The organization was establish in 2018 formally as an institute. We have been teaching children Bengali music and been involved with the community in Calgary since 2007.
Why ‘Gaaner Bhuban’ ( Bengali Music) is the best choice for music lesson ?
With the advancement of new technology and innovation, it’s become a world children are part of the tech generation. They are constantly plugged in to a hyper connected world, where devices such as phones, laptop and tablets have become an extension of themselves. The increase in screen-time is difficult to control because they want to be on top of new inventions, and this is their way of communicating in current times. At the same time it’s very important to find a balance and disconnect so that children can experience and understand the physical world. In addition, these children only have a faint connection to their cultural roots, for they are being raised in a country with different traditions, culture, customs and language. Parents are left feeling as if they don’t have a common ground with their children. Many are disheartened at not being able impart the Bangladeshi culture, or grow a connection within the next generation. Despite all of these barriers, many parents are always looking for a venue by which they can disconnect the next generation from a tech heavy world for a little while, and connect the children to their roots and culture, building an appreciation for the history and feelings that reside within our love for Bangladesh.
‘Gaaner Bhuban’ Music and Cultural Institute of Calgary” is a place where children from age of three and up learn to sing in the Bengali language and tune, connecting with the culture in an unique way. We are announcing with much joy, that Ganner Bhuban has been transformed with a new look and idea. We are not only teaching how to sing in Bangla, but incorporating correct practices of music as well as teaching the basic background of the language and field.
‘Gaanner Bhuban’ started as a means to connect the new generation to their cultural roots, so that feelings of appreciation and connection can grow within our children. That remains our main objective and continues to be part of our goal every step of the way. Songs are a medium that can have a positive effect on even the smallest of children. Songs are a language that we can all understand, by which we can all connect, and that is what ‘Gaaner Bhuban’ hopes to achieve.
We continue to foster a positive environment by providing enriching music programs for the leaders of tomorrow. Contact our location today to get started!
