I love the positive vibe at Bamboo Music! Every class feels like a fun jam session. The teachers genuinely care about your growth and are always open to questions and feedback.

Bamboo school provided excellent Hindi lessons. I learned a significant amount in a very short period of time. My instructor quickly taught me a useful set of vocabulary and I was able to create simple sentences by my second lesson. Very helpful. Thanks.

It’s good to be part of Art Gharana, the overall experience is very good, well trained and professional teachers and special thanks to Tejas, support staff is very helpful and cooperative. All the very best to team Art Gharana.

Loved this experience with my lovely, experienced and patient teacher Simoni. The classes were tailored to my interest and ability with Simoni making modifications for my health needs. The videos posted on time for me to practice and she was superb in offering constructive feedback. Simoni was also very punctual. I will definitely take another class with her in future.

The teacher has eccellent skills in teaching. She makes sure you understand the steps with the uploaded viedos. The owner communicates excellent with the teacher and student in setting up the classes. Gharna is an excellent company I recommend them.

The one-on-one format ensures she gets personalized attention, and the support staff has been very responsive and helpful throughout. I couldn’t be happier with her progress and enthusiasm for music!

I am based out of Wisconsin, US and my initial thought that learning music through web portal would not be possible has been proved wrong. Through artgharana.com my dream of learning Indian classical music has become a reality. The teacher (Mrs Anju Pandey) has been instrumental in making this possible by providing classes customized to my needs and requirements. I am grateful to her for her support and encouragement. I hope to continue on this beautiful musical journey carved by Artgharana.com

Art Gharana is excellent. The teachers are really great and the way of teaching is so grate that I never felt me that I am missing in-person physical classes.

I truly consider myself fortunate to learn Hindustani classical vocals from Pallavi didi. I truly admire her legitimate love of music, her warm enthusiastic and patient personality that ensures I learn the most important fundamental elements of music in a systematic fashion and her inspiring teaching method fosters a love singing/music and sets the bar high. She embodies and inculcates discipline so that I truly can be self-sufficient and independent singer/musician. Didi genuinely makes each singing class fun, interesting and empowering. I truly look forward to my weekly singing sessions with my awesome teacher who over a period of 10 months has become a dear friend

Didi (Pallavi Mehta) is a joy to learn from. I have been her student since May and have taken exclusively online classes from her. Didi has a long history of teaching and understood clearly the level I entered at. She has a deep repertoire of sitar music and is flexible in her teaching style. In addition to being a knowledgeable and accommodating teacher, she is also a very positive person and I look forward to all of our lessons together.

My name is Veena Nair, I joined Soor Academy in 1995, and then moved to Dubai, from where I pursued my learnings with Pallavi Mehta whose tireless effort of teaching even when I was far away in Dubai, it seemed not so far away. An institution in itself has not only brought the beautiful instrument sitar into my life, it also teaches me values of humility. Thank you Pallavi ji for your dedication with me from so faraway.

I was always fascinated by the beautiful instrument that Sitar is, I started taking classes in the eleventh standard but that was for a short while as the pressure of my class XII board exams took over. Subsequently I graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore in 2010 and started working at a law firm in Bombay. My fascination for the seven stringed beauty resurfaced and I found an excellent guru in Pallavi didi to guide me in learning the Sitar. My days at Soor Academy have been joyful and merry. However, I shifted to Chennai after a year but I am glad that I have continued to take classes from Pallavi Didi over Skype. I hope my association with Soor Academy lasts for a lifetime.

Hello, I am Anuradha Shyam Joshi. I am a housewife and 44 years old. I am truly fond of music and love to play the Sitar. Guruma, Pallavi Mehtaji is training me in Sitar since the last one and half years. I am very satisfied and happy with the kind of training imparted to me through her training process. I am very happy to have such a 'Guru'. Due to her encouragement, friendly and cooperative nature, I am able to travel from Chiplun (Ratnagiri, Konkan) to take monthly lessons at the Soor Academy without any hassles.

Pallaviben's dedication to her students is simply unmatched! She is not only flexible with her schedule, but is incredibly patient, resourceful and knowledgeable. Pallaviben's caliber, her drive and her commitment to the art of teaching music is apparent on the first day of class. I believe myself to be very fortunate to be her student.

I am a French Mathematician, passionate about Indian culture and specially Indian classical music. I took some lessons of Sitar in Mumbai, with Pallavi Mehta, but as I live in Paris, 7000 km from there, I also wanted to practice when I was back home. It is a real pleasure to be one of her online students, because Pallavi is a great teacher. She always gives the best of herself, and online lessons are exactly as the ones I took in Mumbai. With Skype and a webcam, it's easy to follow her explanations, to listen to her when she plays, to see the right position for hands or fingers, and to play with her. Each lesson is one hour long. Pallavi follows my work and checks the details as well as the global way I play. I like this because I think it is the best way to make progress. It is an honour and a pleasure to be her student.
