The Majolly Music Trust
Situated in a quiet corner in an unlikely neighbourhood of old Bengaluru is The Majolly Music Trust, the realization of a long-cherished dream of Founder – Director, Neecia Majolly.
Founded in February 2011, the MMT is committed to the highest standards of music performance and teaching through:
Instrumental and vocal music, music theatre, symphonic and choral music, and music technology.
Training aspiring teachers of music, music theatre and music technology to a high standard of teaching.
Training underprivileged youth in the above and facilitate a career in music and music technology as a viable option.
Promotion of young talent through our Young Performers’ Concert Series.
Creating scholarships for deserving students of the above to facilitate further studies in music and music technology which would otherwise not be viable.
Creating awareness of the above to music-loving public through solo concerts, music theatre productions, orchestral and choir concerts, music appreciation workshops, summer music camps, competitions, etc.
Creating a PENSION FUND for aged and infirm musicians, the first of its kind in India. We are already assisting a few musicians with a monthly sum to help with rent/medicines/food, and hope to add more to the list.

Activities
We are not affiliated to any religious institutions, as we believe very strongly in the art and power of music. To this end, we do not discriminate against colour, creed, or social standing.
Our classes are one-to-one, or in a group of two so that there is individual attention to each student. Our motto ‘ Nurturing India’s Future Musicians’ aims to do just that, with dedicated, committed, and qualified teachers taking on the task to educate and inculcate the love of music and its related arts in equally dedicated and committed students!
