•KINESIS -  SENIOR Programme:- is for children above the age of 10 years. As these students show more focus/ concentration and the zeal to progress, the emphasis is on serious tennis drills and games.

Both the Junior and Senior categories enroll as Beginners and then graduate to the Intermediate level and then to the Advanced programme. Their progress is based on periodic reviews and structured evaluations, by our coaches. To progress from Beginner to Intermediate may take about 8 – 10 months of continuous training and about one year from Intermediate to Advanced. Progress will also depend on the physical and mental skills/ ability of the child and the regularity of training.

At Kinesis, it is recommended that Juniors and Seniors in the Beginner category play a minimum of 4 hours/ week and Intermediates play an average of 6 hours/week. Students in the Advanced programme should try and play the maximum possible hours, upto a limit of 12 hours/week. At Kinesis, a tennis-specific cross-training basketball programme has been developed with the assistance of R. Rajan, former international basket ball player and coach. Rajan has the rare achievement of captaining the Indian team for 4 years and representing the national team for 14 consecutive years.


KINESIS - MENTAL TENNIS
What do Roger Federer, Venus Williams , Rafeal Nadal, and Maria Sharapova have in common? Obviously all of them have excelled in tennis and have won many championships but what separates these champions from many other talented tennis players? A key difference is that these great players possess tremendous mental skills along with their tennis talent and physical skills. They have developed these mental skills through continuous training.

Kinesis has a qualified Sports Psychology team that is keen to make’ Mental Tennis’ a part of every ADVANCED players tennis training.

INDIRANAGAR SANGEETHA SABHA
The Manager,
Tel : 65711214
E-Mail : info@isangeethsabha.com

Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha is situated in Indiranagar, Bangalore, popularly known as the 'Garden City' of India. Being the capital of Karnataka state, Bangalore has a rich cultural tradition that has sustained the age-old art of Music and Dance. Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha was formed with the main objective of carrying forward this rich cultural heritage and popularising it among the young and old.

Since its inauguration in July 2004 by the President of India, during the course of which he forcefully urged Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha to become a ’Centre for Excellence’, ‘Purandara Bhavana’, the Centre of the Sabha, has indeed come a long way.

A Music and Dance School for Indiranagar: Nurturing the cultural values among the young generation started running music classes in Carnatic Vocal and Veena as well as in 'Sugam Sangeeth' and Devaranamas. The idea was to give structured education in classical music at affordable fees to the younger genegration and besides giving an appreciation-cum-practice course, to enable the interested students to take the examinations conducted by the Karnataka Secondary Education Board. The school was also intended to help revive waning interest in classical music among the public.

A matter of immense satisfaction has been the response from the community around us towards the running of our Music and Dance School which, from a modest beginning with about thirty students in 2004, in 2007 has on its rolls over 400 students! A number of dedicated teachers, who are performers in their own right, constitute the faculty of the School. Sabha's School for Performing Arts. Office hours 10.00am to 1.00pm & 3.00pm to 8.00pm
Weekly Holiday for the office is on Thursdays.
Tel : 65711214.

The school(Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha) curriculam has been augmented and a library is under development. The disciplines in which instruction is offered have been expanded and now cover:

  Vocal (Carnatic) - Weekdays and Weekends
  Vocal (Hindustani )
  Veena
  Violin - Weekdays & Weekends
  Keyboard (Carnatic)
  Flute
  Sitar
  Tabla
  Mrudangam
  Dance (Bharathnatyam)

Experienced teachers take these classes on specified days of the week. The music and dance school with a very reasonable fee structure has over 260 students on its rolls, including a few challenged students. The building now resonates with musical activity. Encouraged by the response from the public, the Sabha is contemplating starting classes shortly in the mornings for housewives desirous of learning classical vocal or Sugama Sngeeth, both in Carnatic and Hindustani styles.

BALAVIHAR, CHINMAYA MISSION, C M H Road, Indiranagar, Bangalore
Love is to the human heart what sunshine is to the flowers." Being the visionary that he was, Swami Chinmayananda saw that in the hi-tech urban civilization both sunshine and love would be hard to come by. Anticipating this need, he started the Balavihars. A group of 10 to 25 children meet at a certain place on a weekly basis and the children and the sevaks/sevikas learn the art of living in love, the Hindu way. The idea is to provide an environment where the personality of the child blossoms in a spontaneous way. Good conduct, emotional refinement, intellectual finesse and spiritual awareness are developed by mature sevaks through fun and play, and through stories and bhajans. Sometimes it is through tears, but more often through smiles; sometimes through strictness, but mostly by persuasion. The children are encouraged to be responsible, alert and sensitive members of society. Swamiji believed that just as the strength of a wall depended on the quality of each brick, so too, the health of a society depended on the individuals. If the individuals are healthy, the society is healthy. His strategy for building a new society was to "Catch 'em young."
