About your teacher

Hello, I'm Likhitha.

I've been learning and playing piano for over 11 years, beginning in primary school and completing all eight ABRSM practical piano grades. Alongside practical piano training, I've also developed a strong foundation in music theory, giving me a well-rounded understanding of music.

Over the years, my own learning and performance experience has shaped the way I teach. I've spent over 4 years teaching students of different ages and levels, from complete beginners discovering the piano for the first time to students working towards ABRSM exams. My approach is patient and structured, while still making sure lessons feel enjoyable and personal.

Whether you want to learn your favourite songs, build a strong foundation, prepare for an exam, or simply become more confident at the piano, we'll work towards your goals at a pace that works for you.

  • 11+ years of piano training and performance experience
  • ABRSM Piano Grades 1-8 — Distinction in every practical grade
  • 4+ years of teaching experience, across different ages and levels

  • Digital sheet music and recordings shared after each session

Before you begin

How your first lesson works

No pressure, no prep required — just come as you are.

01

Get in touch

Fill in the form below with a bit about yourself or your child, and I'll reply within a day or two to find a time.

02

Trial lesson

We'll chat about your goals, I'll get a feel for your current level, and we'll spend most of the time actually playing.

03

A plan just for you

Based on the trial, we'll agree on a pace, a format, and whether exam prep makes sense — then start regular weekly lessons.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to already know how to play?

Not at all — most students start as complete beginners. Lessons are built from the ground up, whatever your starting point.

What age do you start teaching from?

I teach students of all ages, from young children through adults. Lessons are paced to the individual student, not a fixed age group.

Do I need my own piano or keyboard at home?

Yes, some form of practice instrument at home makes a real difference between lessons. A full-size keyboard with weighted or semi-weighted keys works well if an acoustic piano isn't an option.

Are lessons in-person or online?

Both. In-person lessons happen at my living room studio in Bengaluru; online lessons run live over video call for students further afield or with busier schedules.

Can I switch from Foundations to Exam Track later?

Yes — many students start with Foundations and move into exam preparation once they're ready. We'll talk through timing together when it feels right.

How often are lessons?

Once a week is standard, with twice a week available for students who want to progress faster or are actively preparing for an exam.

From students & parents

What lessons feel like

My daughter went from refusing to practise to asking for extra time at the piano.
