Piano Teacher and founder of Solfege

Leena’s journey of discovering music was sparked by a cousin and a childhood experience of living with a musically inclined family in France.

For the curious but introverted Leena, music soon became an outlet to express herself. Teaching came in with her clarinet tutor encouraging her to accompany younger students at recitals, giving her insights into how people across ages connected with music.

As a music educator, the greatest challenge and delight for Leena is helping each student create their unique journey and helping diverse individuals connect with an instrument in a personal way.

Shefali grew up in Mumbai, surrounded by musical influences. She remembers being mesmerised whenever her mother and aunt would play the piano. Back then, there was no formal learning available for young children, so a family friend stepped in to teach her.

Shefali’s foray into teaching piano was an unplanned event though. Over the years, she has taught a diverse age group ranging from retired CEOs who picked up music as a hobby, to young children whose curiosity and confidence never fail to impress her.

Seeing her students build confidence as they learn and practice brings fulfilment for her.

As a child, Sneha was fascinated when she used to watch her aunt’s nimble fingers move on the piano. She always knew that she wanted to do the same. And thanks to her mother and grandmother - a strict teacher duo - she got plenty of practice and discipline.

Her own experiences with learning music and a degree in child psychology has helped Sneha connect effortlessly with children. Working with children, while challenging, has been the most rewarding experience for her.

She believes in encouraging children’s curiosity and letting them indulging in other forms of music and play. This, she feels, creates an exploratory vibe.
