The island city has music teachers that can train students for the Trinity Music course. Popular instruments that you can begin with are the Keyboard, Guitar, Violin or the piano, even though Trinity Guildhall offers examinations for more than 20 instruments,but out of these the piano and keyboard always has the most candidates.
WHAT IS IT ? quick facts
Music Examinations are held twice year at four different venues. Four venues are chosen
1.In south Mumbai
2.Western Suburbs
3. Navi Mumbai
4.Thane
Practical Examination grades start from initial to eight,
and then 3 diploma levels. On an average, you can expect to complete learning each course in a years time. That means it will take you one year to get through each grade exam. The advanced levels of 6,7 and 8 require more practice time ,so its common for students to appear once every two years for those levels.
Each Grade level consists of three pieces (22 marks each),technical play (14 marks) and two supporting tests worth 20 marks.
Twice a year,an Examiner from the UK comes down to the exam centers, and you will have to play those 3 pieces along with the other tests in
front of the examiner in the prescribed time, which is anywhere between 10 minutes to half hour depending on your grade.
Theory Examinations also take place at a select venue in South Mumbai once a year,also range from initial grade level through 8 grades.
How to get admission in Trinity college of Music in India?
Many people have messaged this question so let me explain that the Original trinity college is in London, and the course is a correspondence course as such. How you can take admission is by filling up the exam form when it is released about 6 months prior to the examination date.
You will get the syllabus and the books that you can choose your pieces from, which is to be bought separately. It is highly recommended to start music lessons from a teacher that sends pupils for these exams, that way the teacher will fill up the forms and send them on your behalf
TRINITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC MUMBAI – HOW TOUGH IS IT?
Trinity College of Music grade exams are a complete test
musicianship that takes about a year to prepare for as stated before. There is a lot of choice as far as the pieces go, and teachers can select them based on the student in mind.
In addition to these 3 pieces, the supplementary tests like aural ear tests and site reading require a lot of practice too, but anyone with a decent ear and rhythm can clear the lower level grades provided they get few hours in the week to practice. Like any education hard work is required in the weeks preceding the exam.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Assuming you have already started basic music lessons from
an instructed teacher, a music education need not be too expensive, but it
depends on the instrument you are learning too.
Expenses encountered are:
1.Examination fees
Practical Grade exams cost anywhere between 2500 to 5800 per
grade depending on the grade, and theory exams start from 1800 to 3500.
2.Music Classes
Music classes in the city will set you back about 2000-3000
a month for 4 classes that are usually 45 minutes each
3.Books,CDs etc
Examination books, CDs and other expenses cost about 2000-4500
So you’re total expense for a year of clearing one level grade examination would be in the range of 45,000-55,00 p.a.

Dear Jojo22
I am in the process of moving to Mumbai from Dubai where my daughter has been attending Trinity Guildhall training courses and clearing performance examinations for the last 2 years (she started when she was 4) with The Gaia Center (one of the best institutes led by Jessika and Ashwin Menon) in Dubai. She has already completed her certificates in Silver and Gold for YPR and The Communication Skills Initial. She is now preparing to take a test for Speech and Drama Grade 1. To continue this and to ensure she gets trained and tested, I have reached out by mail to Furtados since two weeks and am struggling with no response.
Can you guide me to a training inistitute based in the Western Suburbs (in the Goregaon – Borivali area) where I can continue her drama and performance education? Having had no response to emails or calls, I could do with a bit of help from you.
Thanks
Indi

is there any place in mumbai where one can learn harp?
there should be 1-2 instructors for sure,,call up furtados for the numbers
Furtados are not helping with private tutions teachers.
My daughter got a distinction, ie 94/100 for her initial keyboard. Is that good?im very new to this hence don’t know. Should I still pursue her with the keyboard or shift her to the piano?
Khushboo
94 is excelllent in any instrumnet,,must be one of the highest in the state,if not the country. you can keep her on keyboard for sometime if u want, but ultimately the piano has better pieces to play and you develop better technicaly there.
m interstd to join the institute i play the keyborad but wanna learn more techniques..plz give me an contact number
the institute is located in the UK,you can only appear for its exams and prepare for it under an instructor that is familiar with the trinity college course, you will find many all over the city
