That the passion I have built up over the past 7 years of working in the industry could be packaged up and embraced by my students. The future of music in India is in the hands of these youngsters.

The entertainment industry is growing quite rapidly in India and I hope it continues to grow at this rate.

That they fond a source of continuous inspiration upon which to base a rewarding and personally gratifying career, whether it be based on audio music or any other aspect that brings them joy and purpose.

From my inner cynic: The global audio industry will continue to be hampered by the abundant use of MP3 music and the growing iPod revolution, indirectly causing the decline in numbers of beautiful old recordings studios that absolute high end productions are made in.

The challenge of articulating ideas… exposes people to new concepts. I get a real buzz when a student comes back to me and tell me they’ve done a bit more reading about a particular topic and that they want to explore it further! If I can motivate students to investigate outside of the classroom – off their own bat – then I feel a true sense of achievement and know I am doing my job.
