Namaste! Namaskara! Greetings! Welcome to the Bangalore School of Music.It has been my privilege and vision to have sown the seed of a musical note in 1987 with the hope of developing it into a grand symphony in the future. It has been a challenge to build this special family of musicians over the years at home and around the world- of students, parents, teachers, committee members, staff, volunteers, music lovers, our cultural partners & associates. The press & media have also played their part in the grand symphony. . Our Music-Reach Program continues to empower over 200 disadvantaged children each year via local support & commitment of teachers. The inflow of regular students increases each year. The Annual East West Festival along with the numerous other events we organize each year has led to cultural partnerships with musicians from 30 countries world wide. This has also undoubtedly presented numerous opportunities of showcasing India's own rich cultural heritage. 2009 will see the 12th multicultural international East West Festival adding many more cultural & performing arts programs to its present list, with hopes of implementing numerous other ideas as well. It has given me much joy to see us, slowly but steadily, outgrow the 100 year old family bungalow which has been home to several thousand 'music-makers'.
