Double Oscar winner AR.Rahman delighted three students with music scholar ships at Berklee College of Music. Rahman after presenting the scholarships speaking at the event said "I think it's a new beginning for many things to follow. I've always been wondering why is it so difficult to learn Western music here. So by this initiative many doors are going to open, many musical leaders being born who can put the knowledge of Western music and the whole infrastructure could even spread the Indian music to a wider extent. I hope it expands amazingly well,"
Berklee College sometime back awarded Rahman honorary doctorate in 2014. Each of the three students come from Assam,Uttarakhand and New Delhi respectively. About the scholar ship Rahman said "Knowledge can change everything. These three going there and coming back with so much knowledge, not only in music, but culture and your minds will get opened. Hopefully they'll come back and make a difference."
Star producer Arbaaz Khan also attended the event held in Mumbai. The Berklee COllege of Music has been operating for over 70 years.
Rahman recently composed musci for 127 hours and recently tuned for Pele: Birth of a Legend. He also is scoring music for international projects.
