GIIS
GIIS’ signature educational framework of Nine Gems is aimed at fostering all-round character development in students through an integrated, holistic approach to learning.
Performing Arts is one of the major components among these nine unique values that GIIS emphasizes on, to make its students, global citizens.
The music school's program would nurture and mentor upcoming talent in the field of music within the school’s curriculum which takes a holistic approach towards education.
Atul Temurnikar, Co-Founder & Chairman of GIIS, says, “We always strive to provide our students the best education through a holistic educational framework by adopting the best industry practices through our well-designed personalized modules”.
GIIS has Smart Campuses around the world which use savvy technology and have the latest infrastructure to impart education that is relevant for the 21st century. Its dedicated music studios will be of great benefit to the GIIS – Shekhar Ravjiani school of music.
The school uses data to track and measure student performances in all nine areas of excellence, and the music school curriculum will benefit from this technology as well. Data collected on student performance over the course of the curriculum will help them improve their style and technique.
"The GIIS – Shekhar Ravjiani School of Music is taking holistic learning a step further and we are happy to provide this unique platform where students can continuously learn and become renowned artists of tomorrow,” Termunikar says.
