Amazing place to learn instruments 🥁 🎸. My 6 yr old love learning drums here. Rushabh and his team is very talented and coordinated .Rushabh is very patient with my child and teach him calmly. I would definitely suggest this place. Thank u Audio Arcade for making this learning experience for us enjoyable.
Great place if you are interested to learn music!
Ive been learnig drums from audio aracdes head instructor Rushabh sir, been a great experience. Would definetly recommend this place!
I had an amazing experience taking drum lessons with Audio Arcade. I was only visiting for a week and wanted to take a crash course, which they typically don’t offer, but Rushabh was super flexible and accommodating. He managed to compress one and a half months of lessons into just one week! I did one hour of class followed by one hour of practice each day, and this balance of theory and practical learning was perfect.
In just one week, I learned how to read notes and play 8th and 16th notes. He even gave me a practice book to continue working on my skills until I visit Mumbai again. His teaching style is incredibly encouraging, and he made sure to mix in learning with super easy songs, which kept me motivated.
On top of that, my taste in music has grown and evolved thanks to his influence. I would highly recommend his drum classes to anyone in the area looking to learn. I can’t wait to return for more lessons!
When i say this I’m being completely blunt and and honest. You feel extremely comfortable and like home. That is needed when you learn art or music. Ego and judgement is kept aside and both the COACH and STUDENT are exploring together. Great people, good vibes, banter, progress.
Best , full moj masti, the instructors are amazing they got one on one coaching and a group batch. They got Drums, vocals, guitar and much more,
Also great studio space for recordings and music production. And they didn’t pay me to write this.
I felt ecstatic about learning to play the guitar, and this experience boosted my enthusiasm. The teacher was patient with me and had a keen eye for detail. Overall, it was a good time.
