Live 1:1 online classes · Tabla · Dance · Singing
Live one-to-one tabla, dance and singing classes with dedicated Indian gurus — scheduled in your time zone, taught at your child’s pace.
The first class is free — a real 40-minute lesson, not a sales call.
How it works
Tell us about the student and the time that suits your week — wherever in the world your evenings fall. It takes two minutes.
The trial is a real 40-minute first lesson, not a sales call. We match the student and teacher carefully — and re-match freely if it doesn't click.
Weekly one-to-one classes, a written practice plan after every lesson, and progress you can hear within the first month.
The courses
Each course runs from the very first lesson to advanced, stage-ready training — four levels, one guru, one student.
Foundation → Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced, in every course. Adults are warmly welcome too — about one in five of our students is a parent.
Why Riyaazi
Most of our students live outside India. The whole academy is designed around that one fact.
Never a group call, never a recording. Your child's guru hears every stroke and every note, and corrects it in the moment — the way these arts have always been taught.
Every class is scheduled in your time zone and stays correct through daylight-saving changes. New Jersey evenings, Dubai nights, London weekends — all map neatly onto our gurus' days in India.
Riyaazi means daily devoted practice. After every class, the guru writes exactly what to practise and for how long — so the week between classes is never wasted.
Every four classes, the guru writes home: what improved, what's next, and what to listen for. You won't need to wonder whether it's working.
From our families
“Advait played his first complete kaida for his grandparents in Chennai over a video call. Both ends of that call had tears in their eyes.”
“I didn't believe dance could be taught over a screen. Then I watched the guru correct the angle of Zara's wrist from four thousand kilometres away.”
“My daughter used to mumble film songs into her hairbrush. Eight classes in, she sang Yaman at the school's Diwali night — in tune, in taal, unafraid.”
“I'm forty-three and I finally learned the instrument I stared at in my uncle's house as a boy. My guru never once made me feel late to it.”
“The practice plan after every class is the thing. We always know exactly what this week's riyaaz is — no arguments, no guessing.”
“Our guru remembers everything — which taan gave Aisha trouble two weeks ago, which bhajan her grandmother loves. It feels anything but remote.”
Classes come in packs of 8 or 16 — a half or full cycle of teentaal’s sixteen beats. From ₹4,500 / $129 for eight classes.
No payment, no commitment — just a first lesson with a guru who takes your child seriously.
