“Music is a piece of art that goes straight to the heart”

These digital platforms assure a great future for music and media professionals in India. Therefore, many music lovers are opting music as a career. More and more students are enrolling in music courses to become perfect professionals. 

Among the various music colleges in Delhi, AAFT- School of Fine Arts is the most famous one. It teaches the students the technicalities of music, and provides them good experience. Most of the students these days take up music related courses in order to fulfil their dreams of making it big in the Indian film industry as it is very productive, and spans multiple geographies and languages. 


Commercial music in India is almost indistinguishable with film soundtracks, which the music students learn in music courses. Each film generates multiple works for musicians and hence offering job openings, such as- composers, music directors, programmers, lyricists, live musicians, recording engineers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers, producers and many more. To understand these jobs, you must have a strong understanding of music, harmony theory, instrumentation and arrangement which you can learn only when you study the subject properly. 

In the current circumstances, not many musicians hold proper qualifications, and many haven’t received official training in music. But those who have learned the subject well have more chances of getting hired with better pay. So you must take up the subject, study music course from a good college to build a strong career in this field. Entering the world of music production, composition or engineering for films is a theoretically profitable option for music lovers for which they must get education.
