What students say about learning with Nitin.

• Nitin has a very open approach to teaching that enabled all of us to feel at home asking him questions, learning fundamental concepts and have a good time building relationships. Nitin was able to give me insights into music theory that my previous music teachers simply glossed over, and I now feel more empowered to compose and arrange music myself. Highly recommended!

• Recently participated in Nitin's music theory workshop, and I must say, the way he effortlessly explained complex topics shattered the misconception that music theory is inherently challenging. Grateful for the insightful session, and a big thank you to Nitin for making the intricate world of music theory accessible. Highly recommend to anyone looking to delve into the subject with clarity and ease. 👏 Best part for me was I was learning the concepts by deconstructing my all time favourite songs. The approach is pretty awesome!

• I followed Nitin Sir after watching his A.R. Rahman song breakdown sessions on Instagram. After a few weeks or months, he announced his second theory workshop and I was excited to enrol. Little did I know I would be provided more value than what I asked for. Not only did he help us go through music theory, he deconstructed numerous songs so we could understand how to put in practice what we had learnt.

• Nitin's music theory workshop is totally one to do if you want to expand and explore the theoretical aspect of music. For the first time in my 25 years of musical journey, I can finally start to realise and understand how beautiful the western theory of music is which I have always dreaded.

• I attended this music theory workshop recently, and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing! I went in thinking I had a good grasp of music theory, but really, I was in for a surprise. The workshop took us from basics to advanced concepts that I had never explored before. Nitin Sir is simply brilliant. His teaching style is fantastic; he patiently explains everything until you truly get it. Now, I have the understanding of how to deconstruct any song and truly comprehend why they sound the way they do. You all might think you can learn this stuff online, but trust me, this workshop is on a whole new level. Every music enthusiast should join; it's totally worth your time and money.

• I am a complete newbie in music, this is the first music class of my whole life. But I can say that, the kind of articulation of complex music theory and its concepts, nitin sir is really the best as a music composer too and especially as a music teacher. His expertise you can sense in just 5m of a any music conversation with him. Thank you so much @nitindubeymusic sir. Immense respect for you❤️

• I was looking for such sessions and thought music theory!? Is it really required to join? I can learn it! But after speaking to Nitin, I was convinced, and post sessions I can 100% assure that it will be more than worth it with theory and practical & applicable ways. More importantly, the stuff that's most important for any music learner to understand - the beauty in a song, more than basic understanding. Nitin has helped us to look with a wider perspective whenever we listen to the other songs and then onwards!!!! If you can afford the time & money, I would strongly recommend to join the sessions or get his courses.. Thank you @nitindubeymusic for some wonderful sessions!!!❤️

• Happy to be a part of this workshop and the amazing group of people! Music theory whilst important can often be intimidating for somebody starting out. On a personal level, I have always struggled with understanding harmony. @nitindubeymusic excels at breaking down complex musical concepts and distilling them with examples from popular music. I am looking forward to rest of sessions and to finally having a strong foundation to build on.
