Meet our Music Together teachers
Our classes are led by early childhood music specialists who bring joy, rhythm, and a lot of heart into every circle.
This is me, Priyanka Seth Pandit. I'm a Columbia University alumna, a published children's author, and the founder of India's first Music Together program. My passion is sharing the joy of music with families.
Meet our wonderful teacher, Ria. Here she is singing a fun song about the animals on her farm. Her energy and bright smile make every class a delight.
Here I am with our teacher Karen, ready for a Christmas music workshop. We love working together to bring interactive and fun musical experiences to schools and communities.
Our teacher Ria sings the "Goodbye Song" with her ukulele. This is how we end every class, with a gentle song that brings a sense of closure and a promise to make music together again soon.
Watch our teacher Ria get creative with the "Splishing and Splashing" song. She expertly switches between different rhythms, showing how we make learning musical concepts feel like play.
Here's Ria with her ukulele, singing the catchy "Tingalayo" song about a little donkey. Her performances are always so engaging and fun for the children.
Ria sings a song about fruits and ice cream, using different hand actions for each phrase. This technique helps children remember the melody by associating it with a movement.
Listening is one of the most important musical skills. Here, Ria sings a lullaby without words, encouraging us all to take a quiet moment and just listen to the melody.
Ria sings "There's a little wheel a-turnin' in my heart," a song that allows children to imagine all the things they want to be when they grow up. It's a beautiful song for self-expression.
Ria demonstrates the "I Have a Little Frog" rhyme, using different voices and rhythms for the little frog and the great big frog. This playfulness encourages children to explore their own vocal range.
About Meet Our Teachers
It is not just about hitting the right notes here. Our teachers—including Priyanka, Ria, and Karen—are trained to facilitate rather than perform. You will notice in class that they do not just stand at the front; they sit in the circle with you, using music to bridge the gap between 'I can't sing' and 'we are making magic together.' Whether it is a silly frog rhyme or a quiet lullaby, their goal is to make you and your child feel safe enough to experiment, explore, and find your own musical voice.
Our Approach to Teaching
At The Music Circle, we believe that every child is musical. Our teachers are not here to put on a show for your kids; they are here to show you how to lead the music-making at home. Every facilitator is trained in the Music Together curriculum, which emphasizes participation over perfection.
Why Our Team Matters
- We are facilitators, not entertainers: We know that a child's most important teacher is their parent. Our role is to create a comfortable, low-pressure environment where you feel confident singing, dancing, and playing, even if you think you lack a 'musical ear.'
- We focus on development: You will see us using songs to help with motor skills, language acquisition, and social bonding. We do not just sing a song; we use the rhythm to teach concepts of beat, tempo, and vocal range, all while keeping it playful.
- We are real people: Our teachers are moms, musicians, and educators who understand the chaos of raising kids in Mumbai. We embrace the noise, the dropped instruments, and the spontaneous moments in class.
The Faces Behind the Circle
Led by founder Priyanka Seth Pandit—who brought the Music Together program to India—our team is united by a simple philosophy: music is a basic need, not a luxury. Whether it is Ria leading a farm animal song or Karen teaching a lullaby, you will find a consistent, warm energy across all our studio locations in Bandra, Kemps Corner, Prabhadevi, and Worli.
