About Indian Classical Music Classes
Why Music Means Everything Here
For us, music is not just about notes or theory. It’s that feeling you get when a keerthana gives you goosebumps, or you lose yourself in a soulful raag. We believe music is for everyone - whether you’re new or already deep into your journey, age doesn’t matter. Like we say in Kannada, “Gaana vilolana nene manave” (Just remember the one who delights in music).
Two Traditions, One Home
We offer both Hindustani and Carnatic music classes.
- Hindustani: Get your start in vocal, bansuri, or tabla. We cover basics to advanced, from khayals to bhajans, and taals like Teentaal.
- Carnatic: Learn vocal (from Sarali Varisai to kritis), mridangam, veena, and violin. We help you understand rhythm, melody, and classic compositions.
Gurus Who Guide, Not Just Teach
Our teachers are experienced artists and real mentors. They guide you, push you, and sometimes, they’ll just let you be with the music till it clicks.
How We Learn Together
- In-person classes, both group and one-on-one
- Balanced focus on theory and live music performance
- Supportive, community vibe — from 4-year-olds to grandparents, and special needs students too
Bringing Out Performers
Regular chances to perform, not just learn. Our annual Kalaa Sangama is a big day where everyone, from shy beginners to advanced students, gets a shot on stage.
Dive Deeper
We host workshops and masterclasses with guest maestros, covering topics like Manodharma (improvisation) and Laya (rhythm) that go way beyond basics.

My Story
We’re World Music Conservatory, started out in namma Bengaluru (our Bangalore) with one simple idea - why pick only Carnatic or just rock? Music is one big family here. Our Gurus, Vidwans and Vidushis, they teach with heart - not just notes, but real stories behind every bhajan or rock riff. Watching our students, from tiny ones holding guitars upside down to teens belting out Judas Priest at Kalaa Sangama, is pure joy. This place, it’s more than a school - it’s our sangama, our tribe.
My Work
Music Classes for All Styles - Carnatic vocal lessons, Hindustani flute classes, Western vocals, beginner guitar for kids, drums, keyboard, and more.
Learn from Real Gurus - Our teachers are true masters, dedicated to guiding students through every raga, riff, and rhythm.
Performance at Kalaa Sangama - Every student gets to perform at our annual Kalaa Sangama music festival - from shy beginners to confident pros.
Music for Every Age - Kids, teens, adults - everyone finds their own sound, whether it’s a bhajan or Indian fusion rock performance.
