About On-site Music Workshops & Events
Why I Do This
Music is more than notes and beats for me. I want everyone, especially kids, to feel the vibe of Shastriya Sangeet, not just hear it. With ShrotaHouse, I take the music out of the concert hall and bring it straight to your space, making every session friendly and open - not strict or old-school.
What To Expect
- I show up with everything needed - artists, instruments, even art supplies sometimes.
- You’ll get live Indian music performances (both Hindustani and Carnatic).
- Kids can actually touch, play, and explore instruments like Tabla, Veena, and Sitar.
- We use games and stories to teach basics like 'Laya' (rhythm), so no boring lectures.
- Sometimes we throw in fun stuff like making clay keychains or painting a huge mural, all with a musical twist.
Who’s It For?
If you’re curious about music, you’re welcome. My workshops are best for:
- Families with kids (3-8 years)
- Schools & preschools who want school music education workshops with a difference
- Community spaces, libraries, or anyone organizing a group event
Special Programs
- Musical Book Tour: Mixes story time, music, and art - all about Indian instruments
- Wonderful Vaadya Project: Kids get hands-on instrument exploration, guided by real musicians
Where I Go
Mostly in Bangalore, but I’ve done events in Chennai too. If you want ShrotaHouse in your city, just ask.
What Matters Most
It’s about building a music-loving community, not just running a workshop. I want kids (and grown-ups) to find joy, connection, and maybe a bit of wonder every time we meet.

My Story
Music’s been in our bones since childhood—me singing, my brother on tabla, making chaos at home. That joy stuck with me. From IIT Mumbai music talks to swapping raag stories with legends, life’s been a wild ride. ShrotaHouse grew from that love—incubated at IIM Bangalore, now it’s our family. The magic’s real when a toddler hugs me and says, 'I’m your co-founder.' We’re building more than classes, it’s a home for music.
My Work
Musical Experiences for Kids & Families - We offer parent-child Jaltarang camp, Carnatic and Hindustani classes, Wonderful Vaadya Project, and the Color & Learn with Little Bajo activity book.
Our Teaching Style - We don’t just teach notes. It’s stories, instruments, and feeling—making music playful and personal for every child.
Family Bonding Through Music - Sessions are for kids and parents together. Everyone learns, everyone laughs. Even grown-ups find their inner musician.
Our Community Vibe - Join us, and you’re Shrota family—celebrating, cheering, and creating beautiful moments. Once a Shrota, always a Shrota.
