What people are saying

This is a music school like no other! It's not just a place where my son learns music but growing to be a musician. For me, one can learn music through various means, online, learning apps, books etc., but it's rare to find a group of dedicated teachers, a dedicated music-loving owner, and a strong community of volunteer parents all working together to help develop young musicians, and performers. Over the last two years, my son has learned so much in guitar, and performed in various concerts and recitals, and continues to be excited to attend classes.

If you are looking for a music school that supports kids learn Indian classical and movie music, as well as western popular music, and more importantly, become a performer, look nowhere else.

My daughter has been learning classical and light Indian vocal music at Notes n Beats since she was 4 and started Western vocal lessons a couple of years ago. We have enjoyed our experience and she has learnt so much. Notes n Beats mixes teaching classical music with light music which keeps the kids engaged and also provides opportunities to perform at in-house and outside events. I would highly recommend this school for their diverse music classes and skilled teachers.

My daughter always says - Mom, I am not moving to any other area since there is no Notes n Beats there. She absolutely loves performing in the various shows especially their annual charity event. She is looking to get more involved each year and is willing to sacrifice any summer travel to be here for practices and help in whatever way possible.

Thank you, Veena, for nurturing her love of music and growing her confidence to go from a shy girl to one who is raring to get every opportunity to perform on stage. Also for making us feel like part of the extended Notes n Beats family.

Notes & Beats is an amazing place for learning music, performing in shows, and socializing with your peers. As a current sangeetham student under Veena Aunty, I love every minute of it. In our recent show the FEEL, I got to sing a song, but more importantly I got to participate in the show by organizing it. Notes & Beats has a non-profit organization called The Stage. The Stage took care of donations, websites, marketing, etc. By volunteering in The Stage I learned social skills, hands-on website editing experience, and the opportunity to help others. The Stage was not something like a task to me, but it was an opportunity: to help others and make the best possibile show we could produce. My experience in The Stage has motivated me to continue to help others and doing more things in The Stage. Volunteering for the The Stage and organizing the show was a very fun experience, and I hope to do it very soon again.

My daughter has been attending this music school for over two years now and I am amazed at the progress I have seen in her musical journey. Not only do they continuously help her to better and master her music skills, but they also provide her with performance opportunities.

This year, I had the pleasure of witnessing their annual music event. I went in not expecting much and came out stunned at the level of professionalism and the talent of all the students and teachers. Mrs.Veena and her staff took utmost care of every minute detail for the event and the show looked spectacular. Looking forward for more amazing shows from the school.

I would highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to start, or continue learning music.
