The Bharatiya Sangeet Shikshapeeth was established in 1946 to propagate Indian classical music and dance. Ever since its inception, the Shikshapeeth has endeavoured to fulfil this object. Today, it is known to be one of the best institutions in the field of Hindustan Raag Sangeet. Committed to maintaining high standards of teaching, it has produced some of the best graduates in music and talented performing artistes and teachers, who have occupied high positions in the world of music in India and abroad. The Sangeet Shikshapeeth trains students in Hindustani music, vocal and instrumental, for a five-year degree course of "Sangeet Visharad" (Bachelor of Music) which is conferred by the Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyapeeth, Lucknow, to which it is affiliated.
Besides the classical music courses, hobby classes are also held to teach harmonium, electric guitar and Sugam Sangeet. Since 1988, the Shikshapeeth has been conducting vocal music class for children in the age-group of 6 to 10 years. The Shikshapeeth is recognised by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi, Government of India, and the State Governments of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
