    What our Alumni say

    • My experience at GMI was incredibly fruitful. I learned a lot about composition, theory - most of which I apply to all of the songwriting, composing, and performing I take part in today. I encourage anyone who wants to grow up to be a full-time musician to learn the rules of the game before they can make it their own!

      Tarana Marwah

      Music Producer & Director

    • GMI had a big role to play in helping me build a strong musical foundation. I think the most important thing that GMI taught me was the skill to listen, and listen carefully. Whether it's working with a session musician, producing music for an artist, recording/ mixing a track or composing music for an ad/ short film, listening carefully is the most important thing.

      Abhishek Sekhri

      Founder - Kintsugi Studios

    • GMI was my first experience studying concepts like music theory, composition, ear training, piano, voice and how to work in an ensemble. I've trained and studied under so many exceptional teachers at GMI who are not only great at their skill and the art of teaching but have always been great human beings. I owe a lot of my sensibilities and values as an artist to this institute.

      Singer-Songwriter

    • GMI gave me a taste of everything that goes into the journey of a song: from composing , arranging and producing to the finer aspects of business and law. Multiple and diverse ensembles enhanced my versatility as a singer and a pianist, while personal attention in an intimate setting allowed for a deeper understanding of music.
