Music, properly taught.
An ABRSM-affiliated music academy in Bangalore — piano, guitar, violin, cello and more, taught in person at two centres and online worldwide.
ABRSM affiliated · MSME registered · Certified music therapists on faculty
Cornucopia follows the ABRSM curriculum — the international standard for music examinations in over 90 countries.

What Cornucopia teaches that most academies don’t
A curriculum, not a syllabus
ABRSM is a graded international path — every student knows where they are and where they’re going. Progress is measured, not assumed. A Grade 3 piano student in Bangalore plays from the same repertoire as one in London.
Teaching for a lifetime, not just the next exam
Exams matter, and our students pass them. But the goal is musicianship — a student still playing at thirty because they were taught to listen at eight. Our faculty teach to that horizon.
Music for wellbeing
Cornucopia has certified music therapists on faculty. Clinical music-therapy research shapes how we teach — particularly with students who come to music for focus, regulation or recovery alongside skill. This is unusual for a music school. It matters.
Who Cornucopia is for
Working professionals
Evening and weekend slots at both centres, and online classes for the weeks the commute wins. We build schedules around your work — not the other way around.
School students
Structured ABRSM progression that respects the realities of an Indian academic year — board-exam cycles, term breaks, school ensembles. Music as a long arc, not another tuition.
NRI families
A dedicated online programme: Bangalore-trained faculty, ABRSM-aligned curriculum, time-zone-aware scheduling. For Indian families abroad who want their children’s classical music education to travel with them.

What our students say
“I’ve been learning music here for 4 years, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.” — Daria Beatrice
“The teachers are extremely patient and supportive, especially for beginners like me learning guitar. They thoughtfully customize the curriculum based on each student’s pace and availability.” — Mrudula
