our classes. piano. Classical guitar. violin. & More

 This magnificent instrument with 88 keys can seem alluring and intimidating to the uninitiated. But, at WCMI, we make learning the piano a true joy to experience. Every student who joins our piano classes is given individual lessons. This enables students to learn at their own pace and comfort. We help students understand the nuances of the piano, by teaching them theory, finger exercises and practical lessons in every session. 

 No other instrument commands the diversity of tone, like the 6-string guitar. An indispensable addition to several musical genres, the guitar has indeed become the go-to instrument of choice for budding musicians. At WCMI, we offer both one-to-one and group lessons for our classical guitar students. Students are taught how to read notes, interpret chords, tabs & scales, and made to practice finger & plucking exercises that help them understand the instrument in greater detail. 

 The smallest, yet with the highest-pitch; the fiddle or the violin is a wonderful four-stringed instrument. Due to its unique bowing & plucking technique and body posture, the violin requires undivided attention from its students. We cater to students who wish to learn individually as well as those who prefer learning in groups. 

 Tuned in perfect fifths, the cello is the largest bowed & plucked four-stringed instrument. Although belonging to the violin family, the cello is unique because of its bass tone. WCMI is perhaps, among a handful of schools in India that teach the cello and the only one that offers personalized one-to-one classes. 

 Western Classical Music Institute (WCMI), happy to announce online classes. In these uncertain and difficult times, we did not want any disruption to those who physically can not be in the class. We have thoughtfully designed the online classes to have the same experience as being in class. The online classes would have a 50min duration instead of the usual 40 minutes in-class time so as to maintain the same experience. 

To maintain the optimal learning experience we advise the following equipment for online classes. An HD webcam or iPad, preferably a wireless headset so the microphone won't pick up ambient noise, and preferably a quieter room or setting. The above equipment would ensure the optimal continuous learning experience at the safety of your house without having to disrupt the learning experience or ensure possible long commutes. 

  Special abilities are gifted children who function at a different level than regular abilities children. It has been scientifically proven that special abilities children are gifted when it comes to performance arts and especially music. And the reward for exposing special abilities to children is multifold. Exposure to music brings the special abilities of children a structure that is not as prevalent with normal academic learning.   We at WCMI value the special needs children and cater to them a carefully structured music learning course that fulfills their needs and nurtures their learning abilities. This course is specially designed to each individual student with recognized special needs. Each class is longer at 120 minutes per class compared to normal classes. This allows the need to communicate with the special needs children at their learning abilities at their speed.   

• The trumpet is a brass wind instrument that produces sound through lip vibration against a cup-shaped mouthpiece, creating a powerful and penetrating tone.
• Trumpets are typically constructed of brass or other metals, with a cylindrical tube that is curved in a loop and terminates in a flared bell.
• The modern valve trumpet, invented in the early 19th century, allows for the production of a full chromatic scale through the use of valves that change the length of the instrument's tubing.
• Trumpets are used in a wide range of musical genres, from classical orchestras to jazz ensembles, as well as in military and ceremonial.

• The saxophone is a type of single-reed woodwind instrument with a conical brass body, usually made of brass.
• Saxophones produce sound when a reed on a mouthpiece vibrates, creating a sound wave within the instrument's body.
• The pitch is controlled by opening and 
• closing holes in the body to change the effective length of the vibrating air column.

• In the 1840s and 1850s, the saxophone gained use in small classical ensembles, as a solo instrument, and in French and British military bands.
• However, interest in the saxophone waned in the late 19th century, as its use in orchestras did not become widespread.
• The saxophone found greater popularity in the United States, particularly in the development of jazz music in the early 20th century.
• Today, the saxophone is used in a wide range of musical genres, including classical, military, jazz, rock, and popular music.

• ​The clarinet was invented around the year 1700 by German instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner, who added a register key to the earlier single-reed instrument called the chalumeau.
• After Denner's innovations, other makers continued to add more keys to the clarinet to improve its tuning and facilitate fingerings, eventually leading to the modern clarinet.
• The number of keys on the clarinet steadily increased, with the instrument typically having 5 keys during the Classical period when used by composers like Mozart.
• Clarinetist and maker Iwan Müller later developed a clarinet with 7 finger holes and 13 keys, allowing it to play in all keys without the need for differently tuned instruments.
• The modern clarinet continued to evolve between 1800 and 1850, with further additions of keys and changes to the bore and mouthpiece to improve tonal power and other characteristics.
