Fantastic opportunity for Northeast musicians

By Aiyushman Dutta |


Music lovers of the country could not have had it better! Committed to expanding its global reach and influence and recruiting more students from overseas, the Musicians Institute of Hollywood is making its first recruiting drive in India this year with an exhibit at Musician Expo at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai from June 3-5.


MI’s participation at this convention will be a great opportunity for music students in India to pursue the dream of studying contemporary music in the heart of the music industry in the US. And to make it all the more merrier, the organizers are giving special attention to the Northeastern region, which houses a sizeable chunk of promising musicians. Music lovers from the region can surely benefit a lot by attending this institute that has produced some of the greatest artistes from their GIT, PIT and BIT (Guitar Institute of Technology, Percussion Institute of Technology and Bass Institute of Technology) courses.


Since 1977, Musicians Institute (MI) has trained thousands of graduates for careers in every genre of contemporary music. From the beginning, MI revolutionized music education with hands-on, intensive, performance-based programs taught by working professionals. Today, MI’s unique, innovative approach includes degree and certificate programs for career-minded guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, audio engineers, independent artists, guitar makers, music business professionals and filmmakers.


Musician Expo is exclusive to India. Since 2001, it has attracted the global musical instrument industry to Mumbai for the Indian market. The exhibition features the latest products and technology in music and pro sound and light. The show features a comprehensive array of western acoustic and electronic music instruments; music recording software and hardware; music production and post-production equipment; music reproduction and sound reinforcement; stage sound and install sound; DJ equipment; digital media and accessories.


Thomas Music Corporation has partnered with MI to represent them in India and Sri Lanka, and will be assisting MI with the recruitment of students. Thomas Music with its offices both in USA, and in India, has assisted major US and International manufacturers of Musical Instruments introduce their product line in India. Musicians Institute and Thomas Music will be travelling to Bangalore, Chennai, and other cities to promote the benefit of MI’s unique music education. Interested music students may request their preferred city by visiting www.indianmi.com.
