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".

Famous quotes containing the words boss, school and/or method:
“When the boss isn’t strict, the workers aren’t busy.”
—Chinese proverb.
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
““English! they are barbarians; they don’t believe in the great God.” I told him, “Excuse me, Sir. We do believe in God, and in Jesus Christ too.” “Um,” says he, “and in the Pope?” “No.” “And why?” This was a puzzling question in these circumstances.... I thought I would try a method of my own, and very gravely replied, “Because we are too far off.” A very new argument against the universal infallibility of the Pope.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
