    Aarya Chichria🇦🇺 Australia · March 2026Trustpilot
  • “My musical journey in popular Hindi music began nearly a year ago with my fantastic teacher, Suraksha Kumar. … Finding a good teacher solves half your problem. … I also started western singing classes with Vivaan, who taught me how to sing without straining my voice. The teachers and staff are experienced and supportive.”
    Priyanca Chauhan🇦🇺 Australia · August 2026Trustpilot
  • “I am very proud and happy to be studying at Artium Academy with my excellent teacher, Alwin Vargese. Even though he is from Kerala, he quickly listens to new Tamil songs and teaches them to me exactly as they were originally sung. He is extremely patient and works with me until I can sing correctly and confidently.”
    Vimala Thissai🇦🇺 Australia · June 2026Trustpilot
  • “The classes are very well structured and progress step by step, which is great for a beginner like me. My Teacher, Mansi Dhade ji, is absolutely awesome. … She gives personal, honest and at times constructive feedback on voice, pitch, and emotion in every class. Highly recommend Artium for anyone who wants to learn Hindi film music with understanding of sur, taal and basics of Hindustani classical music in a right way.”
    Nitin Rakshe🇦🇺 Australia · July 2026Trustpilot
  • “I am learning Hindustani classical from Neeladri Charles. He is an exceptional teacher. His knowledge of theory is amazing. … The other unique attribute is that he makes the effort to accommodate my times as I am overseas.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child learn guitar from teachers in India while living in Australia?

Yes. Artium's live 1:1 classes make it possible for children in Australia to learn from experienced teachers in India. For families living away from India, it is also a way to stay connected to the music and traditions they grew up with.

Is online guitar suitable for children in Australia?

Yes. Classes are live and personalised rather than pre recorded. The academic team assesses the child's current level during the free trial and recommends a suitable starting point.

What will my child learn in guitar classes?

Progressive guitar learning covering guitar basics, tuning, notes, chords, rhythm, strumming, tablature, scales, repertoire, sight reading and more advanced techniques.

Can my child learn guitar if they are a complete beginner?

Absolutely. Children do not need prior formal training to start. The learning plan is adapted to their age, current ability and pace, so beginners can build their foundations step by step.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Parents can stay connected to the learning journey through the structured curriculum, assignments, practice activities and teacher feedback. Artium also provides tools that help learners practise between classes and track their progress.

Who leads the Guitar course at Artium?

Raju Singh is the Faculty Head for Guitar. The course is designed and curated under this academic leadership, while classes are delivered by Artium's trained teachers.

Does my child need to own a guitar before starting online lessons?

Your child will need a suitable guitar to practise between classes. If you are buying one for a beginner, the teacher can help you understand what type and size would be appropriate.

Is guitar too difficult for a young beginner?

Not necessarily. The programme starts slowly with basics such as posture, tuning, notes, rhythm, simple chords and strumming, and builds as your child becomes more comfortable.

How much should my child practise guitar between classes?

Short, regular practice is usually enough to start with. The teacher can give your child a few focused exercises and songs so practice feels manageable and enjoyable.
