We have always encouraged music lovers to learn music in a professional way and designed programs and courses that equip them to make a career in Music. At the same time, we believe that music education and academic qualifications go hand in hand and set the base for a right career path. We are pleased to partner with IGNOU in imparting quality education and opening up new horizons for the youth”
