Gitabani Music School

Our music school is located at No. 3/2 in Ambalipura Village. We are just off the Sarjarpur Main Road in Bellandur. It is not like a regular school where you have math and science all day. The feeling here is different. You can hear all sorts of sounds coming from the rooms. One student might be learning the tabla while another is practicing the harmonium or singing. We have been here in this building for some time now. It is a modest place with a few rooms set aside for different classes. Most of our activity happens in the evenings and on the weekends. That is when the students have time to come. We have a lot of kids from the nearby apartments but some adults come too. It is a bit of a walk from the main road if you are not driving. The area has changed so much with all the new buildings but we have kept our space simple. We have mats on the floor for people to sit on while they play. We don't have a lot of high-tech equipment. It is mostly traditional teaching. The teachers are very patient. They spend a lot of time going over the same notes with the new students. It takes a long time to learn an instrument well. We just provide a quiet spot for the community to come and learn music at their own pace.
