Music to Heal
the mind

abt home 1

At the Baba School of Music, we have been working in Varanasi since 1995 to teach all kinds of Indian music instruments. Our aim is that everyone across the world knows about Indian music and can learn to play it if they wish. We believe that music is not just a form of entertainment, but a prayer and a medicine for the mind and body.

Even if someone is not a maestro in a particular subject, they can still enjoy and relax with music for just 20 minutes a day.

We have seen lives unfold and transform using the sacred sounds of Indian
Classical Music hence it has become our vision to see many more
individuals equipped with tangible tools to overcome emotional resistance
and mental challenges and struggles to support themselve
