Mithilesh Ghritlahare

Hello! I’m Mithilesh Ghritlahare, a passionate musician, music educator, and founder of Advitiya Art and Music School. Music has been an important part of my life for over 16 years, and my journey as a musician has taught me that learning music is not just about playing an instrument; it’s about creativity, discipline, self-expression, and personal growth.

My goal as a music teacher is to make learning music enjoyable, structured, and meaningful for every student, whether they are complete beginners, hobbyists, aspiring performers, or students interested in pursuing internationally recognised graded music examinations.

My Teaching Approach

I strongly believe that every student is different and has their own pace, interests, and learning goals. That’s why I focus on personalised music lessons rather than following a one-size-fits-all teaching method.

My classes combine practical playing skills with essential music theory, rhythm, ear training, technique, and musical understanding. I believe students should not simply memorise notes or exercises but understand what they are playing and develop the confidence to make music independently.

Whether your goal is to play your favourite songs, learn classical music, accompany singers, perform on stage, or prepare for graded examinations, I structure lessons according to your individual requirements.

I also believe that learning music should never feel like a burden. My approach is to balance technical exercises and structured learning with songs and music that students genuinely enjoy.

Instruments and Areas of Teaching

My musical interests and teaching experience cover multiple areas of music education, including:

Piano and Keyboard: Developing strong fundamentals, finger technique, sight-reading, music theory, chords, scales, classical pieces, and popular songs.

Guitar: Learning chords, strumming patterns, rhythm, scales, finger exercises, lead guitar techniques, and songs.

Ukulele: Building a strong foundation in chords, strumming, rhythm, and song accompaniment.

Music Theory: Understanding musical notation, rhythm, scales, intervals, chords, harmony, and other essential musical concepts.

Music Performance: Developing stage confidence, musical expression, timing, and performance skills.

Drums: Learning drum kit fundamentals, stick control, hand and foot coordination, basic and advanced rudiments, grooves, fills, timing, reading drum notation, and playing along with music. My focus is on building strong rhythmic foundations and helping students become confident drummers.

Internationally Recognised Music Examinations

For students who wish to pursue a structured musical education, I also provide guidance and preparation for internationally recognised graded music examinations.

My teaching approach incorporates established syllabuses and learning standards from leading examination boards, including:

Trinity College London

ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music)

RSL Awards / Rockschool

Students can work towards developing their musical skills through graded levels, with a focus on practical performance, music theory, sight-reading, aural skills, and overall musicianship.

I believe certifications are valuable milestones, but developing a genuine understanding and love for music is equally important.

What Can You Expect From My Classes?

When you join my classes, you can expect a friendly, encouraging, and focused learning environment. I pay attention to individual progress and make sure students develop their fundamentals before moving towards more advanced techniques.

My lessons are suitable for:

Complete beginners with no previous musical experience.

Children interested in learning an instrument.

Adults who want to pursue music as a hobby.

Students preparing for graded music examinations.

Aspiring musicians who want to improve their playing and musical knowledge.

Students interested in learning their favourite songs and performing confidently.

I encourage regular practice, consistent learning, and setting achievable musical goals. I also provide constructive feedback so students understand their strengths and the areas they need to improve.

A Little More About My Philosophy

Over the years, my musical journey has strengthened my belief that anyone can learn music with the right guidance, patience, and consistent practice. You don’t need to be naturally gifted or have previous musical knowledge to get started. What matters most is your willingness to learn and enjoy the process.

Through Advitiya Art and Music School, I aim to create an environment where students can learn, create, perform, and grow as musicians.

Whether you are picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to take your musical skills to the next level, I would be happy to be a part of your journey.

Let’s discover the joy of making music together!
