Bhavan's Bharatiya Sangeet & Nartan Shikshapeeth was established by Bhavan's Founder Kulapati Dr. K. M. Munshi with the help of India's foremost musicologist Acharya Dr. Srikrishna Narayan Ratanjankar in 1946.
The Founder's ideal was to establish a center where all Indian traditional classical performing arts would be taught and preserved as this was one of Bhavan's prime cultural objectives. Acharya Ratanjankar was one of the most respected academicians in the field of Hindustani classical music and also the Head of the Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyapeeth, Lucknow.

Dhruba Ghosh (sarangi player, vocalist and composer and a Grammy Award winner 2010). The present Principal is Smt. Meera Chikhalikar.
The Institution had grand masters as faculty members. Tabla Maestro Ustad Allah Rakha, Ustad Mohammed Khan (Rudra Veena Maestro), Pt. S. C. R. Bhatt. Dr. K. G. Ginde and other veterans uptil the 1960s.
