London College offers Degree in Indian Music

Bangalore: Trinity College of Music, London, in partnership with Bharathiya Vidhya Bhavan is offering a degree course in Indian Music, validated by the University of Westminster.

The four-year course will be at the Bhavan’s Kensington campus. Announcing the launch of the course, honorary general secretary of BVB London, John Marr said, “ We were invited by the Trinity College of Music to set up a course because the passion for Indian Music in London was immense.”

The College, which already offers a five-year diploma course in Indian Music, has sufficient teaching faculty to offer the new course. Renowned Indian musicians would visit the college every year to offer summer course for the diploma students and serve as external examiners for the degree course, he added.

The course included both the Hindustani and the carnatic music, so that a student, while following his chosen instrumental and stylistic specialism, will be working in an environment where he will be made aware of the underlying common ethos of Indian music, Marr said.
