Raag Sarita Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, located in Beta II, Greater Noida, has become the most trusted address for keyboard classes in the entire National Capital Region since its founding in 2011 by veteran pianist and composer Pandit Sarit Sharma. Set in a sound-proofed, climate-controlled 2,800 sq ft studio on the third floor of the Galleria Market complex, the academy houses eight individual practice pods that are each equipped with graded hammer-action digital consoles (Yamaha P-515 / Casio PX-S3000), individual 15-inch reference monitors, and USB-audio interfaces for immediate recording and analysis. A separate ensemble room accommodates two nine-foot acoustic grands (Yamaha C3X and Kawai GX-2) and a professional monitoring desk capable of feeding 5.1 surround programs to students who have reached the performance diploma level.
Courses follow the Trinity College London syllabus and are supplemented by Panditji’s own RaagChroma curriculum, an innovative blend of Hindustani ornamentation (meend, gamak) and western harmony. Beginners aged six to sixty start with the 32-session Foundation Certificate in Electronic Keyboard, which covers finger-technique fixed on C major / A minor before opening up modal positions. At the next tier, the 52-week Intermediate-Grade Labs immerse students into voice-leading, comping patterns, and real-time chord substitution using lead sheets from Hindi film classics, indie pop, and jazz standards. Advanced aspirants prepare for the ATCL and LTCL recital diplomas, supervised three days a week by visiting faculty drawn from Delhi’s Dhruv Arts Collective and Mumbai’s True School of Music; every Saturday evening the room transforms into a black-box recital space where incomers perform original pieces in a dim 60-seat audience configuration under full theatrical lighting guided by the house light-design student team.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the school streams masterclasses online for the 140 remote learners who connect while an overhead PTZ camera tracks teacher keystrokes in 4 K. Monthly jams with the in-house tabla and guitar departments allow keyboardists to thicken Bollywood arrangements; recent collaborative projects have included live re-scoring of short films from Whistling Woods International and funk reharmonization of old bhajans in partnership with Spic Macay. Annual registration (₹28 000 including syllabus books and Trinity exam entry) is kept deliberately below market rate so that Greater Noida’s metro commuters and nearby college-goers can still afford premium instruction. Two need-based scholarships—each covering 75 percent tuition—are awarded every December at an open-air concert held on the adjoining public plaza.
