Reshammiya intends to opening music schools. Review on Himesh Reshammiya

Himesh Reshammiya has yet another ace up his sleeve. The singer will be opening his own music schools all over the country. Confirming the news, Himesh says, "I'm opening a hi-tech music school to be called Himesh Reshammiya School Of Music all over the country, starting from Mumbai, Delhi, Madras and Kolkata. There will be two centers in each town. It's a very huge project. The interiors will be done by Italian architects who are being roped in for their expertise.

I want to change the face of music schools in this country." With this school, Himesh wants to make music accessible to the young and old in terms with what they are comfortable with. "So far we have had music schools associated with guru shishya. With my school I intend to do away with make the process of music learning friendly rather than forbidding," says Himesh. Himesh wants both the amateur and the professional musician to have an equal place in the school. "The important thing is to get people interested in music as a career option.

The students could range from six to 60, but the bottom line is that I want music to be made both fun and meditative. Music schools in our country are dingy and depressive. I want this school to become like shopping mall or a multiplex where people can relax." After his extension plans in the country, Himesh intends to open schools outside India too. "In Phase 2 we will take it to the non-metro centers. I intend developing a syllabus which incorporates different genres of music.

My school will endeavour to bring forth the best talent to the film industry.

I want to bridge the gap between trained classic musicians and popular cinema." Excited at the prospect of encouraging new talent, Himesh says, "I guess it's payback time for me. Whatever I've gained from music I want to pass on to the young generations. I had such little guidance when I was starting out. Now I want youngsters to get the opportunities I didn't."
