Classical Piano

Classical Piano

Technique · Notation · Examination

The foundation of all piano education. Classical training builds proper hand technique, advanced sight-reading, and the musical depth that separates technically sound pianists from truly expressive ones.

  • Proper hand position and touch technique
  • Grand staff notation — treble and bass clef
  • Scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises
  • Repertoire: Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Mozart
  • Sight-reading and aural training
Contemporary Piano

Contemporary Piano

Pop · Film Score · Jazz Harmony

Play the music you actually love. Contemporary piano covers chord-based playing, pop accompaniment, film score repertoire, and the harmonic concepts behind modern music. Built on classical technique, but applied to the songs that move you today.

  • Chord voicings and pop accompaniment patterns
  • Lead sheets and chord charts
  • Film score and cinematic piano
  • Jazz harmony and extended chords
  • Improvisation over chord progressions
  • Arrangement of contemporary songs
Piano Learning Levels

A program built for every level

From first-time learners discovering the piano to serious students preparing for stage, exams, composition, and performance each level gets a curriculum designed specifically for the student’s current skill, pace, and musical goals.

Year 1 • Foundation & Beginner

First beats,
real music.

Year 1 builds the student’s core piano foundation. Students begin with posture, finger numbers, keyboard geography, simple rhythms, and familiar melodies, then gradually move into two-hand coordination, basic chords, notation reading, and complete pieces.

  • Keyboard layout, finger numbers, and correct posture
  • Basic notes, rhythm, and simple melodies
  • Right-hand and left-hand coordination
  • Basic chords: C, F, G, Am
  • First complete pieces and term-end performance

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 piano at MindRaga.

Do I need to own a piano or keyboard before starting?
No — for your demo class we have instruments at the centre. After enrolling, we'll advise on what to buy at home for practice. A decent 61-key keyboard with weighted keys is a practical starting point and very affordable. If you want to invest in an acoustic piano, we'll guide you on what to look for. You don't need to decide anything before your first class.
What's the difference between piano and keyboard classes at MindRaga? +
Piano classes focus specifically on acoustic piano technique — proper touch, classical and contemporary repertoire. Keyboard classes are broader — covering electronic keyboard styles, contemporary arrangements, chord playing, and the full range of keyboard sounds. If your goal is classical technique and exam certification, piano is the right choice. If you want a more contemporary, versatile approach, keyboard is a great fit. We'll help you decide in your demo.
Am I too old to learn piano? +
No. We teach adult beginners regularly and they make extraordinary progress. Adults often learn faster than children in the early stages because they understand the logic of music theory immediately. The main requirement is consistent practice — 20–30 minutes daily makes a significant difference. Many of our most motivated and fastest-progressing students are adults learning for the first time.
How long before I can play a recognisable piece? +
Most students are playing simple melodies with both hands within 6–8 weeks. A complete recognisable piece — hands together, musical — typically by the end of the first term (12 weeks). The pace depends on age and practice consistency, but our curriculum is built so that every student has something genuinely musical to play from the very first month.
Can piano be taught effectively online? +
Yes — with some considerations. Online piano works very well for intermediate and advanced students, and adequately for beginners. The main limitation is that subtle touch and dynamics are slightly harder to demonstrate remotely. Our online piano faculty are experienced in teaching remotely and use specific camera angles and demonstration techniques to compensate. Many students do a mix of in-person and online successfully.
