GADD9 Creative Academy in Ravipuram, Kochi is built for absolute beginners and children from age 5 upward. Every student starts with a placement chat and a free trial class, then follows a one-on-one or small-group track across 23 disciplines — vocal, instruments, dance and art.
GADD9 teaches primarily one-on-one, with 45–60 minute sessions built around each student's goal, pace and schedule. Rather than fixed batch syllabi, mentors adapt the lesson plan weekly, which is what distinguishes us from larger batch-driven music schools in Kochi.
Yes. GADD9 runs live one-on-one online music classes for NRI and international students across the Gulf, Europe, the US, Australia and Singapore. Slots are scheduled in your local time zone, and classes run over video call with the same mentors who teach in Kochi.
All four. GADD9 teaches 23 disciplines: Carnatic and Western vocal, guitar, keys, violin, Western violin, veena, flute, drums, tabla, mridangam, chenda, thavil, Bharathanatyam, Mohiniyattam, semiclassical, fusion Kathak, Western dance, cinematic dance, choreography, dance for kids, Zumba, and drawing & art.
Both, as separate tracks. Carnatic music covers sarali varisai to varnams, sruti and raga work; Western vocal covers breath support, pitch, range, mic technique and contemporary repertoire. Students may study one or combine both.
Yes. GADD9 teaches children from age 5, teenagers, working adults and senior learners. Adults typically take weekend or evening slots; kids take after-school slots. Studio hours are Mon–Sun, 9 AM – 8 PM.
You book a free trial, we match you with a mentor, and you get a fixed weekly slot in your own time zone. Classes are live over video call, 45–60 minutes, with practice notes shared after each session and recordings of demonstrations where useful.
GADD9 is at Alapat Cross Road, Ravipuram, near Panampilly Railway cross, Kochi 682016, Kerala, India — Alapat Cross Road, Ravipuram, near the Panampilly railway cross, a short drive from MG Road, Panampilly Nagar, Kadavanthra and Ernakulam South.
Fees depend on discipline, session length and whether you take one-on-one or group classes. GADD9 keeps fees affordable and transparent, with flexible monthly plans for both offline classes in Kochi and online classes. Call +91 97463 38724 or email info.gadd9@gmail.com for the exact fee for your chosen class.
Yes — every prospective student gets one free trial class, offline in Kochi or online. Book it from the Free Trial page or call +91 97463 38724; there is no obligation to enrol after the trial.
Children can start from age 5. Ages 5–7 begin with rhythm, listening and voice play; from age 8 onward students move into structured instrument or vocal training with graded milestones.
No prior experience is needed — most students start from zero. Studio instruments are available for use during class in Kochi; for online classes you will need your own instrument, and mentors advise on affordable beginner options.
Standard sessions run 45–60 minutes. Most students take one or two sessions a week; dance, Zumba and workshop formats may run longer. Schedules are fixed weekly and can be rescheduled with notice.
Yes. Students work toward stage performances at our seasonal showcases (Vishu, Onam, Summer Camp, Christmas recital), plus graded exam and audition preparation for those who want it, guided by performing-professional mentors.
Vocal classes run seven days a week between 9 AM and 8 PM at the Ravipuram studio, so most students find a slot within their commute or work window. If travel is difficult, the same mentors teach the identical syllabus online.
Four pillars shape every learner's experience at GADD9 — wherever you start.
Every student gets a teacher matched to their goals and a roadmap that flexes with their week. Three stages — Foundation, Development, Mastery — with milestones you can feel.
We teach theory in the context of pieces you love — scales, intervals, rhythm and harmony become tools, not homework. By Stage 2, you'll be reading, transcribing and composing simple ideas of your own.
Live waveforms, looping tools and slow-down playback help students hear (and see) progress every session. Visual feedback turns abstract ideas — pitch, tempo, tone — into something you can practise with.
