Our Mentees
We refer to all our course participants as Mentees. Studying music is a lifelong journey and we believe that each Mentee contributes to the joy of learning & discovery, sharing their ideas and fostering a sense of community.
Our Mentees are a diverse group, ranging from the ages of 14 to 40 years old from early intermediate players to music educators who have been teaching for decades.
These are our talented Mentees from 2023 – 2024.
They have all successfully completed our mentorship project for the last season.
Our Story
How it all started in 2021
One of the major drawbacks of music education in India is the financial element of receiving qualitative tuition. Economically, students who are fortunate enough to own a classical guitar and possess an intermediate to advanced level generally cannot afford to meet their desired level of music instructor, who follow the international or European reference framework for higher advanced music education. Institutions across the world help a lot in providing this education and career. This led to the early formation or CGRF and it's Scholarship Based Mentorship Program.
Samrat Majumder and Srijit Mukherjee founded the Classical Guitar Reach Foundation (CGRF) for India as a non-profit organization to help bridge this educational gap for the benefit of these students who wish to begin or develop a career in music by taking their musicality to the international concert stage.
