Learning to play keyboard at Mindraga Institute with experienced trainers Jay Talsania and Shakti has been fun and inspiring their personalized sessions helped me confidently play several songs within just a few weeks.

I highly recommend Mindraga to anyone looking to start or strengthen their musical journey in a positive and encouraging environment.

Common Questions

Everything about guitar at MindRaga.

Do I need to own a guitar before my first class?
No — for your free demo class you don't need anything. Our centre has guitars available. After your demo, if you decide to enrol, our team will recommend the right guitar for your style, level, and budget before you commit to buying anything.
Which style should I start with acoustic, electric, or bass? +
Start with what excites you most that's genuinely the best advice. If you're unsure, acoustic is the most versatile foundation. But if all you want to do is play rock or blues, start on electric. And if rhythm and groove are your thing, bass is a wonderful choice. Our instructors will help you decide in your free demo.
How long before I can play a full song? +
Most students play a simplified version of a real song in their first 2–3 lessons. A full song chords, strumming, transitions typically within 4–6 weeks for a complete beginner. The pace depends on your practice between lessons, but our curriculum is designed to give you something musical to play from day one.
How much practice is needed between classes? +
We recommend 15–20 minutes of daily practice for younger students and 30–45 minutes for older students and adults. Consistency matters far more than duration 15 minutes every day will outperform 2 hours on a Sunday every time. Our instructors give specific, focused practice tasks after every class.
Can I learn guitar online or only at the Andheri centre? +
Both options are fully available. Online classes use Zoom or Google Meet and are taught by the same faculty as our in-person centre. Many students actually prefer the online format you're on your own instrument, in your own space, and there's no commute. Some students do a mix of both.
