Flute Classes at Spiny Babbler

At Spiny Babbler, we have a flute class every morning. Our flute teacher Dhana sir comes every Monday and Friday, and the rest of the days we practice ourselves. We practice for nearly two hours a day. He teaches us to play flute to different Nepali songs. I have completed basic course of playing flute. I have also learned to play some rhymes and to play “Sa, Re, Ga” as well as “Asarai Maina Ma,” “Bhajo Khet,” “Fool Ko Akhama, “ “Ye Kancha,” etc. I have also learned to play National anthem of our country, “Sayau Thunga.”

We help each other by teaching each other and we enjoy a lot. We have performed in front of many people in different places and they have liked our performances.

Boxing

We have boxing classes every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. We are coached by Deepak Maharjan, the only international gold medalist of Nepal. The boxing class starts at 8:00 o’clock in the morning and ends at 9:30. I love boxing. I just got a new pair of boxing bandages last Thursday. They protect our bones from the cracks that are caused while boxing. In the boxing class we also do exercise like pushups and squats. We know many basic moves that are used in boxing.

In the class, first of all we all do warm up exercise. Then we start practicing boxing moves. After one hour of boxing moves we hit the pad wearing the boxing gloves. Then we end the class by the cool down exercise. My favorite part of the boxing class is when I hit the pad. I loved it when I hit the pad for the first time.
