Spardha School of Music and Dance: shaping the future of performing arts education by empowering teachers

At the heart of every great educational experience lies an inspiring teacher. This belief is more than a principle for Spardha School of Music and Dance. It is the driving force behind their mission to democratize music and dance education worldwide.

Spardha's commitment to its teachers goes beyond the traditional format, as the teachers get a platform to grow both professionally and personally with upskilling opportunities. By empowering teachers through continuous learning opportunities, Spardha is rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a music and dance teacher.

A Platform for Growth and Recognition

At Spardha, the focus is not only on the students but also on the teachers. Spardha prides itself on providing its teachers with a robust journey of growth and development. The platform offers a clear, structured path with multiple levels of progression, allowing educators to advance from entry-level roles to becoming Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). This journey is complemented by regular incentives, which are tied not only to the teachers' own performance but also to the progress of their students. As students succeed, so do their teachers—a rewarding system that highlights Spardha’s commitment to shared success.

Teachers at Spardha are also offered opportunities to expand their skills beyond their primary areas of expertise. This commitment to upskilling ensures that the teachers at Spardha are also continuously improving - becoming better performers, staying current with the latest teaching methodologies, and able to provide the highest quality education to their students as well.

In recognition of their contributions, exceptional teachers are celebrated with a feature on India’s leading radio channel - Radio Mirchi. This acknowledgment highlights their dedication to promoting music and dance education as well as celebrates the impact they have within the Spardha community.

Creative Freedom and Scheduling Flexibility

Spardha’s proprietary curriculum provides a solid foundation for students, offering a structured path that ensures consistent progress and skill development. However, the real magic happens in the classroom, where teachers have the creative freedom to connect with their students on a personal level. While the curriculum offers direction, how a teacher designs and delivers each session is left to their discretion, allowing them to tailor lessons to the individual needs and interests of their students.

This balance of structure and flexibility empowers teachers to not only teach but to inspire. Moreover, Spardha also offers teachers the flexibility to make their own schedules and decide their working hours. Teachers can give the time when they will be available to conduct the classes and they are assigned the students on the basis of the time that matches the preference of both the student and teacher. This ensures work-life balance for the teacher so they give their best in the classroom.

Bridging the Culture Gap

With many students in the Indian diaspora, the music and dance teachers at Spardha become the cultural ambassadors. They help the students connect with their culture, heritage, and language despite the geographical distance.

This cultural connection offers depth to the learning. It helps the students learn technical skills while also offering them a sense of identity and belonging.

An Opportunity for Women Teachers

The CEO of Spardha, Saurabh Srivastava’s vision of democratizing music education has evolved into something far greater—a platform that empowers over 500 women educators. This is one of the most remarkable achievements of the platform.

Through the platform, many women have been able to participate in the industry. And they are reshaping the definition of work by blending their personal life and their professional aspirations, and using their skill to redefine the possibilities for women in the space of performing arts education.

Conclusion

Spardha’s success lies not only in its innovative approach to music and dance education but also in its unwavering support for the teachers who make it all possible. With each lesson taught and each student inspired, Spardha’s teachers are making a profound impact—not just on their students, but on the broader landscape of performing arts education.

Through its unique blend of structure, flexibility, and community, Spardha stands as a leader in the field. The platform is nurturing an environment that supports both students and teachers, and by extension, promotes music and dance education.
