The department offers teaching in sitar, sarod, violin, flute and esraj under the ‘Tata-Sushir Wing’. In the other wing, known as ‘Avanaddha Wing’, the students are exposed to three membrane percussion, namely, tabla, pakhawaj and shreekhol. The programs also expose the students to the World Music. The reason of including World Music in the curriculum is to connect the students with world of musical creations in some way. This helps the students to start working more comfortably under the global scene. The postgraduate students work on a small research project that introduces them to serious research.
  At the advanced level the study of computer for musical applications, like sound editing, musical score writing, primary acoustic analysis and the likes are included. These courses help the students to be more adaptable to the Music Industry and also help in Music Research.
