PURSUE THE MUSICIAN IN YOU!
With Our Piano Courses
Piano is the most popular and perhaps the best beginning instrument for the young or young-at-heart musician. All styles from classical to jazz and pop are offered to students of all ages and abilities, be they beginners or very advanced. We have a wide range of students: students who want to play just for fun, students who excel with the Trinity Guildhall of Music curriculum and students who want to prepare for a career in music.
Beginning with the natural hand/arm technique, students at Sasensky learn solid basic technique (correct position, finger dexterity, flexibility, and more). Students also learn the rudiments of music: sight reading, rhythmic notation, meter, and harmony. Since the piano allows for highly diverse methodologies and repertoire, music can be carefully selected to match the needs and strengths of each student. Memorization, theory, practicing skills, musicality, and self-listening are taught from the first lesson. For older, more advanced students, we teach musical clarity and power, technical facility, development of a large tonal palate, and an understanding of musical structure. Students continue to expand their repertoire from Baroque to 20th century composers, while searching for their own voice through interpretation.
The goal of the piano program is to enhance students’ love of music within a program that is both comprehensive and flexible. Proper performance etiquette is emphasized. The opportunity to participate in a small ensemble is available throughout the academic year.

We are thrilled to be a part of Sasensky School of Piano for over two years for our Son’s exploration of the wonderful world of western music. Sashi’s approach and teaching style truly differentiates from many traditional lessons and helps the kids engaged in music not only in class but also at home. Sashi managed to keep the kids motivated through online classes even during the pandemic period, engaging with them with different interesting activities. As parents, we are delighted in our Son’s progress and we are confident that he would excel with the guidance that he receives. We wish Sasensky School of Piano a very bright future!

Ms Shashi was recommended to me by a friend whose kids were learning to play the piano by her. My son Jd, had never played a musical instrument before & the progress he made during such a short time with Shashi as a teacher far exceeded any expectations. Ms Shashi’s enthusiasm, love of playing the piano and her teaching skills is the reason Jd enjoys going week after week for classes. Shashi’s positive approach to teaching was evident when Covid disrupted physical lessons and she immediately started online classes, marking work online and even having games and recitals to keep the kids motivated in such trying times. She is also very proud of each and every student which was evident during recitals. Shashi sets high standards and expectations that she makes clear to her students which has driven my son to do better. We are so grateful to Shashi for her commitment and highly recommend her as a music teacher for any child who wishes to learn piano.

My daughter has been attending the Sasensky School of Piano for the last 4 years. Shashi and her team of teachers have done very well with teaching the basics of music in both practical and theory throughout the years and I have noticed a remarkable improvement in my daughters musical skill and knowledge. The classes have been effectively sized in order to provide proper attention to each child and their teaching techniques are strong, kind and yet firm to ensure the children get the best out of their time spent in class and also practice time at home. While physical classes have worked remarkably well, the Sasensky School of Piano also took on the added challenge in 2020 to quickly adapt to the new way of working considering the safety of the children. The classes were swiftly moved to an online platform and the children were kept engaged to learn even during these difficult times. The year was topped off by an amazing virtual concert which encouraged children to not only showcase their skills with the Piano but also other musical talents. I am very pleased with having enrolled my daughter in this music school and hope to see bigger and better things going forward. All the best to Shashi and the Sasensky school of Piano! Cheers.

A friend introduced me to Sasensky School of Piano few years ago, when my daughter was taking the initial steps of her musical journey. Like any other beginner, she had her ups and downs, success as well as disappointment. Sometimes when she thought of giving up, I felt that the gentle encouragement of Sashi was instrumental in getting her back on track. Today, she is extremely enthusiastic about music and confident in her own ability. When all activities came to a stop due to COVID-19, Shashi and the Sasensky School of Piano was there with the kids adding variety to their monotonous life. While preparing for exams online, there were so many activities organized like quizzes and recitals and the ‘virtual recital 2020’ the climax of the events. Thank you, ‘Sasensky School of Piano’, for the continuous guidance and dedication.

My son and daughter, now aged 18 and 15, have been students of Sasensky School of Piano since 2011. I have seen both of them blossom in their love for music through the years, due to the learning experience they receive from the school. Our sincere appreciation to Ms. Shashi, who guides the students with dedication, love, and discipline. We are blessed to be a part of the school.

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Shashikala for being an amazing teacher & an admiring person to my daughter Senudhi. It’s been a little over a year since my daughter joined Sasensky School of Piano & she loves attending the class every day without missing a single lesson because of your love, kindness, patience, politeness, pleasantness & the list goes on. Last year had been a really difficult year for children as well as us parents.
Understanding the situation Ms. Shashikala managed to conduct classes maintaining safety & was able to channel these little minds to a happy, fun & an interactive place. Senudhi is truly blessed to have found a teacher as enthusiastic & hard working as you are. I wish You & Sasensky School of Piano all the very best for the future! May you gain all the strength & support you need to make everything a success! I highly recommend Ms. Shashikala as a great Music teacher!
Loving Regards
