Class times in United States

We plan across three US time bands: Eastern Time, Central Time and Pacific Time. For example, 20:00 IST is 09:30 ET, 08:30 CT or 06:30 PT during standard time; daylight saving changes are handled when the exact lesson is arranged. Weekday US-evening slots need a dedicated early-morning Chennai shift - ask us about availability.

  • New York & New Jersey
  • Chicago
  • San Francisco Bay Area
  • San Jose
  • Dallas–Fort Worth

Brooks students in the US

  • The US route is organised around Eastern, Central and Pacific Time so families can request a slot in the time zone they actually use.
  • US learners can ask for an ABRSM-focused theory and exam-preparation plan alongside instrumental or vocal lessons, with the syllabus and level confirmed before enrolment.
  • It gives Indian families in major hubs—including New York and New Jersey, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, Dallas–Fort Worth, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Philadelphia—a single relevant online route.
  • The city list is an audience signal, not a promise of local branches: Brooks teaches live from Chennai and confirms the exact schedule, instrument setup and fee before enrolment.

Questions about online lessons

Is this a recorded course?
No. Classes are taught live, so the teacher can listen, observe and change the task in response to the learner's attempt.
What happens if there is noticeable audio delay?
Teacher and learner generally avoid trying to perform simultaneously over the call. Instead they use alternating demonstration and response, counted entries, backing references and visual pulse where useful.
Can a beginner start online?
Yes in many disciplines. Suitability depends on age, setup and the kind of physical feedback required. A trial gives better evidence than a blanket rule.
How are materials shared?
The exact method depends on the course and teacher. Ask during the trial how repertoire, lesson notes or project references will be organised for your programme.
Can we change location while continuing lessons?
Online learning can support continuity across travel or relocation, subject to arranging a mutually workable time. Confirm individual scheduling needs directly with the team.
Can I join online music classes from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar or Oman?
Yes. Brooks teaches live online from Chennai to families across the Gulf. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar use UTC+3, while the UAE and Oman use UTC+4; tell us your city and we will match a practical lesson time.
Do you teach Carnatic and Western vocals online from Chennai to the Gulf?
Yes. Carnatic and Western vocal lessons are taught live online, alongside piano, keyboard, guitar, ukulele, violin, drums and music theory. The teacher adapts the lesson to the learner's level, goals and home setup.
