Building confidence & raise self-esteem through musical production

Abstract

Musical production is one of the real joys in life, and students can benefit from a variety of activities. The sheer delight of children’s singing and playing, listening to fine music, dancing, playing a musical instrument, and enjoying music as a family is a reward in itself. Whichever role the students are involved in, be it main roles in the production or backstage crew members, the experience offers tremendous benefits - academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The production of a musical provides so many varied activities that every student can be assured of succeeding in at least one – and often more than one, regardless of his or her mental ability. This paper attempts to understand: 1. How students felt about being part of this major production. 2. How it has effected their perception about themselves. 3. Whether the Normal Technical Students are just as reliable.
