Our Programs
🎹From your first chord to concert-hall confidence.
Our piano curriculum spans classical tradition, jazz harmony, and contemporary songwriting. Students build technical fluency through repertoire-led learning while developing their own musical voice.
🎻The soul of the orchestra, yours to command.
Study violin through Suzuki, traditional, and Indian classical approaches. Our faculty guides students from basic bow technique through the full expressive range of this extraordinary instrument.
🎸Acoustic, classical, or electric - your genre, your story.
Whether you dream of fingerpicking Baroque suites or shredding contemporary rock, our guitar programme accommodates every style. Each curriculum path is tailored to the student's musical goals.
🎤Discover the instrument you were born with.
Cadence's vocal programme develops breath support, pitch accuracy, tonal range, and performance presence. We offer tracks in Western classical, Bollywood, jazz, and contemporary styles.
🎵Where breath becomes music.
Our flute programme covers Western concert flute technique and introduces students to the rich tradition of Indian bansuri. A serene, deeply expressive path through the world of wind instruments.
🥁Keep the beat. Drive the band.
Rhythm is the heartbeat of music, and our percussion programme builds rock-solid timing alongside musical sensitivity. Students explore kit drumming, hand percussion, and cross-genre rhythmic vocabularies.
“Music is not what we teach at Cadence. It is how we listen - to the student, to the phrase, to the silence between notes.”
- Ananya Krishnaswamy, Director
Our Philosophy
Founded in 2011, Cadence was built on a singular conviction: that great music education must honour both technical excellence and human expression. We don't produce performers who sound like recordings - we develop artists who sound like themselves.
Our faculty are practising musicians, not merely teachers. Every curriculum decision is made with a single question in mind: does this make the student more musical?
Faculty
Director of Music & Senior Piano Faculty
A graduate of the Royal College of Music, London, Ananya has performed at Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, and across major Indian concert halls. She brings 18 years of performance and pedagogy experience to Cadence, shaping its distinctive approach to Western classical training in an Indian context.
“Every student carries a universe of music inside them. Our work is simply to help them find the door.”
Head of Strings
Rajan trained with Menuhin's protégés in London before returning to India to pioneer violin education that bridges Western and Carnatic traditions. He performs with the Symphony Orchestra of India and mentors students for conservatory auditions globally.
“The violin doesn't reward shortcuts - but it rewards every ounce of honest practice with something transcendent.”
Head of Voice & Vocal Arts
Priya's voice has graced concert stages from Bengaluru to Berlin. She holds degrees in Western operatic soprano and has also trained in Hindustani classical under Pt. Rajan Sajan Mishra's lineage. Her vocal programme blends European technique with deep Indian roots.
“Your voice is the most intimate instrument - and the most powerful one, when it's free.”
