KM Music Conservatory (KMMC) is a higher education institution founded in 2008 by the A. R. Rahman foundation. Located in Arumbakkam, Chennai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the Conservatory offers a range of part-time and full-time courses in Hindustani and Western classical music and music technology. Composer A. R. Rahman serves as Head Principal of the Conservatory and Fathima Rafiq as Executive Director.
KMMC offers two higher education qualifications in collaborative partnership with Middlesex University, UK. The Foundation and Diploma courses combine study of Piano, western vocals, Guitar, Percussion, flute and Violin in depth and provide students with a range of solo and ensemble performance opportunities.
The Foundation Certificate in Music is a one-year comprehensive course designed to equip students with fundamental musical skills and prepare students for the study of music at degree level. The course comprises units in Academic Skills, Music History & Analysis, Music Theory, Performance, Composition and Audio Technology.
The Diploma in Higher Education: Music is a two-year programme including units in Music Traditions, Western Music History & Analysis, Performance and Musicianship, and Applied Audio Technology. In the second year of the course students choose to specialize in either performance or composition. As well as forming an independent qualification, the Diploma course forms the first two years of an undergraduate degree in music, and students completing the course are automatically admitted to study a third year at Middlesex University, London, UK, to complete the BA in Music. The first cohort of Diploma graduates from KMMC travelled to London for 2012–13 academic year.
KMMC also offers a range of part-time Preparatory music courses, designed as one-year programmes for all music enthusiasts over the age of 5 years. Providing practical music lessons and music theory classes, the curriculum consists of weekly private and group sessions that develop students' musical skills at their own pace. Current Preparatory courses include Western vocals, Hindustani vocal, piano, strings, flute, violin, viola, cello, percussion and guitar. Offerings include Chatterji's Piano Studio, run by renowned pianist Surojeet Chatterji, the Certificate in Vocal Performance and Electronic Music Production.
