“Studying at Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music in India was one of the best experiences of my life. This place has really started to feel like home, with every person existing in a huge family. I can honestly say that I feel I’ve made a connection with every person here, and I can’t say that about any school I’ve ever been to. Spending this time here, I feel like I’ve learned so much about life and people in general. It turned out to be the most fulfilling “school” experience I’ve ever had.”
