Not just looking to learn but itching to perform as well? Kolkata Music Academy is where you need to head. The academy aims to preserve Western classical music – and they describe themselves as an “extraordinary family of music”. They also conduct music workshops where you can meet and practice with western music fans like yourself. You might even catch a glimpse of one of their practice sessions of their chamber orchestra. Fees differ according to frequency of classes and the instrument you chose, but you can expect a monthly pocket pinch of INR 2,000+.
