Music Room & Music Studio

Learn Indian classical music in its traditional form.

Who we are

Students sit on the floor to practice, following the Guru-Shishya Parampara — the teacher-disciple tradition in which music is passed on through direct, close instruction rather than formal lecture.

The room is sunlit, calm, and uncluttered, suited to exactly this kind of learning.

The environment plays a more significant role than is often acknowledged. Music cannot be taught in the same manner as most conventional subjects, there is no fixed formula, no single correct outcome. It requires room to breathe, and this is precisely what the space provides.

What we do

Train on a range of instruments

The Music Room is equipped with harmonium, tanpura, bul bul tarang, tabla, dholak, keyboard, and guitar. You can train in Hindustani classical vocal and instrumental music, or explore contemporary forms.

Perform at a Baithak

The room regularly hosts baithaks — informal classical sittings where students perform for and with each other. Workshops and events run through the year, giving you room to learn, perform, and collaborate.

Record in a professional studio

TSLAS has a dedicated Music Studio built for recording and production. With professional recording and audio equipment, you can record, mix, and produce your own music in a controlled environment, extending your training from live classical practice into contemporary production.

Study with a Gwalior Gharana vocalist

Vocal training is led by Vaibhav Sakshi, Assistant Professor at TSLAS, who specialises in Hindustani classical music. She brings over a decade of training and performance experience, learned under the Guru-Shishya Parampara from noted vocalists of the Gwalior Gharana, alongside active academic research and pedagogy in music.
