Music Education
The Lakshminarayana Global Centre of Excellence
LGCE was founded by Global violin icon Dr. L Subramaniam and legendary Bollywood Multi-platinum playback singer Kavita Krishnamurti Subramaniam. The goal of the LGCE is to provide the highest form of training in performance and/ or teaching with global exposure. Our BA MA PhD and certificate courses in music are designed to bridge the gap between the gurukul system (which emphasizes on practical performances) and university education (which emphasizes on theoretical approach).
LGCE has collaborated with premier institutes like Jain University (Bangalore Karnataka) & Vishwakarma University (Pune Maharashtra) for offering University Grants Commission (UGC) approved degrees & certificates for its courses.
We believe that music is the finest of the fine arts that cannot be mastered by reading textbooks alone. The courses take a holistic approach to music and offers both practical and theoretical education. While the curriculum is rooted in traditional Indian music students also gain exposure to global music & music-related concepts.
The courses also focus on music performance with education and students will also have a first-hand experience of being a part of LGMF (Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival) which is the biggest global music festival. Highlights of this festival are bringing in international artists and collaborating with Indian artists and the main motto is to ‘creating new collaboration and pushing the boundaries of music beyond borders.’
