Music Internship in India

Passionate about music...here is your opportunity to spread the word! Musicians and music fans are needed to volunteer on this gap year project with this non-profit organisation that works to promote rock music in India. As a gap year volunteer you can teach an instrument, help in the recording studio, or gain experience in organising concerts and other events.
The project organises a large annual music festival in Chennai, hosts weekly concerts for local bands and runs regular "battle of the bands " competitions. The centre houses a modern recording studio where albums are recorded by local bands. There is also a music school for tuition in musical instruments like guitars, drums, bass and keyboards.
But it is not all about the music! This organisation has an active involvement in community development, sponsoring underprivileged students through college, and campaigning against drug and alcohol abuse amongst the youth.
Your role: Your role here will very much depend on where your talents lie. This is not just a gap year project for musicians! If you do play guitar, drums, bass or keyboards you can teach your instrument in the music school and hold workshops for students. For those with an interest in recording, you can lend a hand in the recording studio, using your knowledge and learning some tricks of the trade. While you are there you might also want to start a band or maybe join an existing one. If you are qualified to teach an instrument or are a music educator, it helps the project immensely.
Non-musicians can also get involved by helping with event management, marketing and promotion of concerts, festivals and other events. For organizing and managing events, you will need to have the following basic skills:
- Being able to write (web content, press updates, brochures)
- Experience in making corporate presentations, the business of marketing the event
- Motivated to glean from & make better the events
- Experience in artist relations & band scheduling
- Live sound, stage management etc
What you gain: This is a great way to gain experience in all areas of the music industry during your gap year, and at the same time be involved in the cultural life of modern India whilst inspiring young people through music. It offers an excellent learning opportunity for a career in music.

Going to a new country can be unnerving. But it?s a great experience when you have the basics taken care of. At GapGuru, we have arranged for what we believe will make for a comfortable trip.
What?s included?
- Country and Project Guidance – There is so much to choose from! Our team gives you a run down on destinations and projects that you are tempted to go for, so that you can choose the right placement. If you are not sure of what you want to do or where you want to go, our experienced team is there to guide you all the way.
- Pre Departure Briefing – Before you leave for your chosen destination, we will arrange for a pre departure briefing where we help you out with extremely helpful details. Things like – what clothes are suitable, peculiarities of people, food that you could get, safety of the place and precautions if any, how much should you pay for a cup of coffee – simple things to make your life easier !
- Guidance for processing visa – GapGuru will arrange for all the relevant documents and guide you through the visa process.
- Airport Pick Up – Arriving in a new city and not knowing where to go and how to go can be quite unsettling. A GapGuru representative will meet you at the nearest airport or train station and take you to your place of stay.
- In country Orientation and Welcome Pack – When you arrive in the city, you will have an orientation where you could meet other gapers from GapGuru, know all about the city, how to find your way around, where to get SIM cards for the phone, small bits that you will need help sorting out in the first few days.

Testimonials: "I helped out with weekly concerts where the programme ranged from pupils from the school to established bands performing their own material and their own cult following. I even had the opportunity to record a CD with Nina, another GapGuru Volunteer, of the pieces we'd performed together - what a great souvenir!....for the city's atmosphere and friendly people, for the constantly evolving music scene, for the enthusiastic kids at the school, and for the whole fascinating experience, I would go back tomorrow.
