John's Music Classes

John is one of the best music teachers I’ve known from the day I had joined piano classes. John has profound musical knowledge,off course very disciplined and believes that every student has a great potential to explore music.Thank you John for continuous attention to every detail, which instills to pursue more. Not to forget that he is an expert in recommending good brand of instruments too, if you are looking forward to buy one.I am deeply motivated to up skill my learning in guitar as it always motivates me more to see the way you play with every beautiful style, variation, techniques with precision. You are in the making of creating the most beautiful and stunning vocalist, pianist, guitarist and many more, into true artists! Thank you so much for the passion.

It’s slightly more than a year since I enrolled for the piano classes and it’s been a great experience. John is a fantastic teacher, very knowledgable about music. He constructively encourages his students to get better and better. There’s something new to learn each week. To all those who are interested to learn music, I would definitely recommend learning at John’s Music Classes.

I did the 4-month Beginner Guitar Course with John. Pros: 1. Structure: The course starts from scratch, from as basic as understanding the parts of a guitar. It has an optimal mix of theory and practicals 2. Pace: There is a gradual build-up of knowledge across sixteen 2-hour sessions. Every class has a pre-defined agenda and is worth the time. John never fails to stop to answer questions in detail and yet keeps the pace on track 3. Quality of Teaching: John’s crystal clear and engaging teaching style goes well across ages, be it a 6th grader or a 50+ year old (there were both in my batch). John’s ‘live singing’, being a vocals teacher as well, improves the learning and fun quotient significantly 4. Understanding the ‘Why’: While YouTube videos stress on the ‘How’, with John, one gets to learn the ‘Why’. This learning is rare (and is John’s forte and USP). This helps to build a rock solid foundation in learning 5. Rigour: John has a no-nonsense approach of giving homework every week (which he diligently checks). This ensures students practice/ revise notes between classes. He leaves no stone unturned to enable every student to max the learnings 6. Inclusivity: John hand holds the weakest student of the class to get him/ her up to speed, very patiently at that. His focus is more on them than the ones who get it 7. No Delegation: Unlike in other institutes where beginner courses are usually delegated to a less experienced teacher/ senior student, John personally teaches every class despite his decades of teaching experience 8. Flexibility: Given the simultaneous online and offline mode of teaching in every class, one gets to choose either of them in the last minute, without any prior intimation 9. Going Beyond: John’s deep-rooted passion and incredible knowledge makes him share so many fascinating nuggets of information from the world of music. He creates an ambience of awe and respect towards music 10. What Next: In the best interest of music at large, John totally leaves it to the student to decide on what next (beyond the Beginner Course). There is absolutely no push to take up his Intermediate Course Cons: 1. Nasty traffic, the class being located in the heart of an immensely (and always) busy market area. Parking is a nightmare unless you are on a 2-wheeler 2. Classes are on the expensive side compared to others in Bangalore 3. The course does not link to Trinity exams for guitar The pros clearly outweigh the cons, making this a MUST DO course.

I have been going to John sir's classes on and off for years now, and I absolutely adore everything about his class environment and teaching style. I have attended vocal and piano classes, both of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. He is incredibly patient with each student and really takes into account every person's abilities and progress. I have not been able to attend classes for a while now due to personal commitments, but I am eager to join again and I always recommend it to others looking to learn music!

I enrolled in the beginner's guitar class here, and I must say, John has a great way of teaching, especially music theory and techniques. His classes are engaging, with interesting analogies and anecdotes. Even in a group setting—whether in person or online—you still get individual attention. If you're here to decide, please go for it!

After being disappointed with my children’s music progress elsewhere, I found John’s music classes—and it turned out to be an excellent decision! My children have been learning music (keyboard, guitar, and vocals) from John Sir for over two years now, and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor for them. His teaching is structured, methodical, and most importantly, filled with patience and encouragement. Despite learning online, the experience has been so seamless that it never feels like a virtual class. The progress they’ve made is incredible, but what truly stands out is how much they enjoy the journey—practicing is no longer a task but something they genuinely look forward to. I am truly grateful to John Sir for making music such a fun and enriching experience. If you’re serious about learning music the right way, look no further than John’s music classes!

I have been learning here for a month now and i have made significant progress. The course is really great and John sir is very attentive. He teaches basics very patiently and gives attention to all of his students.
