GUITAR HALL - The Guitar Academy,Chembur,Ghatkopar,Vashi. - Mumbai

9 Jun 2010

I was fortunate enough to attend Guitar Hall 3 years back. I had already taken two years of local guitar classes prior to joining Guitar Hall and decided that I was not getting the level of instruction that I required. I was able to take private lessons with a local instructor in my area which did not take me beyond a few chords and scales which most of the teachers in India teach. When I walked in to Guitar Hall was one of the proudest days of my life. Being from north India it was slightly difficult for me to relocate to Mumbai. At first the whole relocation-first time from home thing was hard to get used to but the fact that there were many other students from all over India made it much easier for all of us. We out-of-Mumbai students had even rented a flat nearby where we stayed together, played together and partied together. From the very start we were greeted by a staff of impeccable talent that soon had us working hard to achieve our goals. Many of us had stars in our eyes and dreams of being big rockstars or being discovered in the Indian Rock scene, which in retrospect was a bit naive but the magic of performing live did add to the experience in many ways. Since I had taken care of all of my basic guitar studies with my local teacher back home I was able to proceed onto higher Modules at Guitar Hall very soon. And with the help of Guitar teachers at Guitar Hall, I was able to take the vast amount of knowledge that I had been given and effectively translate it into my own repertoire. Although I did not become a huge star in the Indian Rock Circuit, I was able to go back home and be an active performer and educator which I am proud to still be to this day. I definitely recommend this experience at Guitar Hall Mumbai to all who wish to pursue the guitar as a way of life!

The idea of guitar training for everyone is not so new. Many guitar/music teachers have been teaching from their homes and many teachers have been teaching at schools,colleges.But the training provided by these guitar teachers or small time classes, mostly, is lacking in professional training & knowledge in music theory . In many places the basics of music is taught with not so detailed information. The practical training is simply not there. Guitar Hall at Mumbai is fulfilling that need for people who are serious about studying & learning music the right way. Those who are looking for something beyond other ordinary guitar classes who claim,’Learn guitars in 30 days’ and others who teach you just a few chords, scales and a few basic tunes in the first 3-4 months. Firstly let me tell you frankly you don’t need to join any classes to learn chords, scales and basic tunes. You can do that yourself at home. Always ask the classes/institutes what would be the syllabus. I did the same with all the guitar classes before stumbling upon Guitar Hall where I found the syllabus for the beginning module itself very comprehensive,detailed and diverse, way beyond chords and scales. At Guitar Hall you start guitar playing with sight reading right from the very first day. The students are constantly monitored while they work out the lessons. Assessments are made on the skills acquired. The Guitar Hall lessons are created with in depth study & research. The faculty is trained from Guitar Hall itself who have done their training in Mumbai and also worked in Mumbai music circuit for years. That is a big advantage. Another advantage is the timings. Since it is part-time, students can have the facility of joining and attending classes anytime, apart from their daily routine.All the students are given one to one training. Also unlike other classes who function once/twice a week, Guitar Hall is open throughout the week, Sunday included. So flexibility is absolutely no issue. Slight irritant can be the location for Trinity College London exam center, where students have to travel to other corners of city. The 3 centers allotted this year are santa cruz,vashi and vasai.This year 62 students from Guitar Hall would be appearing for the Trinity exams which would be conducted on Nov/Dec, which itself is a record. So they must make their Guitar Hall center itself as a venue for Trinity College London exams. Another irritant is the parking. With hundreds of students coming every week from the entire city and other places from Maharashtra and even other states like Gujarat they must take parking into consideration. Guitar Hall being located at the central business hub of Chembur,forget 4 wheelers you would struggle to park even a cycle! How about valet parking??!Though Guitar Hall is centrally located and people from entire Mumbai city can easily access Guitar Hall. Students and working professionals will find the Guitar Hall syllabus and structure very useful to attain their goals.I would recommend only serious guitar students to join Guitar Hall because as I mentioned earlier the syllabus is quite vast. Those who can’t take it can join the ‘learn guitars in 30 days’ hobby classes and learn ‘papa kehte hai bada naam karega’ from them.:-)
