The Music School Bangalore

The Music School Bangalore (TMSB) is one of India's most internationally connected contemporary music institutions, established in 2008 in Bangalore. Over seventeen years we have helped thousands of students — from complete beginners to serious music professionals, discover their potential, build their skills, and pursue careers in music at the highest level.

At TMSB we offer professional training in Guitar, Drums, Piano, Vocals, Bass, Music Production, Music Composition and Audio Engineering, for students of all ages and all levels. Whether you are picking up an instrument for the first time or preparing for an international music career, TMSB has a program designed for you.

What Makes TMSB Different

TMSB delivers globally recognized, OFQUAL-regulated music qualifications regulated under the same framework that governs undergraduate degrees in England. This means every qualification earned at TMSB carries genuine international recognition and opens doors to universities and careers across the world.

For students serious about a music career, TMSB offers professional Pro Courses from Level 3 Certificate through to Level 5 Associate Degree in Music, with specialisations in Music Performance, Music Production, Music Composition, Audio Engineering, and Music Business.

International Degree Pathways

TMSB holds formal academic partnerships with four internationally recognised music universities, BIMM University in the UK, Germany and Ireland the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney, Musicians Institute in Hollywood, USA, and Singapore Raffles Music College in Singapore. Students who complete TMSB's Level 5 program can progress directly into the final year of a Bachelor's degree at these institutions, carrying every qualification earned in Bangalore with them.

Real Performance Experience

At TMSB students perform live every week at Friday Live Drive, our weekly live performance platform on The TMSB Stage. This is not an end-of-year recital. This is real stage experience, every Friday, as part of the education itself. Stage confidence is something our students build week by week and it shows.

A Community That Comes From Everywhere

TMSB has welcomed students from every major city in India and from countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Students have relocated from the UK, the Netherlands, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and West Africa to study here.

The TMSB alumni community spans the full breadth of the music industry, from working producers and audio engineers to performing artists, music educators, film composers, and music business professionals. Some have gone on to international universities. Some have built independent careers in India's booming music and entertainment industry. Some are doing both.
Seventeen years of graduates. Thousands of stories. One campus in Bangalore that made it possible.
