Everything you need is on this one page — the live calendar, the fees, the two ways to pay and the confirmation form. Choose a slot below and it is held straight away. No deposit, no card details, nothing charged to reserve it.
Real availability, straight from the teacher's own diary. Free to take, free to move, and nothing is charged to reserve it.
Calendar not loading? A browser extension or a slow connection can block it — use either button instead.
Open Calendar Book on WhatsAppTimes above are India Standard Time (UTC+5:30, no daylight saving). The calendar converts to your own time zone automatically — online students joining from abroad, please double-check the converted time before you confirm.
Tap a card and it opens that course in the calendar above, ready to book — and fills it into the form at step four so you never type it twice.
Nothing is due to book. Pay in full on your first day at the school, or send it beforehand by either route below if you would rather have it done.
The most straightforward route for both Indian and overseas students. Transfers from within India usually clear the same day; from outside India they normally take two to four working days to arrive.
Your bank may charge an international transfer fee. That fee is set by your bank, not by us, and is not part of the course price.
Often the easiest route from Europe, the UK, North America and Australia. Send it as a normal payment and add your name and course length in the note so we can match it to your booking.
PayPal deducts its own conversion and processing fee from the amount received. Please send the fee plus PayPal's charge, or ask us and we will confirm the exact figure before you send anything.
A note on safety. We will never ask for your card number, CVV, PIN, net-banking password or an OTP — not by WhatsApp, not by phone, not by email. Anyone who does is not us. We only ever share the bank and PayPal details shown here, and this website contains no payment form of its own.
One short form. It opens WhatsApp with everything written out for you — nothing is submitted to this website and nothing is stored here.
Use this whether you have just paid, or have only picked a time and want to tell us what you would like to study. Both are useful to us, and either way you will get a written confirmation back.
If you have already sent the fee, attach the payment screenshot in the WhatsApp chat once it opens — that is the quickest way for us to match a transfer to a booking.
Written plainly, so there is nothing left to discover after you have paid.
Accommodation. Rishikesh Music Class provides music courses only. We do not offer rooms, and no hotel or ashram stay is part of the fee. Please book your own before arriving — there are many affordable options within walking distance at Laxman Jhula, and we are glad to suggest areas.
Your own instrument. A school instrument is available during class, so you need nothing on day one. For daily practice your own instrument helps considerably; your teacher will advise on quality and fair local pricing.
Travel, visa and bank charges. Including any international transfer or PayPal fee your provider deducts.
Rescheduling. Let us know at least a few hours ahead and we will move a class rather than count it as taken. Life in Rishikesh is unpredictable and we are reasonable about it.
If you cannot come. Since nothing is charged to reserve a slot, cancelling before you arrive costs you nothing at all.
Once a course has started. Unused sessions can usually be transferred to a later visit or to online lessons. For refunds on sessions paid but not taken, speak to us directly — we would rather hear the situation and deal with it fairly than hide behind a policy line.
Then ask. Tell us the instrument, roughly how many sessions and when you will be in Rishikesh, and we will do the arranging for you — usually within a few hours.
