Chennai: Artium Academy, a trailblazer in music education, is delighted to announce its second offline music center in Chennai. The new academy opened its doors on October 12, 2024, in Thoraipakkam, OMR, marking a significant milestone in the academy’s ambitious expansion plans.

Since its inception, the Alwarpet center has flourished, now boasting over 350 active learners. The decision to expand to the OMR region is a direct response to the growing demand from music enthusiasts in Thoraipakkam and surrounding areas, including Pallikaranai, Velachery, Sholinganallur, Perungudi, and Karapakkam.
KS Chithra expressed her enthusiasm for the new centre, saying, “I am overjoyed to see Artium Academy launching 2nd offline centers in my beloved city of Chennai. I feel immensely proud to be associated with an institution that is revolutionizing music education. The blend of traditional teaching methods with cutting-edge technology that Artium offers is truly remarkable. It is more than just learning music; it is about discovering oneself through the universal language of melody and rhythm. I wholeheartedly encourage all music enthusiasts, regardless of age or background, to come and experience the transformative journey of learning music with us.”
Vivek Raicha, co-founder of Artium Academy, added, “Chennai’s overwhelming demand for our courses and the trust of its music-loving community made it the perfect choice for our expansion. We are thrilled to bring Artium Academy’s innovative ‘Phygital’ music education to OMR, making quality music education accessible to all. Our interactive dashboard and practice studio with real-time feedback allow students to refine their skills at their own pace, blending the best of technology with personal instruction. This expansion reflects our commitment to nurturing musical talent and fostering a vibrant community of learners across Chennai.”
The Thoraipakkam Academy will offer state-of-the-art facilities and top-quality musical instruments from leading manufacturers. Artium’s curriculum, crafted by renowned Maestros including Ananth Vaidyanathan, KS Chithra, Aruna Sairam, and Shubha Mudgal, passes down decades of musical wisdom. The academy’s teachers are handpicked and meticulously groomed to provide an unparalleled learning experience.
The strategic location of the new academy in Thoraipakkam, OMR, aims to serve a broad audience including children, students, working professionals, parents, and retired individuals.
