Our Class

My daughter has made excellent progress and is enjoying her lessons. She has shown commendable growth under them. They have broadened her appreciation of music by introducing her to our traditional classical music. As a parent I am very much satisfied with her growth and feel that her future is secured with Gurukul Sangeetalaya.

I have learned so much from Gurukul Sangeetalaya about Tablas. I started off really into rock and contemporary music, but have learned to appreciate and respect classical Tablas and in fact, the understanding of the classical modes has improved my ear. This is an extra ordinary place to learn our Indian Classical Music.
