Built by Musicians for Musicians
At Open String Music Works, we believe music isn't just taught – it's lived.
Founded by passionate performers, we’ve created a space in Gurgaon where learners, artists, and hobbyists come together to grow, explore, and celebrate sound. Whether you’re 7 or 70, picking up your first chord or prepping for your next gig, OSM is designed to meet you where you are – and take you where you want to go.
We’re not a traditional music school. We’re a creative hub.
- Classes with stage time.
- Practice rooms with recording options.
- Mentors who perform/play live.
- A community that jams, records, and performs together.
We don’t just teach music – we help you become part of it.
What Drives Us ?
Authenticity – Learn from mentors who live the craft.
Creativity – Every learner is different; so is every journey.
Performance – From the practice room to the spotlight.
Community – Musicians grow best with other musicians.
Join us. Let’s write your sound story – one note at a time.
Meet The Mentors
Real Musicians. Real Passion. Real Learning.
Our mentors aren’t just teachers – they’re performers, composers, band members, and studio artists. Each brings stage-tested skills, deep music knowledge, and a commitment to helping every learner find their groove.
Adarsh Pothuraju
Can play in odd time, but never off time. Also — probably eating biryani right now. Multi-genre drumming wizard with years of stage and studio experience. From jazz to metal, he grooves through it all while cracking jokes and rolling paradiddles. Played with numerous bands, and when he's not gigging, he’s mentoring the next gen with a rhythm and humour combo that’s hard to beat.
Deborah Ann Trott
Understands your mind. Trains your voice. And probably has cooler stickers than you. Brings a rare blend of psychology, musicianship, and stage energy. A powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Deeply skilled in music theory and bass grooves. Her sessions are full of insight, warmth, and Lego-level creativity. Learners love her clarity and encouragement. And quirky F1 metaphors.
Ren Tsopoe
Spends more time on time than your alarm clock. Precision is an art. Over 20 years of experience. The kind of mentor you want when you're serious about your craft - whether you're just starting or polishing a performance piece. Patient, structured, and deeply passionate about music, he’s a favourite among learners of all ages. And yes, he’s always early.
Sevotolu Lohe (Sevo)
Lives for classical music, naga food, and honest conversations. A passionate classical pianist. Believes in learning as much as teaching. She’ll meet you with patience, skill, and sincerity. Always in pursuit of musical depth - and the perfect Naga dish.
Chumbemo Khuvung (Bemo)
Plays every stringed thing. Part-time forest elf, full-time Strat whisperer. A string connoisseur - electric, acoustic, bass, ukulele, you name it. Playing guitar is as wild as his love for the forest. His humour matches his musical range. Brings energy, empathy, and laughter to every session.
