Why Music?
Music is a Science, Math, a Foreign Language, a History and an Art
Think about that! Imagine another subject that covered all of those fields in
one! It enhances a child’s whole life by reminding them and gifting them with the
knowledge of transcendent beauty.
We take pride in teaching your child the foundations of music, Music Theory, Piano Technique, The Piano Express Program, Periodical Performance Opportunities and A Western Cultural perspective of Music History and techniques

Raj Ghanat
My daughter enjoys Barthanatyam classes with Priti Gupta. She is an Amazing Teacher and Multi-Talented Dancer.
Kavya Chatterjee
Priti is a great teacher, a combination of talent, patience and professionalism. My daughter took Bharatnatyam classes and Priti inculcated in her a love for the dance, taught her discipline all at the same time having fun. Priti is great at recognizing her student’s strengths and weaknesses as it comes to dance and she uses that to the utmost advantage of her students. Be it Bollywood, western or Indian classical, we have witnessed flawless choreographies and appreciation and gratitude from all her students.
