We have recently launched a series of short term courses for qualified music therapists to specialise in community-based music therapy. The school has also introduced many short term webinars for creating awareness and sensitize on the health benefits of integrating music in every day life.
Recently, we have launched a Telehealth program for children (Swastha) to create an interest in children for music and initiate them to using music as a self care tool in their every day life. Also a telehealth program (Chikitsa) for children with special needs is also launched.
