Devyani topped the North India region in her RSL Grade 3 exam in the 2024 (A) session. She learned on the same graded pathway every student here follows, whatever the instrument: one skill at a time, in order, with an instructor listening to every note.
Most children who give up an instrument don’t lack talent. They hit one of three problems, and nobody fixes it.
Problem 01
Videos and apps can show a child what to play. They can’t hear what the child actually played, so small mistakes go unnoticed and get practiced every day.
You can’t tell if it’s actually working
Problem 02
A child might learn chords one week, scales the next and a song after that, without anything connecting the lessons.
Effort goes in, but progress doesn’t compound
Problem 03
Without a clear curriculum or objective benchmarks, parents are left guessing whether their child is actually improving.
Interest fades when progress is invisible
The hidden cost
Every week a mistake is practiced, it gets harder to undo. That is why every class here is live: the instructor hears it, and fixes it, before it sets.
Live lessons, built on a graded pathway. Three things, done properly, every class.
We develop the child’s interest
They learn because they want to play
We teach in the right order
Nothing is taught at random
We follow international standards
Progress you can measure, not just assume
Seven Notes, compared

20+ certified instructors, all trained in one method. A few of the people your child might learn with:
Faculty of Voice
Vocals · Indian & Western
MPA in Vocal Music from Bhatkhande Sanskriti University; teaches Indian classical and Western singing.
Senior Faculty
Guitar · Keys · Theory
Guitarist and producer with 15+ years of teaching and more than 2,000 students.
Founder · Guitar, piano and theory
I’ve spent 20 years on stage and in recording sessions, and I’ve taught more than 5,000 students. Most of the children who came to me after other lessons had the same story: they could play a few things, but nobody had ever corrected the basics, and nothing had been taught in order.
Seven Notes Academy is built to fix that. Every class is live. Every skill comes in the right order. And progress is measured against the same graded standards examiners use.
“A child who enjoys the instrument picks it up on a Tuesday afternoon without being asked.”
Six courses, one method. Every course is a 12-class module, taught live by a certified instructor.
Acoustic & electric
Chords, rhythm and fingerpicking first, then lead playing and full songs, on acoustic or electric.
See the guitar course
Classical & contemporary
Hand position and technique, reading music, and the popular songs and harmony that keep it fun.
See the piano course
Western & Indian
Breathing, pitch and range, in Western or Indian styles, and the confidence to sing in front of people.
See the vocals course
Rock to jazz
Rhythm and timing first, then fills, styles from rock to jazz, and playing along with a band.
See the drums course
For every instrument
Scales, keys and harmony, composition and analysis: the understanding underneath every instrument.
See the music theory course
A gentle first instrument
Simple chords and strumming, songs your child will recognize, and a relaxed pace for young beginners.
See the ukulele course
Unscripted, in their own words.

I was nervous about singing in front of anyone, let alone a teacher. Found Seven Notes Academy through a friend, and the vocal training here is patient, structured, and genuinely confidence-building.
One 30-minute class with a certified instructor, and a written report the same day. No payment details, and no sales call.
How it works
You book
An assessment class
30 minutes, 1-on-1 with a certified instructor.
We assess
A written report, same day
Readiness and musical aptitude, scored, with a recommended starting point.
You decide
Start the 12-class module
Or don’t. The report is yours to keep either way.
Nothing to pay to book
Class length
Matched to age and goals. The instructor recommends one in the report.
Short and focused. Young children learn best in short bursts, so every minute is spent playing.
Enough time to warm up, learn something new and play it through properly. The length most families choose.
Room for technique, repertoire and theory in one class. Best for older students and higher grades.
Thirty minutes with a certified instructor, and a written report the same day. Then you decide.
From age 6. Classes are taught to students of all ages after that, from young children to adults, and the class length and pace are matched to the student.
The one they are curious about. If you’re not sure, book the assessment class and say so: the instructor will look at your child’s rhythm, pitch and coordination and recommend a starting point in the written report.
No. The instructor will recommend the right instrument and size at the assessment class. You’ll need one before the course itself starts.
You tell us the days and times that suit you, in your own time zone, and we match you with an instructor who can teach then. Classes run at a fixed weekly slot so practice becomes a habit.
Twelve classes is long enough to build a real skill and short enough to keep a clear goal in sight. Each module has a plan, each class builds on the last, and at the end you can see exactly what changed.
RSL, Trinity College London and ABRSM. Your child’s instructor will recommend the board that suits their instrument and style.
It’s a real 30-minute, 1-on-1 class with a certified instructor. Along the way the instructor checks your child’s readiness (focus, following instructions, working independently) and musical aptitude (rhythm, pitch, coordination).
You get a written report the same day, with a recommended starting point. It is yours to keep whether you enroll or not.
