WHY IS THIS EVEN AN ISSUE? Trinity is a school of music in INDIA, started perhaps by the British, with a uniform standard all over India.. A R R did level 7 and the day before he was to appear for level 8, he got called by IR. This was in the early 80s. Look at the Stanford video. He was ONE of IR's keyboardists for a while (VIJY MANUEL was the primary one, although he himself thinks he is one of many). G. V Prakash (AR's nephew, son of his sister Reyhana, and programmer) has done all ten levels and so has Yuvan Shankar or Karthik I think. I don't know if ARR had ever been to London before Roja, but certainly his bands did rounds all over India. There are many people on this group who know about trinity. Please do not speculate and/or add non-verified info to his biography. YES THERE IS ALSO A TRINITY COLLEGE IN LONDON.
