Children who were exposed to music lessons became creative problem-solvers; they experienced improved motor-skills, personal discipline, and became more confident in modes of self-expression.

Yes. You got it right that is around £10 per lesson.

This course provides excellent value for money so that everyone can have access to a high level of teaching.

Most of us have paid anything between £20 - £75 per lesson to learn from a musician with this level of expertise. Since this is our launch phase, we want everyone to benefit at an affordable price.

We all know that with tuition fees, travel time and other expenses, learning music becomes very expensive.

Darbar Academy is committed to keeping Indian classical music affordable and accessible for all.
