Courtesy goes to, Brett Lee famous Australian cricketer, who is been
coming down to India and for over 20 years and has been deeply touched
by the people and their hospitality.
“The
foundation was launched in 2011, with a focus on setting up Music
Centres in Slums and NGOs so that underprivileged children could have
the opportunity to learn music says Emily Harrison, the executive
director and Founder of Innovaid Advisor service. Currently Foundation
run 4 Mewsic Centres (3 in Mumbai – Govandi, Dharavi & Mankhurd and
one in Lucknow, along with a mobile Mewsic Centre/Bus in Jaipur) Each
centre reaches out to 50–75 children. She also mentioned that they are
in the process of opening 3 new centres in Mumbai.
According
to Emily “Mewsic India foundation has therapy programmes like Healing,
Education and Empowering. Children enrolled are often child labourers,
orphans, rag pickers and slum dwellers. These kids are needy and have
no other opportunity to learn or educated about music. We have also
been pioneering Music Therapy with cancer patients at St Jude’s in Parel
and have had music therapists from Australia providing daily Therapy to
these patients and their families,
International
research validates the impact of music therapy in reducing pain,
helping with anxiety, expressing one’s self and overall wellbeing.
During
our visit to the Ngo, while discussing with children and their parents,
we realised that the children are empowered and confident through the
program. Parents stated that their kids perform in front of crowds
regularly and many have even been on TV. This does wonders for their
confidence and personal development.
14
year old, Vijay Kamble had no interest in studies and ended up being a
school dropout. He joined Mewsic India two years back with the dance
program and managed to reach the third round of Dance India Dance.
“Mewsic India foundation has really helped our child to concentrate on
his capabilities of dance but also on his education”, said Vijay’s
parents smilingly.
“Dance inspires me to do better in life and one day I want to be like my dance tutor” says Vijay Kamble.
Rahul,
12 year old boy learning guitar at the Mewsic Center in Govandi says,
“My tutor is my Idol and I aspire to be a musician and perform on a big
stage.” His Mewsic tutor mentioned that “Rahul doesn’t leave his guitar
from the moment he enters the centre. Either he keeps practicing the
songs taught to him or he keeps experimenting different styles of
playing.”
When
asked to his parents about the improvement, Sangeeta, Rahul’s mother
states “He was an introvert and would spoke less and shied away, but
after joining the foundation he has become very confident and more
communicative”.
To
know more about the work of the foundation we had some discussion with
the teachers of Mewsic, One of the tutor said, ‘their students have
weekly lessons at the Mewsic Centre and then also rehearse up to 6 days a
week’. A primary outcome is that the kids are engaged in a positive
activity in a nurturing environment – ensuring they are kept off the
streets and away from undesirable activity. Between the ages of 8-16
children are vulnerable to getting involved in the wrong company, drugs
and crimes. Mewsic foundation helps them learn, develop and grow in a
positive way.
Teacher
also gave an example of a student who used to regularly ‘bunk’ school
and get up to mischief in Dharavi with his ‘mates’ . He was going down a
dangerous path in life where he could get caught up in petty crime and
drugs. Eventually he was enrolled into the foundation and He discovered a
passion for the keyboard.
