MUSIC COLLEGE SET UP

Believing is Achieving. To achieve something with a concept oriented program, one has to believe somebody who is trust-worthy, capable and having capacity to do things with systematic work-outs to achieve the set goals. Moreover, setting up and establishing Institutions like this, for the learning purpose of interested children/students/adults, needs to be encouraged. Achievements do not come of its own; but, one has to work for it. To work for it, one has to believe some body that is, sincere, dedicated, hard-worker, and passion to do such things in establishment of institutions/offices/colleges etc.

Everybody is aware that this generation of children/students/boys and girls are very much fond of and interested in learning music, vocal, instruments, electronic guitar key board operations and other various types of ultra-modern and latest technology instruments. Most of these generation children are mostly interested to learn vocal, singing, Classical music, Carnatic music, Hindustani music, Indian music, Western music and International instruments music. Some of the boys and girls/students right from their age of 5 years, are learning their interest of music/vocal etc. Parents are encouraging their children for these musical events.

It is a well-known fact that for some children/people/adults/aged and senior citizens, the music hearing or music learning including Indian Music, Western Music, Indian Dance, Western Dance, is fond, love, affection, liking, passion, desire, profession, earning and more than all, its life and everything in this World of Art of Living. Music and Dance are both inter-linked. Learning of Music and Dance (both Indian/Western/age old system), is very much actively seen learning by almost all the people, especially females and has become a Tradition and Custom, from the previous Yugas viz, Krupayuga, Tretha Yuga, Dwapar Yuga, Kali Yuga. The Music and Dance will continue to flourish future also and would become one of the subjects in the regular stream of Educational system.

It is observed that many areas in the City/States are lacking these Music colleges/Music schools. The present Music colleges/Music schools are not equipped with any type of latest musical instruments and paucity of music Teachers, making a discomfort in imparting the musical coaching to various music learning children/students.

In this context, it is well thought of, and planned to promote a likely proposed Music College, with all the musical apparatus/equipment/instruments, to be made available for the benefit and utility of the music learning boys, girls, children and students.

Even, the Music College is kept open to adults who are interested to learn the music/vocal/instruments (both Indian and western type).

As such, to enable set up this mega Music College in the heart of the City of Hyderabad, there is a proposal to promote this Music College, for the benefit of all the children/adults by making available all the types of domestic, national and international musical equipment/apparatus etc. For this, it is given a thought to acquire 4-5 Acres of land at the outskirts of the Hyderabad City. It is also planned to construct the required buildings for this Music College.
