  • “My kid is a special needs kid. The instructor was able to teach him with no issues. My kid is all excited and most of the time he is on the piano now rather than on TV. I am happy.”
    Leela Vattikuti🇺🇸 USA · May 2026Trustpilot
  • “Artium is an excellent platform with many features and great use of technology. The price is reasonable too. It adjusts to NRIs with teachers sacrificing their good night's sleep. … My piano teacher UdhayaNidhi is so understanding and always encouraging with his kind supportive words, due to which I now have my kid go there for piano too.”
    S Kamat🇺🇸 USA · June 2026Trustpilot
  • “Our journey with Artium Academy started in 2023, when my son was just 6 years old. … Over the years, I have watched him grow—not just as a singer, but as a confident young performer. … What I love most about Artium is that it has helped him stay connected to Indian music and our cultural roots while also exploring different styles of music.”
    Himani🇺🇸 USA · August 2026Trustpilot
  • “My daughter Arna has been learning Hindi Classical music from teacher Gaurav Dubey sir, and the experience has been transformative. He possesses a deep, profound knowledge of Raagas. He breaks down complex Alankars and teaches with lot of patience, so that even a beginner like Arna who lives outside India … can grasp them.”
    Shubhi Shrivastava🇺🇸 USA · January 2026Trustpilot
  • “My son Ashwin is currently learning Carnatic Music. … Our teacher Lakshmi Priya is excellent and amazing. Her music knowledge and composing skills are brilliant. Her ability to handle kids are just as good. Her commitment drives my son to develop his music skills.”
    Sasireka Selvarajan🇺🇸 USA · July 2025Trustpilot
  • “When I first joined Artium Academy, I was a beginner. I am now on a proficient level in Carnatic singing. I thank my teacher, Dr. Valluri sir. The knowledge he has in singing and music is immense. The time slots are so flexible. I recommend Artium Academy to learn any forms of classical music.”
