Krishna Sangeet Vidhyalaya

We set up our music school here in the Hadapsar Industrial Estate because there was a need for something creative in this part of town. It’s mostly factories and offices around here, so having a place to come and play an instrument is a nice change of pace. We teach a bit of everything, from classical singing to harmonium and tabla. It’s not a fancy conservatory with marble floors, just a few rooms where people can sit and practice. We have students who come in after their shifts in the industrial area or kids from nearby who come after school. The sound of music coming out of the windows is quite common throughout the afternoon. We don't have a strict, rigid way of doing things; we just try to help people enjoy the music. Sometimes the notes aren't perfect, and that is fine. Learning an instrument takes a lot of time and patience, and we've got plenty of that. Some of us have been playing since we were children ourselves. We don't spend money on big ads or anything like that. Most people just hear about us from their neighbors or see the sign when they are driving by. It is a quiet, simple place where you can focus on the rhythm and the scales without any distractions from the busy streets outside. We just like seeing people get better at their craft and finding a bit of peace in their day.
