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

Based in Bangalore, I am an internationally active pianist, composer and music teacher with two decades of professional experience in the areas of world music, jazz, and contemporary improvised music. I graduated from the Berklee College of Music (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 jazz 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.

Format

Classes are 55 mins each, held in person or 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, via google sheets.
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

The class schedule will be available to you via google calendar. I teach on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
If you need to cancel, contact me more than 48 hours in advance, so another student can get that slot. Classes cancelled late will unfortunately be forfeited.
If I have to reschedule, I will notify you well in advance.

Application

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

All the best on your musical journey!
