Saregama Music Academy

Our academy is tucked away in Dwarikapuri, right behind Agra Road in Aligarh. It’s near the Achal Taal area, so it’s easy to find if you know the local landmarks. We have a few rooms dedicated to different instruments. You might hear someone practicing the harmonium in one room while a guitar is being tuned in another. It’s not a huge place, just a few rooms we’ve set up for teaching music. The walls are a bit thin, so the sounds tend to mix together in the hallway. We have old chairs and some mats on the floor where students sit. Aligarh can be quite busy, but once you get inside, it’s a bit more relaxed. We don't have any high-tech recording studios or anything like that. It’s just us and the instruments. Most of the people who come here live in the neighborhood or nearby. We spend our evenings going through scales and songs. Sometimes the instruments need a bit of repair, so we have tools lying around. The light in the hallway is a bit dim, but we haven't gotten around to changing the bulb yet. It’s a very casual environment. We don't have a big staff, just a few people who know their way around a melody. It’s been our little spot in Dwarikapuri for quite some time now, and we're used to the rhythm of it. We just keep the doors open for anyone who wants to learn.
