8 Grade System

The laudable efforts of Bridge Academy befit its name in connecting nukes and corners, to widely spread the eternal bliss of music everywhere. I wish them tremendous growth year after year to scale great heights. I applaud the 8 Grade Syllabus of Bridge Academy as it comprises of compositions of a combination of composers without a biased focus on specific language or style.

It is a great delight seeing young girls performing fabulously. Girl children need to be nurtured and well groomed in life as they possess an important role in future. I urge them to learn and practice music and dance well and lead a great life. The 8 Grade Syllabus designed by Bridge Academy provides a schematic common platform for all students, urban or rural, to intensively learn music and dance irrespective of caste, creed or religion.

Even as music has been taught on almost one to one fashion, starting from Gurukulam pattern to assorted private tuition classes today, it has been a long cherished wish of senior musicians like me that music should be taught in a schematic way over a wide band of talented students which would only mean taking music to the lower rungs of society to relish its real worth. I am, indeed, happy that Bridge Academy has brought it to reality through its 8 Grade syllabus for music and dance.

The success of the Kalai Sangamam is fittingly depicted by the relentless long stay of the huge audience here. A diamond in the crown of the day's event was the flawless portray of Bharathiyar's Paanchali Sapatham in ethnic folk form manifested in enchanting blend of music and dance.

According to our mythology, Ashwametha Yagna was carried out by ancient Indian kings to prove their imperial sovereignty. As much as a successful Ashwametha Yagna proclaims the inequitable strength of the monarch, the massive celebration of Kalai Sangamam has demonstrated the strength of Bridge Academy today. Bridge Academy has created a distinct banner for itself duly inducing a craving among youngsters to enroll, learn and get certified by Bridge Academy in music and fine arts.

Carnatic music comprises of all technicalities which are basic for all forms of music. If it is learnt in an orderly manner, nothing more is required for excellence in any form of music including nurturing voice culture. No greatness can be achieved in music if it is not learnt in a systematic procedure. Bridge academy has achieved structuring this kind of a systematic learning.
