Inculcating real passion for the art form in the kids - do what you love, love what you do, be
the real you - will be our focus for 2011. Given the situation of the kids we deal with, they
often have no parents to drive them or guide the & their minders giving divided attention to
so many children, led us to think about the 3 hours per week that each child spends with us.
This 3-hours would be the only time to impact them & internalise our motivation & instill
that passion that would remain ignited for as long as they live!
EXPOSURE that turns into EXPECTATION to be met with fervour which then expresses into
EXHIBITION! When you expose a child to the world of opportunities, the possibilities of life,
their world of creativity will open up with such resoluteness that the sky becomes their limit.
We raise the bar & reinforce the commitment we have in their ability. When we put them in
the spotlight, they have nowhere to escape but to perform. What follows is the validation
that comes in the form of appreciation & applause. This gives them the affirmation to carry
on to the next level.
Do drop us a line to see where & how we can fit you into our plans to bring 2011 to the
many kids who will take this year to perform to their level best.
Yours truly,

Annual Teachers’ Getaway in Kampar, Perak
It was a time for bonding as the teachers at StART ventured beyond the compound of the academy
into the wild for a 3 days/2 nights of planning & evaluating the year for the year ahead. They joined
Leroy, who was once a guitar teacher at StART, now the General Manager at Grand Kampar Hotel, to
de-stress over an audacious attempt at caving!
Weaving through the huge stalactites & stalagmites, every teacher had to crawl through frigid cold
waters of the river & guano (bat droppings)! Our guitar/bass teacher, Vincent Ramesh, overcame his
paranoia of heights & of water! There was much input of ideas from all present after getting dunked &
plunked into such situations!
