Bharadwaj,
one
of
the
leading
music
directors
in
Tamil,
has
launched
a
school
for
light
music
in
association
with
the
Tamil
Nadu
Open
University.
The
school
has
been
named
as
Bharadwaj
School
of
Music
based
in
Chennai.
The school has launched a one-year diploma course in Applied Music (vocal) recognized by the Tamil Nadu Open University. The abbreviation used for the diploma is DAM.
According to Bharadwaj, it is an initiative to bring academic recognition to light music in a rather movie-centric world.
He said in a press conference held at Chennai yesterday, "Bharathwaj School of Music has been one of my dreams which has come true today. The course will be offered at Chennai, Erode, Coimbatore, Salem, Trichy, Tanjavur, Thirunelveli and Madurai, with the session commencing in September 2007. The admission notification will be published in the media shortly..."
