Learn to Play the Piano
At Inspire, the Piano classes are instructed by the founder and director of the institute - Rajesh Bundela.
-
The classes are for ages 5 onwards.
-
Inspire Music Institute's Piano Lab consists 6 pianos, an LCD projector for students to watch videos or follow the notations as a class, and an ear training station.
-
The pianos have headphones so students can practice without disturbing others while the Instructor can listen to any piano via a set of his own.
-
The ear training station consists two tablets and headphones. The students can listen to the pieces they are learning to get a better sense of how they should sound while playing.
Students are also welcome to come and practice whenever they want!
