Saraswati Sangeet Vidyalaya 
This school is located at the Nehru Circle in Seshadripuram. Once you
are inside the premises, you feel cool, calm and collected - the ambience
is very conducive to learn the wonderful art of music. The marble statue
of Saraswati, holding a veena in her hand, the traditional oil paintings,
the trophies and the brass idols of gods and goddesses in the hall bestows
divine inspiration to learn. Every inch of the place speaks of music.
The students are taught in an aesthetic way. "We teach them in the
Gurukula system of education - sitting on mats, cross-legged," says
Guru Shyamala Bhave.
The school has been imparting music lessons in Hindustani, Carnatic vocal,
light music in all languages and instrumental music for over six decades.
Instituted by late Pandit G.V. Bhave and late Smt. Lakshmi G.
Bhave in 1931 with a devotion to music, the tradition is still being
preserved and enriched by their equally well-known daughter Ubhaya
Gana Vidushi Shyamala G. Bhave.
"We do not charge any fees to poor students. The money collected
from other students is used for maintenance of the school, teacher's fee
and the rest is given away as charity to the needy ones," says Guru
Shyamala Bhave.
The classes are conducted in both Hindustani and Carnatic
forms of music.

Vijaya College of Music
 Famous
vocalist and violinist late Sangeetha Vidwan
L.S. Narayanaswamy Bhagavathar established the Vijaya College of
Music in the year 1953 with the help of his students and well-wishers
in the Basavanagudi area of Bangalore. From then onwards, numerous students
have successfully obtained training in both the Lakshya and Lakshana aspects
of music from this institution.
After Bhagavathar's demise, the college shifted from Basavanagudi
to the Jayanagar area of Bangalore. From then, the college has grown in
leaps and bounds but has always retained Bhagavathar's ideals. Recognising
hidden talent in the youth and channelising it in the right direction
was one of Bhagavathar's many virtues. The college has successfully maintained
this goal of Bhagavathar.
Currently, it is headed by Bhagavathar's nephew and renowned violinist
Prof. H.V. Krishnamurthy. Under his able hands many musicians
have blossomed and made Karnataka proud.
Along with Carnatic music theory, Carnatic vocal, violin, veena,
flute and mrudangam training are provided by the college. All the
students of the college are not only excellent musicians but are also
shining in other professions as well.
