Services
At GMA, What We Offer
Learn about what instruments you can pursue at GMA and our classes.

Keyboard
A keyboard is an electronic instrument that comes with several functionalities. It is ideal for a beginner player or someone who is just starting their music journey. We at GMA, welcome learners of all levels.
Keyboards have multiple volume options and can often produce sounds like piano, horns, strings, organs, synthesizers, and more. For a seamless learning experience, we recommend starting with the keyboards first, but if the piano is within reach, you can also begin with that.
The keyboard also allows you to play with backing tracks. Playing the keyboard is also good for encouraging exact playing in time. At GMA, you can find a comfortable experience in learning to play the keyboard at your own pace.
Classes are available in both online and offline modes

Piano
Are you someone who has always wanted to learn how to play the piano? The piano is one of the most versatile instruments a person can learn. It is an acoustic instrument with fully weighted keynotes. At GMA, we welcome all learners of piano at every level. Learning piano while may seem easy at first, requires the right guidance and focus.
We recommend that a beginner start with the keyboard and slowly progress toward the Piano, but if piano is in reach, one may begin with that. A keyboard will prove better in setting the base and foundation as piano keys are heavier than keyboard keys. With our curated lesson notes and plans, you are all set to become a lover of the piano!
Classes are available in both online and offline modes.

Drums
At GMA, one can also find the right facilitation for learning to play drums, whether you are a beginner player curious to learn how to play drums, an intermediate, or an advanced drum player. The acoustic drum set facility at GMA should be just what you need to get started.
While drumming could seem intimidating to learn at first, it's never too late to start learning how to play drums. We try to make the learning experience as feasible for you as possible. For some players, drumming can feel a bit hard or easy, as everyone has a varied pace of picking up the rhythm.
Classes are only available in offline mode.
UPDATE: We are so glad to announce that you can now pursue Drum Kit Performance Grades by ABRSM exclusively at GMA Bhopal. You can reach out to us to book your slots and start your learning journey today!
