In this insightful episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham engages in an inspiring dialogue with Milton Lance, an entrepreneur hailing from Bangalore, driven by a profound passion for music and entrepreneurship. Milton's journey as the Founder and Director of The Music School Bangalore, a premier music institution in India, is a tale of unwavering determination. Though uncertain of his entrepreneurial path initially, his profound love for music and formal training in drums during college sparked a vision. Graduating from St. Aloysius College, Mangalore, he embarked on a transformative journey. Armed with formal music training, including drum studies in college and UK board examinations from 2008 to 2010 with Fraternity, UK, Milton honed his skills through YouTube videos and DVD lessons. As a visually impaired individual battling Stargardt Disease, with significant central vision loss but a resilient spirit, Milton joined Baldwin High School as a music teacher. His practice sessions during lunchtime caught the attention of students, resulting in a viral video on Facebook. This unexpected publicity led to an influx of inquiries and offers to teach drums, compelling Milton to initiate one-on one sessions in a small room with an electric drum set. From this modest beginning as the Drum School Bangalore, Milton's venture expanded gradually. Collaborating with friends skilled in other musical instruments, he transformed the school into The Music School Bangalore. The institution's growth was remarkable, offering full-time programs ranging from level 3 extended programs to level 5 second-year bachelor's degrees and gaining accreditation from the UK for vocational qualifications. Additionally, the school facilitates training and credit transfer programs with international universities. Milton is launching TMSB Records, set to showcase original works on their YouTube channel with student and artist compositions. He adeptly utilizes magnification technology, finding solace in its support since discovering his eye condition in second grade. His path intertwined with his future wife's during martial arts sessions in 8th grade, where their shared passion for karate blossomed into a lasting relationship that culminated in marriage. United not only by their martial arts journey but also by a fervent love for swimming and sailing, they share an unbreakable bond forged through their mutual aquatic pursuits. Join us to discover Milton's remarkable journey, from overcoming challenges with Stargardt Disease to his passion for music education and a unique love story rooted in martial arts.
