Asian Himalaya Music School Background: Nepal is a small country with cultural diversity. Once, it was a saying that in Nepal, there are as many temples as there are houses and as many gods and goddesses as there are people. The people follow different costumes and practices regarding their ethnic group. Though Nepal is rich in different types of people and their culture, it has not yet been able to make known fully of its heritages to the rest of the world. Nepalese people are introverted in the sense that they play and perform different cultural practices; they are reluctant to bring such practices out of their communities. The geography of Nepal is unique. Though it is small in size, it extends to the altitude of 8848 (Mt. Everest) in the North and to the sea level to its South. There are mountains, valleys and plains where different ethnic groups inhibit. They have their own culture and costumes. They have different festivals and cultural performances for their festivals. Introduction: Asian Himalaya Music School was established in 1994 by a team of renowned Nepali cultural artists, with a view to explore, study and preserve Nepali traditional music and dances. The school is duly registered and recognized by the Government of Nepal (Regd. No. 25027). The music school conducts traditional and modern music, dance and vocal classes everyday except Saturday and government holidays. Performing art in different occasion is another concern of this organization. Nepal, though a small country has numbers of tribes, all rich in their culture. We make different cultural performances representing different tribes with their traditional dress, musical instruments, and dance practices.

The traditional instruments we teach to play are of wide range representing different ethnic groups of Nepal. Madal, Saarangi, Damphu, Binayo etc are of some instances.

In special cases, if the student needs an individual instructor, the school provides the instructor with extra fees.
