MusicArt Society is a registered non-profit organization that provides music education to young children with limited financial means.
Through its educational programmes it also inculcates and spreads awareness about various social evils facing the world today.
Child Rights & Exploitation
In this regard, it has been providing music education to the children living in various organizations that are catering for the under priviliged children around Kathmandu along with other local children from its community.
Our vision is to nurture a community where children from the underprivileged society turn out to be healthy and honest citizens, able to contribute to the nation by contributing to the society.
Our mission is to provide quality music education to these children, so that, in future, they can depend on their musical skills to eke out their living and also serve the society especially by spreading the consciousness about the risks the young faces.
Providing proper music education by following a curriculum.
Organizing programs so that the children could have a platform to expose their talents and build their confidence and personality.
Provide the children with proper talk shows and discussion sessions about child related issues.
Our goal is to create the very first Children Orchestra Group in Nepal.
Music is a universal language. It is a form of art and a form of expression loved by all and mastered by some. Music stimulates the growth of brain structures and connects many activated brain areas.
Research reveals that playing a musical instrument can help young people become better students and better citizens.
The scenario of music education is not favourable in Nepal as there is no widely accepted music curriculum or set of national standards for music teaching in the country. Music education for grade schools is not supported by the government, in any practical way and though some of the private schools do offer extra-curricular music, many do not.
Taking the initiative for the first time in Nepal, MusicArt Society, has brought music education to the underprivileged children in various institutions along with other children from its community who cannot afford to pay for music education.
MusicArt Society, a team of enthusiasts, aims to provide the children with quality music education, so that, in future, if nothing else, they can depend on their musical skills to eke out their living.
Learning music for the children usually comes either as a privilege or as extracurricular activities in schools. The kids who who attend institutions for the underprivileged or such centers, however, cannot even imagine getting such facilities. Not only these, but there might be hundreds of those children who want to learn music but are bounded by their social and financial limitations. Hence, the teachers from MusicArt Society, inspired by their interest in learning music, have been giving them training on music without any charges.
Understanding their condition and the situation they are in, MusicArt Society has made an attempt to try and fulfill their musical aspirations, teaching them to play some musical instruments along with providing vocal trainings despite of the place whether it is under a tree or the places they live in.
MusicArt Societyは認可の非営利団体です。 限られた財政手段で、幼い子供たちに音楽教育を提供し、その教育プログラムを通じ、今日の世界が直面している様々な社会悪についての問題意識を広げます。
児童の権利&搾取
カトマンズのいろんなコミュニティから、また他の地域の子どもたち、さまざまな環境に住む恵まれない子供たちのために音楽教育を提供してきました。
私たちのビジョンは、恵まれない地域にいる子どもたちを教育し、社会に貢献することで、健康的で正直な国に貢献出来る市民に育成することです。
私たちの使命は、将来的に、子供達が音楽的な素養を身につけ、貧しい生活から自立できるように、質の高い音楽教育を提供することです。そして特に若者のリスクがなくなるように意識を広めることによって社会に貢献することです。
カリキュラムに従うことによって適切な音楽教育を提供します。 子供達が才能を発揮し、人格を形成し、自信を持って生きることが出来るように、導くことです。
また子供の権利や問題についての番組や討論会に子供達を派遣することも出来ます。
私たちの目標は、ネパールで最初の子どもオーケストラ·グループを結成することです。
音楽は普遍的な言語です。それは芸術の一形式で、表現力豊かですべての人に愛されています。音楽が脳構造の成長を刺激し、活性化することは明白なのです。
また、楽器を演奏することは、若者がより良い学生やより良い市民になる手助けになることが明らかです。
音楽教育の概念はネパールではあまり好ましく思われておらず、また広く受け入れられておらず、国立の学校では教育概念がありません。私立の学校でも幾ばくか音楽教育がなされていますが、それもあまり多くはないのが現状です。
私達はネパールで初めて音楽教育の主導権を握り、音楽へ費用を払うことが出来ない貧しい子供達に音楽教育をいたします。
MusicArt Societyという愛好家のチームが、将来的には、音楽的素養によって、生活費を稼ぐことが出来るほどの、質の高い音楽教育を持つ子どもを提供することを目指しています。
子供にとって音楽を学ぶことは、通常は特権としてあり、またあるいは学校での課外活動のいずれかでしか学ぶことができませんと。しかしながら貧しい環境にいる恵まれない子供たちは、このような音楽的な技術を取得することなどとても想像できません。
このように、音楽を学びたいが、その社会的、財政の制約によって制限されている子供たちが何百万人いるかわかりません。そこで、音楽を学ぶことに関心がある子供達に、MusicArt Societyの教師たちは、無料で音楽教育をしてきました。子供達の状態や、彼らが住んでいる状況を理解し、MusicArt Societyは、木の下やどんな場所でも、楽器や歌のレッスンをし、彼らの音楽的な願望を満たすための試みを行っています。
