Do you offer late-night or early-morning classes?

How are the online classes conducted?
All our sessions are conducted via Google Meet. Our teachers will share the lesson link 5–10 minutes before each lesson via WhatsApp or email for easy access.
Is there a minimum age to start piano/keyboard classes?
Yes, the minimum starting age at Aum Piano Studio is 5 years. By this age, children typically develop the motor skills, focus, and coordination needed to engage effectively in structured music lessons and enjoy the learning process.
Do I need to have an instrument?
Yes, regular practice is essential for learning any instrument. While beginners don’t need a high-end model, having at least a basic piano or keyboard is mandatory to take lessons with us and make meaningful progress.
Piano vs Keyboard - Which one should I learn?
When choosing between a piano and a keyboard, think about what kind of music you like and how you want to play. Choose a keyboard if you enjoy modern music, playing with different sounds, using backing tracks, and creating music digitally. Keyboards are easy to use, portable, affordable, and great if you prefer playing mostly with your right hand and don’t want to use pedals. Choose a piano if you love rich, beautiful sounds and want to play styles like classical or jazz. Playing the piano uses both hands and feet, improves coordination, strengthens your fingers, and helps keep your mind sharp. Pianos also let you play with more feeling and expression because of their touch sensitive weighted keys.
