Tansen Sangeet Mahavidyalaya (TSM) was founded by Late Shri R. S. Verma (Sangeet Acharya) (1890-1991). It was established in the year 1972 in Hapur, District Ghaziabad (UP). He was born in Vhora Kareka, in District Aligarh (U.P.). He was a musician by birth as he learned music under the tutelage of his father Late Shri Hoti Lal Verma, who was a resident of Persoli, Mathura (UP) and lived during 1856 – 1948. He performed at many places in India with his group named “Sangeet Mandli”.
Listening to Late Sh. R.S. Verma’s renditions was a soulful experience and made one feel nearer to God. He was a vocalist of great renown and had a great mastery over instruments like harmonium and tabla. Further, he organized skits, dramas and such similar stage shows and acted in these as well, along with his group members of ‘Sangeet Mandli’ This group was a name to reckon with in its days.
To perpetuate the rich and renowned legacy of music and performing arts, his son Sri M. L. Verma (born Jan. 1, 1937, Aligarh, U.P.), took charge of Tansen Sangeet Mahavidyalaya as the Sangeet Acharya. He too was a child artist and had classical music in flowing in his veins and built upon that advantage extremely well. Even today he is closely associated with Tansen Sangeet Mahavidyalaya as the Chairperson of the institute and the students are privileged to learn under his guidance. He actively provides guidance and imparts his great experiences for the multi-dimensional growth and progress of the TSM. He actively participates in all the important meetings, activities and events of the institute on a regular basis.
Current Scenario
Tansen Sangeet Mahavidyalaya is a unit of Tansen Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) Pvt. Ltd.. Besides other objectives it serves the social cause of making music and performing arts abundantly available across the country.
Sri M. L. Verma is carrying this institution ahead with the able assistance of his sons and grandsons. He has 4 sons, Madan Lal Verma, L. S. Verma, S. K. Verma and K. G. Verma. While the elder two sons have set up their own businesses, the younger two sons along with their spouses are active members of this institution. They are ably assisted by their nephews Mr. Ravi Kumar Verma, Mr. D. K. Verma and Mr. V. K. Verma.
So far, thousands of students have been trained and a good many of them have attained professional success in their career. To provide our students competitive opportunities in line with the tradition, TSM regularly organizes a number of stage shows and programmes, at the state and national levels by the name of “Sangeet Pratiyogita”. This series of stage performances started way back in 1975. Subsequently, it was held in 1979, 1984, 1989 and 1995. Then it was renamed and in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 it was held as “Sangeet Pratibha Samaroh”. In 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007 it had another renaming as simply “Sangeet Samaroh” .
The primary objective of these programmes is to:
• Encourage and give real world feel to students.
• Remove the stage fright.
• In effect, the competition becomes a real life training process in itself - the stage etiquettes, how to perform on stage and those little niceties than can make or mar the entire performance, and many other things.
• Regular stage events grooms a person enough for a great performance sans any fear or reservations.
• The programmes are covered by the national and local media – both print and visual.
• This aids in not only promoting the institution but also showcases and propagates the students' talent as well.
