Boss School Method
During its tenure, the Mumbai-based Boss School of Music developed a proprietary method of education using audio-visual technology, simplified concepts and specially designed musical equipment. They trained novice students for standardized electronic keyboard graded examinations conducted by Trinity College London, requiring only 3-6 months of training using their methods, which otherwise required upto 8 years of training using traditional methods. Dr. Vidyadhar Vyas, Head of the Music Department at the University of Mumbai claimed that they "revolutionized" music learning by teaching complex musical concepts in short periods of time. They also trained a few young children between ages 6 and 10 for the Grade 8 Electronic Keyboard examination conducted by Trinity College, and after they passed the examination they were reportedly considered child prodigies. Although their method is not formally documented, various notable musicians in Mumbai such as Louis Banks agreed that the school had developed a "revolutionary technique".
