Advanced Music Theory Classes in Mangaluru
A long felt need of Mangaluru region, namely higher form of theory in Music like harmony, modulation regulation etc., was realized with the systematic classes introduced here at Carmel Hill, Mangaluru, under the auspices of “Carmel Kala Academy”. Joel Pereira the instructor while inaugurating the course said that, “the need of the hour is to learn how to compose systematically. Many of our musician’s have studied the basics but have not ventured into the sophisticated aspects of theory of Music, may be due to lack of interest or lack of instructors or opportunities. Though a few classes were offered many years

ago in Sandesha and elsewhere, there were no takers as this course implies lot of hard work and perseverance. Here is a golden opportunity to the advanced learners to become professional composers” he said. Fr. Wilfred thanked Fr. Alwyn Sequeira who worked behind this course and Joel Pereira for accepting to guide the budding composers. Fr. Ronald D Souza, the Councilor in charge of Formation and chief guest of inaugural ceremony appreciated the initiative of the community to organize such a course and wished all the students the best by offering them a rose and requested them to persevere till the end. Bro. Aaron Babusha compered the program. It was announced that the first

module consists of ten classes of two hours each and will run on every Thursday between 6 to 8pm and those qualified will be admitted to the second module which will commence after June 2020. Meanwhile in April, May a summer course in Western Vocals and Violin have been envisaged and those interested were requested to get in touch with Fr. Alwyn Sequeira for further details.
