About Us

Our Story

Most music schools are "factories" that try to teach a dozen different instruments at once. We believe that mastery isn’t found in doing everything—it’s found in doing a few things exceptionally well.

That’s why at BGMA, we specialize exclusively in Guitar and Vocals. With over a decade of teaching excellence, our singular focus allows us to provide a level of technical depth and dedicated mentorship that sets us apart from generalized music platforms.

Our Mission

To make high-quality, structured music education accessible worldwide.

Founded by professional musicians, BGMA was built to combine the discipline of traditional music education with the flexibility of modern learning. What began in 2016 as a focused guitar academy in Bangalore has evolved into a global community serving students across continents.

Our curriculum is designed for both hobbyists and serious learners seeking long-term musical growth. Every class is conducted by our in-house team of instructors, ensuring consistent quality and a personalized mentorship experience.

Over the years, our students have joined us from across India and internationally, including Australia, Singapore, the UAE, Oman, the United States, and Europe.

Our Team

One shared passion. Bringing BGMA's mission to life.

Ramesh K Ravindran is the Founder and Director of Bangalore Global Music Academy (BGMA), with deep roots in Karnataka. He grew up in Kudremukh and pursued his Mechanical Engineering degree in Mysore, where his musical journey began.

Before dedicating himself fully to music, he worked as a Project Manager at HCLTech, where he developed expertise in training systems. In the academy's early years, he personally mentored hundreds of guitarists, refining these systems into the teaching principles that now form the backbone of BGMA’s methodology.

A professional guitarist with over 18 years of experience, he has built the Academy around structured, results-driven music education for both serious and hobby learners alike. His own musical development was shaped under the mentorship of Robert D'Souza, a graduate of the Los Angeles College of Music (USA), bringing international standards and disciplined musicianship into BGMA’s programs.

BGMA’s instructor team consists exclusively of professional musicians from diverse musical backgrounds — including performing artists, multi-instrumentalists, classically trained musicians, and music production specialists.

Every instructor undergoes internal training aligned with BGMA’s teaching standards and structured curriculum framework. This ensures that regardless of the instructor, every student receives consistent, high-quality, personalized instruction rooted in the academy’s methodology. Our unified teaching system allows us to maintain global quality standards while delivering individualized mentorship for each learner.
