Anup Sinha

I am Anup Sinha, a professional pianist and music educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. I founded Rhythm & Melody Music Academy in Bengaluru, India, in 2012 and have served as its Principal Teacher since then, teaching piano and keyboard to children and adults in Western classical and Bollywood styles.

I passed Trinity College London Grade 3 with Merit, preparing independently through self-study. My teaching experience extends beyond my own examination level: I recently guided one of my students through completion of Trinity Grade 5.

I have taught online since 2015 and prepare students for Trinity, ABRSM and LCM piano examinations. My lessons combine technique, music reading, theory and repertoire, with individual guidance for each student.

I teach one-to-one in English and Hindi, tailoring lessons to each student’s level, goals and learning pace.

My lessons are patient, structured and friendly. I begin with a trial lesson to understand each student's level, goals and learning pace, and then build a clear plan with small weekly practice goals so progress is steady and visible.

I use a pen tablet during online lessons to write notation and explain theory on screen, so concepts like scales, chords and rhythm are easy to follow. For children I keep lessons engaging and fun, and for adults I focus on practical goals, whether that is playing favourite songs or building a solid foundation.

I teach Bollywood songs and Western classical pieces side by side, so students enjoy what they play while developing proper technique and reading skills.
