About Our Legacy: A Walk Through History
When you walk into our Safdarjung campus, you are not just entering a music school. You are stepping into a story that began in 1924. We maintain the same traditional baithak style where legends like Jagjit Singh ji once sat and performed, keeping that atmosphere alive for every new student.
For nearly a century, we have been a home for music in Delhi. Our journey started in 1924 with a simple mission: to share the joy of Indian classical music. Over the decades, we have hosted icons such as Kishore Kumar ji and Pt. Jasraj, building personal bonds that shaped our identity. You will see these rare photographs adorning our halls today. While we take pride in our history, we are a living, breathing institution. We bridge the gap between traditional Hindustani classical training and modern music production. In our Katharas studio, students work on the same equipment that professional artists use. Whether you are looking for vocal training, a Kathak class, or professional sound engineering courses, you are learning in a space that has been touched by some of the greatest voices in the country. Our focus remains on passing down this wisdom through our Prayag Sangeet Samiti curriculum and our industry-led dance workshops. Come be a part of a silsila that connects the legends of the past with the stars of the future.
