1:1 Online/Offline MUSIC CLASSES TAILOR-MADE for YOU.
With the RIGHT Teachers.
And the right BALANCE...
Taaqademy faculty are performing musicians who use customized 'deep & wide' curriculum and methods to help you learn music. With structure, performance, fun - and inspiration.
We're no 'ED-Tech startup'. We can't promise to turn you into the next A R Rahman, Freddy Mercury or Lata Mangeshkar. But we do promise that what you learn with us, you learn right - and have music as a friend for life.
Taaqademy is musician-owned and operated. Founded by the award-winning band Thermal And A Quarter (TAAQ), music is in our DNA.
Our online music classes now reach music enthusiasts in 22 countries!
Offline music classes are currently available in Bangalore (Koramangala, Whitefield, HSR Layout & Yelahanka).

WANT TO PLAY IN A BAND?
Playing and creating music with other musicians is an essential part of music education. The energy, vibe and teamwork that go into getting a band together; the understanding of how to make someone else sound good ; the creative inspiration that comes from playing and improvising together - ah, we could go on. So we will!
Our Jam Band Programs have been (dare we say) our USP since our inception in 2010. And they've been an unqualified success - we've put together over 500 live events featuring students across the last decade, and even an album of original songs (go here to listen).

WHY TAAQADEMY?
1-on-1 IS WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
We've believed that music is best taught 1:1 from the start (2010). Our accountants are convinced this makes little business sense, but hey we're still here 12 years in, and still committed to this ideal. It's how we're able to tailor-make our courses for you.
BY MUSICIANS | FOR MUSICIANS
From founders to management, we're an organization that plays, lives, breathes and works with music. There's love, passion, discipline (and a cheery bit of madness) in everything we do.
Our comprehensive syllabus, skill maps and lesson delivery have produced a large number of pro musicians. Unique automated systems and processes track every class to maintain quality. Level Checks, Quarterly Reports - these frequent assessments ensure students make real progress.

Music is at the heart of everything we do. Including our name! The 'TAAQ' in TAAQADEMY comes from 'Thermal And A Quarter', one of India's foremost Independent English Rock Bands. With a 25-year career under its collective belt, TAAQ continues to break new ground while staying relevant.
The band's 2020 album 'A World Gone Mad' was awarded the #1 Spot on Rolling Stone Magazine's 'Best Albums of 2020' list, and has been featured on 'Best of the Year' lists from A Humming Heart, Indiegaga, (IND), Sounds from the Superhighway (USA), The Eppy Gibbon Show (UK) and more! Bruce & Rajeev from TAAQ are personally involved in TAAQADEMY to a large extent.
"Taaqademy is of, by and for musicians. As active performing musicians ourselves, we understand what it takes to get there - and how to do it right."
- Rajeev Rajagopal, Founder, Taaqademy

"Our whole approach, our philosophy, if you like, is about getting past information to inspiration. Information is free. Inspiration is where the magic is."
- Bruce Lee Mani, Founder, Taaqademy
