Overview

Founded in 2010 by Dr. Ahmad Sarmast, Afghanistan’s National Institute of Music is the first and finest institution for the education and nurturing of gifted young Afghan musicians. The national institute of music is committed to providing a dynamic, challenging and safe learning environment for all students regardless of gender, ethnicity or social circumstances.

Their main focus is to support the most disadvantaged group in Afghan society – the orphans and street working kids – to help them attain a vocation that will allow them to reach their full potential, while contributing to their emotional healing. Afghanistan’s National Institute of Music helps their student to gain the skills, creative vision and confidence to contribute to the artistic, social and cultural life of Afghanistan, and the rebuilding and revival of Afghan music traditions. Afghanistan’s National Institute of Music is the model for future music schools and colleges to be built throughout Afghanistan.
