The Kala Academy's Department of Western Music, formerly known as "Academia de Mūsica" was started
during the erstwhile regime in 1952 to popularize Western music, a legacy of long association of the Portuguese with Goa.
The traditions of Western Music were gradually introduced in the local way of life including religious singing. A large number of Goans
have made their professional mark in Western musical skills not only in
India, but abroad. It was therefore found necessary that in Goa, known for
the Goa Symphony, orchestras, singers, drummers, pianists and others, the
Academia de Mūsica becomes an integral part of the Academy to promote and
preserve Western music under one roof. Various subjects taught by the
Department of Western Music include solo singing, strings, piano, wind and
classical guitar. Violin, viola, cello, bass, jazz, trumpet, flute,
clarinet are also taught in this faculty.
The subsidiary subjects include choral singing, sight reading, musicology
besides theory, history and general knowledge connected with music. The
Department of Western Music has also provided linkages to primary,
secondary and college level courses with those of Trinity College of Music, London.
(1) Admission is open to all. The minimum age for enrollment is 8 years. Minimum education required is the ability to understand, read and write English. The
academic year starts in January. Application forms must
reach the office by end of November of the previous year.
All applicants will be required to take an aptitude test conducted by a committee consisting of the Director, members of the staff and experts. Students
are required to undergo mandatory training in Solfeggio, Ear training, Musical
appreciation, and Theory of Music.
