After facing the uncomfortable hot humid weather, the
chaotic traffic system with horns being used excessively and a lot
constructions going around the city, I have finally arrived to my accommodation
with a warm welcome. There are flowers being given to me, and the teachers and the head of the accommodation showed me around the guest house, the transportation, the school and making sure
everything is alright, and this has definitely helped me to settle in very
well.
Musee Musical is one of the oldest music schools in Chennai
with over 150 years of history. There are shops that sell all kind of
instruments and music books and CD, etc. Besides from the shop, students attend
lessons from the teacher on a one to one basis and the school teaches various
instruments from piano, violin, guitar, to vocal, drum, keyboard and so on. It has been
delightful to teach the children individually as I have the opportunities to bond with them as well as providing advices and assistances that enable
them to work towards their goal specifically. Lessons have started already and I shall update
you soon with a few observations that I have noticed during these past days.
Oh and a few things I found rather unusual, the people and students have been shaking
their heads for yes and it does take some time to get used to. Also, the food
is indeed challenging, curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there is no
such thing as “not spicy” in Chennai!
Anyway, I’m heading off to a bar soon with some friends to
watch the Wimbledon final and it should be really good!
Until next time!
