Hands-On Instrument Workshops for Kids
Let your little ones move, play, and explore the magic of Indian classical instruments. We turn noisy curiosity into a beautiful connection with music, one instrument at a time.
The wonder of a child meeting a Tanpura for the first time is truly special. Our hands-on approach allows kids to feel the vibrations and understand how each instrument creates its magical sound.

About Hands-On Instrument Workshops
In these workshops, we don’t just watch; we touch and feel. Your child gets a supervised turn to explore the strings of a sitar, the vibrations of a tabla, or the keys of a harmonium. It is about removing the intimidation factor of classical music and replacing it with the simple joy of discovery, where messy, loud, and inquisitive exploration is exactly what we encourage.
More Than Just Music
At ShrotaHouse, our goal isn't to create prodigies overnight; it is to build a lifelong love for Indian classical music. We host 'instrument petting zoos' where children—and yes, parents too—can get hands-on with real, professional-grade instruments. Whether it is the rhythmic resonance of a mridangam or the delicate notes of a sitar, we bring these sounds out of the concert hall and into the classroom.
The ShrotaHouse Approach
We believe that early music education should be sensory-first. Our workshops are designed to be:
- Tactile: Kids get to physically hold and play instruments.
- Story-led: We weave the history and stories of raags into the session, making learning effortless.
- Inclusive: Our floor-seating arrangements create a cozy, non-hierarchical space where everyone is part of the same circle.
Where We Are
We are a mobile community. You will find us partnering with preschools, art cafes, and community centers across Bangalore, from JP Nagar to Whitefield and Koramangala.
