About Music Basti in B 38, 4th Floor, Hill View Apartments, Vasant Vihar (before PVR Priya), New Delhi

We believes access to the arts and music is essential to a child’s success. Music Basti connects at-risk children with musicians, aiming to nurture confidence through a creative and joyful music-learning experience. Set up in 2008, the program teaches a mixture of musical training, songwriting and performing. Our curriculum seeks to foster life-skills that are vital to a well-rounded child development, such as confidence, creativity and leadership. Crucially, these skills enable our young musicians to engage normatively with a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world.

In 2013, Music Basti created the one-year ReSound program. ReSound is designed to enable children to write and perform their own original songs that tell the story of their communities. All of the program’s students live either in slum accommodation or in residential homes that give them shelter from a life out on the street. None of them have access to quality education, arts or music training. Since 2013, ReSound has trained over 100 teachers, worked directly with over 900 students, and created 28 original songs.
