KM Music Conservatory: India's first music conservatory, launched by A. R. Rahman


Music Maestro A.R. Rahman fulfilled one of his long term dreams.

On Sunday, he launched India's first music conservatory, KM Music Conservatory.

It will be India's first Apple authorized training centre, where professors and musicians from India and abroad, will provide training and education to students in Indian and Western classical music.

The institute, located in Chennai, will also help in fine-tuning the skills of students who play instruments like flute, trumpet, violin, French horn and percussion.

Needless to say, there will be more career options open for these young talented kids, once they combine their musical skill with the latest knowledge in production technology.

Through this institute, Rahman would also fulfill his vision of having a full-fledged orchestra in India so that Indian composers don't have to go abroad when they have to record with orchestras.

Must say, this initiative by Rahman is indeed one unique way of giving back something to the world of music!
