PianoWelsh,

I'm an Indian living in New Delhi, the capital of India. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "nationally/internally recognized" conservatory/school - if you mean something like Juliard - I don't think there are any. Here in Delhi, there is the "Delhi School of Music" which is widely known in India (not sure about internationally), there a couple of other schools also such as the Theme Piano school, Brian Silas school, Performance Collective etc. There are also several private piano teachers (I myself go to a private teacher). All of them offer exams/diplomas from either Trinity/Royal boards.

It is possible that there are others that I don't know about, so if you get some information to that effect from Rohan Sahai or anyone else through PMs - please do share on this thread.

Regards,
Srivats

Greetings.

What piano technique schools are founded in India? Are they any different then the Western (such a broad term), or American approach? Please inform me of just what sort of technique your teacher focuses on, and if she uses any of the preconceinved schools.

Thanks alot.

Best.

Debussy,

I'm not clear what you mean by "technique school", so I'm unable to answer your question. If you would clarify I'll try and answer.

Oh, I am sorry for not being clear. By technique school I mean teaching methods unique to certain pianists, such as those living in Russia, or America or France. I myself use the French method and the Russian method, the two being practically inseperable. Really the Russian school was founded upon the French. I am just asking whether there is a separate Indian school, where they introduce their own methods of acquiring technique.

Debussy,

I understand now. Although in all honesty, I'm not exactly familiar with the American/French/Russian school - but I don't think there is an "Indian" school  - being a British Colony earlier before gaining its independence, it would be the British School, I guess :-) - so yes, It would be something akin to the American School
