Thanks for your interest in music lessons! I offer my experience as a performing pianist, active collaborator, composer, and student of music, to help shape your learning path and artistry.

Based in Bangalore, I am an internationally active pianist, composer and teacher with two decades of professional experience in the areas of world music, jazz, and contemporary improvised music. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2007, and have since been a returning faculty member at the Global Music Institute (India).

Teaching has been a rewarding aspect of my career, allowing me to contribute to India’s music scene at a roots level. Most of my students are intermediate/professional musicians, seeking to expand their musical horizons through a deeper understanding of harmony, rhythm, improvisation, and global musical influences.

The focus will be on expression through creative, interactive music, for which we’ll explore fundamentals along with contemporary/jazz repertoire.

Application

To apply, write to amanspianostudio@gmail.com outlining your journey, some links to your music, and your goals with these lessons.

Format

Classes are 55 mins each – in person preferred, but also online.
Along with repertoire, we’ll focus on specific study topics each week.
After each lesson, you’ll receive a summary of class topics and assignments due.
Please be prepared for a good amount of independent work: practice, recordings, and online research/explorations.

Fees

₹9,000 for a four-lesson package (monthly schedule, due beginning of the month)

Scheduling

Classes are usually held on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Google Calendar will be used for scheduling.
Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule, please contact me more than 48 hours in advance, so another student can be given your slot. I might not be able to reschedule with shorter notice. If I have to reschedule, I will notify you well in advance.

All the best on your journey with music!
