Music is compulsory in the first seven years of the pupil's life, after which, it is offered as an optional subject. The school has its own orchestra and its own junior and senior choir. All the children take part in group singing which includes regional songs, inter-faith prayers and chanting of Sanskrit hymns and shlokas. Instrumental music forms an integral part of the music curriculum and children are encouraged to take part in choral music.
Indian and Western classical music is played in the foyer every morning to encourage students to develop an ear for music. The morning assembly begins with prayers followed by an invocation song. Our music teachers make it a point to teach songs from different provinces of India and also some international favourites, which are sung during festivals and anniversaries. A special room has been created for Western Music and children play a variety of stringed and percussion instruments. Piano lessons are also offered. The school has its own band.
