My Story
We’re Furtados School of Music. Music isn’t just a hobby for us – it’s a full-on liberating experience. Iske bina life nahi hai (Without this, there is no life), someone said, and honestly, we feel that deep. We’ve spent years teaching over 1 lakh kids not just how to play, but how to feel. Our Band-It festival? That’s where shy kids get loud and proud. We live for those goosebumps moments.
