The whole process, start to finish

How lessons here actually work

No trial period to sign up for, no course to buy before you have spoken to anyone. You start with a free demo class, and every step after that is decided with a teacher who has already heard you play.

Six steps

From first enquiry to playing properly

Nothing here is automated. A person reads your enquiry, a person teaches the class, and a person writes the notes afterwards.

  1. Free · 30 minutes

    Book a free demo class

    Thirty minutes, one-on-one, over a video call. No card and no obligation. You meet the teacher, talk about what you want to play, and get your hands on the instrument.

  2. No test, no pressure

    The teacher works out your level and recommends a course

    During the demo the teacher listens to what you can already do and where the gaps are. Afterwards you get a written recommendation: which subject, which level, and what the first few weeks would cover.

  3. 3, 6 or 12 months

    Pick a class bundle

    Classes are bought in bundles rather than one at a time, so the teacher can plan a real syllabus instead of a series of unconnected lessons. Each bundle comes with a validity window that is longer than the bundle itself, so a busy month does not burn your classes.

  4. Same teacher, same slot

    Weekly one-on-one classes with your assigned teacher

    The same teacher every week, at a slot that fits your timezone. Never a group class, never a pre-recorded video. The lesson is built around what you played last week and what you want to play next.

  5. Sent after every class

    Practice material and resources between classes

    You leave each class with something specific to work on: the exercise, the tempo, the bars that need attention. Song notations, chord charts, backing tracks and theory sheets are shared as you need them.

  6. Optional exam route

    Progress reviews, and Trinity exam prep if you want it

    Every few months the teacher steps back and reviews the whole picture: what has improved, what has stalled, and what changes next. If a graded exam is the goal, preparation is folded into the same weekly classes.

Bundles run 3, 6, 12 months — 3 months is 24 classes, valid 4 months; 6 months is 48 classes, valid 8 months; 12 months is 96 classes, valid 15 months. What each bundle costs is listed on the individual course pages, in your own currency.

Inside the class

What a class actually looks like

It is a video call, but it is not a webinar. Most of the half hour is you playing and the teacher stopping you.

You join from a link — no app to install and no account to create. The teacher opens with what you worked on last week: play it, and they listen. What comes next depends entirely on what they hear.

Notation is shared on screen and marked up live, so you are both looking at the same bar of the same piece. When something is not working, the teacher plays it themselves so you can hear the difference, then watches you copy it.

Your camera is pointed at your hands as much as your face. Fingering, posture, wrist angle, stick grip, breathing — most of what goes wrong early on is physical, and it can only be fixed if the teacher can see it.

  • Shared notation, marked live

    Sheet music, chord charts and tab on screen, annotated as you go and sent to you afterwards.

  • The teacher watches your hands

    Fingering and posture get corrected in the moment, before they set into a habit you have to unlearn.

  • Notes after every class

    What to practise, at what tempo, and how many times. Specific enough that a parent can check it.

  • Recordings when they help

    A short clip of the teacher playing the passage, so you have a reference to copy during the week.

Before your first class

What you need at home

Four things, and you probably own three of them already.

  • A device with a camera

    A laptop is easiest because the screen is big enough to read notation. A tablet or a phone on a stand works, as long as the camera can see your hands and your instrument.

  • A steady internet connection

    Anything that holds a normal video call is enough. If your connection is patchy, plug into the router or move closer to it before class rather than during it.

  • The instrument itself

    You need the real thing at home to practise between classes. Every subject page lists exactly what to get, and the teacher will tell you in the demo if what you already own is fine.

  • Headphones

    Wired headphones are best. They stop the sound looping back through the microphone, which matters a lot when the teacher is listening to your tone and timing.

Not sure whether the keyboard in the cupboard is good enough, or which guitar to buy first? Ask in the demo. Telling you to spend less is a perfectly normal answer. Each subject page lists the kit in detail.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if we miss a class?
Tell your teacher before the class rather than after it, and the class is moved rather than lost. Bundles also carry a validity window that runs well beyond the bundle length — a three-month bundle is valid for four months, six for eight, twelve for fifteen — so exam weeks, holidays and illness have room built in.
Can we change the weekly slot?
Yes. The slot is fixed only so that it becomes a habit, not because it is locked. If school hours, work or a change of timezone means the slot no longer works, message your teacher and you settle on a new one together.
How long is each class?
Your teacher confirms the class length with you when you start, because it depends on the subject and the age of the student. Younger beginners usually make faster progress with shorter, more frequent classes; older and more advanced students tend to want longer ones. The free demo runs 30 minutes.
Who will actually be teaching?
Yash Shandilya, the founder, still teaches classes himself and designs every course in the curriculum. Alongside him is a small team of teachers, and you are matched to the one who fits the subject, the age of the student and the timezone. You meet that teacher in the demo — the person on the demo call is the person who teaches you.
Is it really one-on-one, or a small group?
One-on-one, every class. There is no group option and no recorded course to work through alone. That is the whole point of the format: the teacher watches your hands, hears every mistake, and corrects it in the moment.
What if the internet drops in the middle of a class?
It happens. The teacher waits and calls back, and the time lost is made up either in that class or the next one. If a connection is bad enough that the class cannot usefully run, it is rescheduled rather than counted.
Do you teach students outside India?
Yes. Classes are online and scheduled in your timezone. The school currently teaches and prices for India, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Philippines, Brazil and Hungary.
Can a complete beginner start, or do we need some background?
Complete beginners are the most common starting point. Every subject has a Level 1 course written for someone who has never touched the instrument, and the demo exists precisely so nobody has to guess where to begin.
