# Little Ustaads

We introduce children from 6 months old to the world of Indian Classical music through playful songs, movement, and hands-on instruments. Our method is built on one simple belief: fun and education go hand in hand.

### My story

We are Little Ustaads. Been at this since 2008 - sharing Indian classical music with tiny tots, even 6-month-old babies! No boring lessons here, just singing, dancing, messy hands, and lots of mini instruments. Watching kiddos grab a tiny Tabla or Manjira, their faces light up - wah! Started in Mumbai, now our little ustaads jam in Jaipur, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco. One playful music seed at a time, bas (that's it).

### My work

- **Indian classical music and movement classes**: We run playful sessions for infants and toddlers (6 months to 5 years), mixing music, dance, and culture.
- **Little Ustaads Method**: Fun and learning together! Kids explore raags, taals, sargams through songs, visuals, and playful music learning for infants.
- **Hands-on music instruments for kids**: Children touch and play mini Tabla, Manjira, and other instruments - real hands-on music discovery.
- **Toddler music jam session**: Free-play jamming - kids pick any instrument, make noise, have a blast. Pure joy!
- **Namaste Series children's books**: Our own illustrated books, introducing culture and music to little ones. Available for purchase.
