Question 1

What kind of music classes do you teach?

Accepted Answer

We teach almost all kinds of common music classes. Western and Indian. Vocals and Instruments - Classical and Contemporary.

Question 2

What is the frequency of classes?

Accepted Answer

We teach classes once a week. Students can choose between offline and online classes.

Question 3

Is once a week classes good enough to learn well?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is. The key is to practice daily what you learn in class. Practicing daily for about 15 to 20 minutes will ensure good progress. If you really want to master the skill of playing a musical instrument, practice sessions are a necessity. Learning a musical instrument is related to the functionality of your muscle memory. Muscle memory is that long-term memory that helps us to perform a set of tasks upon repeatedly performing it. Playing an instrument does not require conscious thought but storing it in your muscle memory by repeating the same cycle over and over again. The more you practice, the more easily you seem to memorize your instrument-playing skills. When you play an instrument again and again, you are developing the skill set to synchronize your bodily movements required to play that instrument without any conscious thought. In the modern method of music teaching, it is recommended that schools host only 1 teaching session per week. WeGotGuru is one of the few schools in Bangalore that have employed this technique and have yielded fruits of success. Students who are experts in playing different instruments after training with us for the past 4-5 years are testimony to the aforesaid method.

Question 4

How long will it take for me to get to a good level in a music class?

Accepted Answer

It could be 6 months or a few years. This will be determined by the practice time you put in, how much of related music you listen to, and your musical abilities.

Question 5

Is there a set syllabus for the courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we follow the Trinity syllabus primarily. We also train students under the  ABRSM and the LCM (London College of Music) syllabuses. For Indian Classical Music, We follow the syllabus of particular boards.

Question 6

Do you provide trial classes?

Accepted Answer

We provide paid trial classes. Our tutors are highly experienced and certified and are chosen after a careful screening and selection process. Once you pay for the trial class, you'll be scheduled to take the demo class with the assigned tutor.

Question 7

What if I miss a class?

Accepted Answer

You can ask for a compensatory class. However, we do not promise one. The compensatory class will be provided keeping in mind the teacher availability.

Question 8

Question 12

What's the difference between offline and online classes?

Accepted Answer

Offline classes are group classes with a batch of 4-5 students and these sessions are 1 hour long. The online classes are private 1-on-1 classes with each session being 30-40 mins in duration. Also, in online classes, you have the opportunity to  screen record your class sessions which you can later on as references for any doubts that'll you've have on the lesson taught.

Question 13

Why is it insisted that only 4 or 5 students should be included in a batch?

Accepted Answer

This is a modern method of teaching different from that of other music schools where they encompass almost 10 students per batch.Teachers can give Individual attention to the students this way whereas students can focus on their lessons more without much distraction. At the same time, the presence of 4-5 students in a batch encourages cross learning culture. The classes are always lively and students would enjoy the process of learning from each other. WGG has yielded good results with the above methodology of teaching and would recommend the same for a longer time to come.

Question 14

How can I prepare for offline classes?

Accepted Answer

You can prepare for offline classes by bringing the required study materials the teacher has asked to bring like your notebooks, pens and, your instrument. In the case of drums, students must bring their own pair of drumsticks. Also, make sure you've practiced the previous lessons given by the teacher.  You can also bring water bottles and snacks for yourself, to have prior or post classes.

Question 15

How can I prepare for online classes?

Accepted Answer

To ensure a good online class session, you must have a good internet connection to avoid any latency or lags. You will beed a working pc, laptop, tablet or phone to attend the online class session. It will be better if you have a quiet place with little to no distractions so you can focus on your class. Also, keep your instrument, notebooks, pens etc, ready for the class. Also, make sure you've practiced the previous lessons given by the teacher.

Question 16

You have so many teachers, how do I choose the one that would suit my needs?

Accepted Answer

You can discuss your requirements with us and we allot the teacher best suited for your needs.

Question 17

What are the class timings? Do they have flexibility?

Accepted Answer

We teach during the weekdays and weekends. The school is off on Tuesdays. With many teachers, we offer various class timings based on the preference of student & availability of the student,

Question 18

Is there a group or community I can join to keep in touch with my batch mates and teacher?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do have WhatsApp class groups where students, parents, and teachers can participate in. These groups are designed to share information, doubts, assignments, assessments, and announcements. You can use the group to inform the teacher if you will not be attending class or to plan a compensation class.

Question 19

How do compensation classes work?

Accepted Answer

The student has to pay the full month's fees even if they happen to miss out on some classes in a month. The school provides them time and opportunity to make up for the missed classes as long as the fee payments are made in a timely manner. The teachers would provide makeup classes on other days of the week when they have free time slots. The student and the respective teacher will have to discuss amongst themselves and find a convenient timing. Thus the classes missed by the student are compensated. If the student misses 2 months of class, then he/she would have to re-register before joining the class.

Question 20

Will all the students in a batch be taught the same lesson every week?

Accepted Answer

Yes the learning material would be the same but the progress of the sessions differs based on the individual learning curve. The time required to cover a lesson may vary depending on his/her own personal abilities. Some students might learn quicker than others so the teachers would make them progress to the next level. They would help the students with lower pace to progress steadily as well. To be a good performer, how efficiently one practices an instrument matters more than how fast he/she picked up a lesson. Without repeated practice for 1 week, a student may fall short of understanding lessons taught in the next class.

Question 21

Can we increase the frequency of classes?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, we encourage students to stick to 4 classes on a monthly schedule and it’s worked out well for most of them. In the case of some months, students also get a 5th class for free. For example, you take guitar lessons on Monday but instead of 4 Mondays, there are 5 Mondays that month. In the case of students needing extra classes, we can arrange for that by discussing it with the concerned teacher. Depending on the frequency of the classes, the fees will vary.

Question 22

Is there a set syllabus for the courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we follow the Trinity syllabus primarily. We also train students under the ABRSM and the LCM (London College of Music) syllabuses. For Indian Classical Music, We follow the syllabus of particular boards, like the Bangiya Sangeet Parishat.
