Ghungroo Music School

Ghungroo Music School is a small spot tucked away on No.43/4, 5th Cross in Banashanakari. We are right off 1st Main in the Banashankari 3rd Stage area of Bangalore. It isn't a big institution with fancy stages or recording studios. It is mostly just a few rooms where we keep the instruments and teach the classes. You can usually hear someone practicing the tabla or the harmonium from the street outside. We have students of all ages coming in. Some are little kids whose parents want them to learn traditional music and some are older folks who just want a new hobby. The floors are covered with mats because we like to sit down while we play our music. It is a very informal environment. Sometimes the classes run late and we just keep going until the piece is finished. We don't have a big front desk or a secretary answering phones. Usually you just walk in and find a teacher in one of the back rooms. The instruments are old and have been used by many hands over the years. We spend a lot of time tuning strings and fixing broken reeds on the harmoniums. It is a quiet life compared to the noisy city outside our door. We don't do much advertising because people usually hear about us from their neighbors. If you want to learn some music and don't mind a small space then this is where we are.
