BEAMS (Believe for Educational Advancement through Music Scholarship) is a program Believe India co-developed with the NGO Manzil Mystics, an organization dedicated to using music to drive social change.

BEAMS celebrated the graduation of their first batch in August 2024! Let’s deep-dive into the program and its impact!

BEAMS projects contribute to one of the four key pillars of Shaping Music for Good, our CSR strategy: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

 BEAMS in a few words …

The purpose of this project is to provide a platform for students from low socio- economic background to showcase their talent while providing opportunities for them to learn music and enhance their leadership and employability skills in the Music Industry.

BEAMS is composed of 3 components:

• BEAMS Fellowship: Upskilling of 10 BEAMS fellows

• PANKH School programme: Providing students access to music education while using music as a tool to learn

• BEAMS Short-term certification: 3-month long short-term certification courses on various topics

10 fellows graduated in August 2024!

After 2 years in the program, rhythmed by +20 hours each week with not only music education, but also English & communication classes, math & computer sessions, and mental wellbeing learnings, the 10 young talents graduated and were placed in organization that they desired within the music industry.

Impact of the BEAMS Project

• During these 2 years, they produced +30 songs & performed in +64 live concerts attended by +10 000 persons.

• Additionally, each fellow was paired with a mentor (all established musicians in the field) to further enhance their skills, tailored to their specific interests, provided guidance and refine their musical abilities.
