Mangaluru : Mandd Sobhann mentors the Talents and provides a Platform. The training I got here has great contribution in the name and fame I have achieved. We should constantly learn, use every opportunity. If you learn well here and excel, you’ll be in the spotlight. When you learn Classical Music, when you get opportunities to sing for CDs, for Films, for Stage Performances, you’ll realize the value of Sur Sobhann. These were the words of Soad-4 winner (Rani Kogull) Jacqueline Fernandes during the inauguration of Children’s Vocal Training Program – Sur Sobhann, at Kalaangann on Sunday, August 18.
