Joining the Sapta Swaras

“Culture helps to ensure people's survival, and music helps in working towards that goal by bringing people together.”

Why JTSS?

Culture is one of the four pillars on which JTD stands strong as an organization. We give utmost importance to following a well-defined set of values and ethics, and would like to instigate the same onto the future generations. And thus came JTSS, a program focused on empowering students through the learning and practice of Karnataka Sangeetham (commonly known as Carnatic Music ) which not only manifests ancestral wisdom and Ancient Indian Philosophies but also teaches the ways of living with the qualities of acceptance, self-expression, perseverance, humility and peace.

Hence, JTD’s Joining The Sapta Swaras is a humble effort to provide the children of rural areas* with the opportunity to learn this ethereal and eternal art form that not only helps them develop a spiritual outlook but also improves auditory skills, focus and memory, mathematical and vocal skills, and overall mental health by possessing therapeutic and meditative benefits.
