Bharatiy worship Sarawati for education. She got musical instrument veena in her one hand and book in other. knowledge and rythm. The rythm is perceived by the left brain and the content by right. I had heard so. I did not want student to learn by hard. And anyway this learning was just an option for them. I wanted them to love it and to appreciate it. The traditional way wont work on the foreign land, I knew that. Can I try it differently? Can I try singing in the class? Lets keeps the veena in the mind. Lets put the vowels in a song. I shall use my own skill to the best. It was entertaining. You try it and see it works like a magnet. In two songs we were almost done with the part of remembrance. One for vowels and one for Consonants. Here you go. You can do better than me.

This became almost our regular prathana ( prayer) in the classroom to start with. Younger the kid, quicker he or she picks it up. And then try any other letter from any language like B, C, D, F, G etc to sing on the same tune, they will catch it like a fire. ……………And that gave me a hint to progress my class more dynamically………………….And I got the trick!
