DIGITAL ORCHESTRA

Digital Orchestra makes music beautiful


With the help of  young, passionate and dedicated musicians pursuing instrumental lessons  I was able to craft an artistic cohort. It all begun when I decided to bring them together and form the only one of its kind, the Digital Orchestra, a band of Ipads. With the progression of technology and students getting practical experience of the most up-to-date equipments, I  introduced the Ipad with an eye towards advancing digital music. My young maestros use Garage band on the Ipad to play and perform live on stage. They  use sampled instruments consisting of brass, woodwind, percussion and the string family to create a wide arrangement of sounds. Our first debut was Coldplay’s – Paradise where for the first time we had the Western Choir perform together with the Orchestra. Since then all members of the Digital orchestra play the same device with different instruments on each Ipad such as electronic helix, cello, violin, guitars, piano and  performed in occasions such as Award Ceremonies, Grand Parents Day and Founders’ Day 2013.
