100 Students Enrolled in TANA-SPMVV Music Courses in Dallas, TX

 

Dallas, TX: TANA President Dr. Jampala Chowdary in a press conference told that “We are pleased to announce that TANA has partnered with well reputed Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (SPMVV), Tirupati, AP, India to offer advanced diplomas with majors in Music (Vocal / Instrumental) and Dance (Kuchipudi / Bharatanatyam). This is another step in TANA’s efforts to preserve and propagate our culture in North America. I commend SPMVV Officials and our former TANA President, Dr. Prasad Thotakura, Chairman – TANA International Educational Affiliation for his relentless efforts to make this happen by working several months with SPMVV authorities.”

Dr. Prasad Thotakura, Chairman – TANA International Educational Affiliation, stated that “It is a milestone in the 40 year history of TANA to partner with SPMVV, a university which is founded in 1983 by Former Chief Minister Sri Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao garu. Students in North America by following SPMVV curriculum can take exams in USA and qualify to get University Diploma Certificates after completion of all four levels. I personally thank Professor V. Durga Bhavani, Vice-Chancellor SPMVV, Prof. D. Sarada, Dean of SPMVV and all other Staff members for their cooperation to realize the long cherished dream of NRIs. This is a great opportunity for NRI Students to learn music and get certification from a reputed university like SPMVV. I urge all interested students to avail this opportunity and enroll immediately.”

Mrs. Meenakshi Anipindi, TANA National Music Coordinator, told that “This is a great opportunity for music students to take exams in USA instead of travelling to India to get certification there by saving lot of time and money. I request all parents and music teachers across North America to encourage their children to register in Level 1 and Level 2 for this year immediately. It gives me an immense pleasure to work with TANA especially a visionary, dynamic leader, Former TANA President Dr. Prasad Thotakura to take this initiative forward.”

TANA launched registration drive in Dallas (Touch Nine Restaurant Banquet Hall) on March 5, 2017 where close to hundred students enrolled on the spot enthusiastically into Level 1 and Level 2 Vocal Music Courses.
