A GLOBAL INITIATIVE
Aarya is a dynamic global initiative that promotes vocal music. Aarya recognises that singing is good for you and singing along is good for the world. Science is collecting evidence on singing’s benefits for the quality of life of those who are touched by it. Educators are interested in singing as an advantage in all areas of learning. At Aarya’s core are the ideals of health, education, sharing, hope, positive energy, and joy.
THE AARYA FOUNDATION
Aarya includes both a foundation and a commercial company. The Foundation is a charitable trust whose mission is to advance singing science and advocate music education through singing, from kindergarten on, for the sake of art, health, and community. The Aarya Foundation owns 50 percent of Aarya Ltd.
