Sikh Student School Assemblies

The Sikh student in this photograph is a budding violinist performing at a school concert. Sikh students who wear turbans stand out at school. Sikh Families who attend after school activities and assemblies provide support to their student who may be the only visible Sikh in the classroom, or even in the school.

Cultural arts are a growing area of interest for Sikhs around the world. Parents who are involved in a students scholastic experience, encourage the students interests and help build self confidence. The violin is just one of many stringed instruments which may be integrated to accompany kirtan, the sacred music of Sikhs, in classical raag.
