Department of Music at S.N.D.T. Women’s University views itself amongst the few departments in the Indian universities system, where a serious student can remain in continuous contact with the same Faculty (guru(s) from senior secondary (i.e.class XI) up to the M.A. degree level, and beyond up to the Ph.D. degree. Department has an envious tradition of attracting good faculty and extremely good and motivated students.
