Our school is located on the second floor at number 151 in Faridabad City. You have to walk up a couple of flights of stairs to get to us. It’s a music place, so as soon as you get near the door, you can hear the sound of sitars, tablas, or someone practicing their singing. It can be a bit of a jumble of noises when all the classes are going at once, but we like it that way. The rooms are basic, just some mats on the floor and a few chairs for the teachers. We have instruments leaning against the walls in the hallway. It’s not a shiny conservatory. It’s just a place where kids and adults from the neighborhood come to learn some music. The walls have a few pictures of famous musicians, but they are getting a bit yellow with age. We spend a lot of time tuning the instruments and talking to parents. Sometimes the fans don't work as well as they should in the summer, but nobody seems to mind much once the music starts. We focus on the practice. We aren't here to be a big fancy institution. We just help people learn their scales and songs. It’s a humble setup. We’ve been here for a good while and the stairs still creak a bit, but it feels like home to us every day.
