You are meeting someone who remembers exactly what it felt like to press that first piano key, whether it was on a family upright or during a childhood choir practice. We believe this shared history of learning makes our teaching more patient, relatable, and human. Our teaching philosophy at Solfege Academy is built on the belief that music is an emotional language, not just a technical skill. This is why our team doesn't just teach theory; we share the experiences that made us musicians. Take our founder, Leena Mistry, for example. Her passion for the piano started with her father's eclectic vinyl collection, turning a curiosity into a lifelong relationship with the instrument. Similarly, teacher Rhea Paula D'Souza remembers the specific Hamilton upright piano in her childhood home in Bandra, where her father guided her hands to find the melody. These memories are the foundation of our classes. We bring this same personal approach to our students. Havilah D'Sa, who grew up in a family of musicians and started her journey in a church choir at age five, understands the value of a solid, rhythmic foundation. Meanwhile, Fay Gonsalves, guided by her grandfather and a drummer father, knows how vital it is to feel the beat. Whether you are looking for private piano lessons, early childhood music education, or a collaborative workshop, you will find that our instructors are here to support your personal musical growth. We invite you to drop by our studio in Bandra West, see the space, and chat with us about your goals. We would love to help you or your child find that same joy in music that we found as kids. ## About Solfege Academy Solfege feels like home, and we want you to feel that same warmth when you join us. We are a group of educators who grew up surrounded by music, from vinyl stashes to family jam sessions, and we bring that genuine joy into our Bandra studio every single day.
