Learn To Express Through MUSIC.
We are a professionally managed music academy that exists to nurture musicianship in our students. That’s how we grow our tribe of OCTAVIANS. Our founders come with a deep passion for music and a collective experience of over 80 years in various facets of learning.
Our story started in April 2013, with a new age music academy in Bengaluru, India, complete with designed-for-music interiors, dedicated teaching enclosures, high-quality instruments & infrastructure, a music store and an in-house performance space. Our professional recording studio was opened in 2015. After introducing online learning in March 2020, we now have multiple learning options including in-person & blended formats for you, so you can learn music no matter where you live.
Online Learning
We are online since March 2020 with all our courses. You can learn with us from wherever you are. Learners from across 5 countries are part of our student community.
Blended Learning
Best of both worlds, a combination of online & in-person lessons at the academy. For those who don't live close to the academy or find it difficult to commute four times a month.
In-person Learning
All lessons at our Academy - for those who live close by or can commute four times a month. Also for those who prefer in-person learning.
Corporate Engagement
Our programs for Corporates are designed to be highly engaging. They include appreciation sessions, master classes, learning sessions & competitions. All of these are conducted online.
Designed To Nurture Musicianship
Octavium Academy's vision is to provide an engaging and effective music learning experience within an environment that nurtures every student’s aspiration. Our talented, qualified & experienced team of mentors works collectively towards this. Inculcating a passion for the pursuit of music in our students, whether as a hobby or a career, is in constant focus.
Music is an art form, a medium of expression, a companion for life and its study should be free of stress is what we firmly believe. Each student’s learning journey is unique. Enabling every learner to discover and follow a path that suits her/him best is what we look to do. Whether it is an assessment, participating in a recital, or attending a master class, options are presented to students at every stage of learning and we encourage them to choose what excites them the most.
Our Music Courses namely, EXPLORATION, FOUNDATION, FLUENCY and CREATION are designed to take the learning further & deeper progressively. The infographic represents how our courses are structured and the average duration of each.
We also provide CUSTOMISED COURSE options for those who want to hone their skills in specific areas, build expertise in a particular genre or prepare for International Grade Examinations.
The instrument with the widest appeal and a high 'cool quotient', the guitar in its various forms has contributed to the creation of evergreen pieces of music & legends across time and genres. Our course helps learners to make a strong connection with the Guitar and identify how they want to use it, whether as a lead or accompanying instrument. Exposure to a wide range of musical forms helps them explore and settle into the genre they want to pursue, while acquiring the requisite skills & knowledge. More...
A famous musician apparently said "Singing is just a feeling set to music". We couldn't agree more. Our Western Vocals course helps learners do just that - express their feelings & emotions through the medium of singing. They learn to recognise their voice as an instrument to be treasured, nurtured and looked after. Needless to say, they also learn all the skills & techniques, theory, associated genres and a whole bunch of songs to get their singing just the way they'd like to sound. More...
This magnificent musical instrument is as much a feat of engineering as it is a work of art. It is also the instrument around which eras of music have progressed, allowing composers to attain legendary status for time to come. The contemporary Piano finds prominence in several forms of music, from classical to jazz, pop & rock as well. While our course focuses on the classical form, it also equips learners to adapt to the styles they choose at the appropriate times in their learning journey. More...
Arguably the most versatile instrument around, one that provides a full band and more at a Musician's fingertips. The keyboard is integral to almost every form of contemporary music that one can imagine whether in the studio or in live concerts. Our Keyboard Course enables learners to make full use of the instrument's capabilities while building a strong base in all aspects of music including theory & performance, with exposure to the technology that brings out the versatility.

The drum kit or drum set provides the beat, the groove that the rest of the band relies on, and it also gives many genres their distinct identities. The drummer is usually the busiest member of a band on stage, and the music created by a well-tuned kit & good, tight drumming is gripping and hard not to love. Our Drums course helps learners discover their rhythm, build ability to play a range of styles & genres, and also the dynamics required to make the drums 'sing' when they so desire. More...
This classical music form, normally associated with the Northern regions of the Indian Sub-continent is embraced all over the world. Based on the concepts of Raag & Taal, it encourages exploration & improvisation. Our Hindustani Vocals program takes students on a learning journey that is educative and wondrous at the same time, building a strong foundation while being sensitised to the nuances and intricacies at every stage. It also equips them to pursue any genre of Indian music subsequently. More...

Our success depends on the strength of our team. Apart from music, our mentors have one thing in common. They are passionate about and committed to teaching. They believe in our mission and contribute immensely to the way we do things together. Nothing gives them more joy than seeing their students bloom and progress, from their first lesson to their first performance, first creation, first recording and beyond. Each of our mentors is a qualified, experienced, talented and skilled musician. Apart from being performers, composers, producers & sessions artists, they have other interesting aspects to their personalities too.
