Faculty information
A program is only as good as its teachers, and at NSM we have worked to find among the best in the business.
They come from active involvements in genres that span Western classical, church music, rock, jazz, funk, mainstream pop and even film music. All of them are experienced performers and have individual strengths across the many facets of music education, performance, recording, production, management and touring. Along with their excellent individual skills on their chosen instrument, each of our faculty has a proven ability to communicate musical concepts simply and effectively, to students at various levels. Though many of them have (and continue to play) with some of India's biggest bands and musical heavyweights, they share a strong commitment as pedagogues, to enrich your musical journey by pointing to successful shortcuts they have discovered, while turning you away from pitfalls and cul-de-sacs along the way.

"My interest in learning to play a musical instrument is what led me to begin lessons with Mrs. Lillian Zachariah. I had begun lessons at a point of time during which I was pursuing a Bachelor's in Engineering. Twice a week after college I had classes and music provided me a much-needed relief from the rigorous schedule an engineering student would go through. Lillian was most accommodating with regard to the days I couldn't come because of my exams and my project work. Lillian even took extra classes to make up for the classes I had lost. I have completed my Grade 3 theory exams from the Trinity College, London & under Lillian's guidance have got a 90+ in all the exams.
