Interested in joining the music school setup by Sir AR Rahman ? Then your dreams are not away. A R Rahman is all set to open the music school in January 2009.

He has acquired land for his dream project, near Chennai Airport and is planning to start the work very soon. Talking about the music school Rahman feels that the young talented musicians in our country, who want to learn Western classical music, have nowhere seriously creative to go. According to him, he need to cultivate a taste for Western symphonic music so that an average musically-inclined young musician would be as enthused about learning the violin as the star”

The land purchase puts Rahman’s dream plan into third gear. “We’ll soon be working round-the-clock. I want it to be one of the best music schools in our country.” adds Rahman . So make the fingers crossed, young singers and musicians! You are really going to be the next Rock star.

The auditions will be started at the end of this month and candidates are selected purely on the basis of talent and attitude. The admissions to A R Rahman school will be on June and fees are not yet finalized.
