Panchee School of Music also gets specific praise for keyboard instruction from teacher Ashwin Sir, with parents noting their 6-year-old's enjoyment and progress. Phadke Music Classes, Naad Gandh, and Swarmayee are top-rated for Indian classical instruments (sitar, tabla, Hindustani). Antarnaad Kala Academy focuses on classical and devotional singing. Nishaad Music House is primarily an instrument store that also offers some lessons.
💡 InTune Music Lessons operates from a residential address — call 080079 09290 before visiting as there is no walk-in access. For children aged 5-7 starting keyboard from scratch, ask Aditya Sir specifically about beginner batches and whether they use the Trinity/Rockschool graded syllabus or a custom curriculum.
