Indian IDOL Academy Overview

Curriculum

The approach to curriculum is divided into 3 sections, gyan- focused on knowledge, kaushal- focused on skills, sadhana- focused on practice. Its focus reflects the training that contestants of the Idol show receive. A quick review of the curriculum makes it clear: Indian Idol Academy is not an ordinary program, but takes the student several leaps forward so they can learn what an aspiring professional singer learns in the very best training.

"Gyan" helps you understand Music orientation & basics. It includes Core technical ability combined with emotion; Pronunciation & articulation; Stage movement; Clothes and make-up, how the voice works; and how to practice to improve

"Kaushal" focuses on specific skills a singer and performer needs to perform their best: Art of performance; Stage presence; Connecting with an audience; Communication & presentation skills; Personal grooming & confidence; Thinking outside-the-box to surprise an audience; Emotional intelligence and its impact in singing and performing; and Listening skills – how to hear music more keenly

"Sadhana" focuses on the specific practices that develop a singer’s talent: Breathing techniques for vocal strength and control; Individual stylization; Selecting songs that best suit your voice; Breaking down and working through a song; Physical workout regime to enhance voice and body language; Team performance; Mock-band; Individual performance –Karaoke; Microphone techniques; Lyrics writing & composition; Following a prescribed diet – what to eat/drink – not eat/drink

Approach

Indian Idol Academy uses the OmniDEL™ system of learning. This path-breaking approach—developed by visionary educationist shri sourabh J. sarkar—engages the learner in ways that no other system of education does, and ensures an unprecedented level of effectiveness and impact.

We can talk about how this works and the unique approach of OmniDEL™ that engages the physical, pranic, mental and spiritual aspects of a learner in the act of deep learning, and creates the kind of learning experiences that a gifted teacher inspires - but the truth is, you have to experience it to really see why brand idol has chosen this approach. Our Festival of Music provides you an easy and inexpensive way to see how this works. We are betting your child leaves this Learning Festival even more in love with singing, and has a dozen things to tell you he/ she they learned.
