Rodden De Souza’s School of Music Calangute is hands-down the best affordable music school in Calangute. What sets Rodden apart is how he customises every lesson to your level and goal — no cookie-cutter approach. His exercises are targeted and efficient, cutting your learning time dramatically. He’s less of a teacher and more of a mentor who finds your fastest route to actually playing music. Absolutely worth every rupee.

Rodden’s skips the boring bits and gets you playing actual music from day one.
Best for your kids, as music helps them focus and increase their attention span.

An Exceptional Music Teacher
I've known Rodden for over 25 years and have always admired his dedication, discipline, and attention to detail.
Music is not just something he teaches—it's something he lives and breathes. As a musician, he is meticulous and strives for excellence in everything he does, and that same commitment carries through to his teaching.
Students learning under Rodden benefit from his patience, professionalism, and genuine passion for helping others develop their musical abilities.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated music teacher.

Before It felt like I byhearted everything I played on the guitar ,
But one class in with sir Rodden and I felt like I could understand more of what I played , I remember we learnt the pentatonic scale and how to utilize it to build a riff for any song , as a college going student I must say this skill really helped when I was called to play in the college band , thank you so much sir ,Highly recommended

As a retired Guitar Instructor myself in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and London. Rodden D'Souza is Guitar Teacher who I will not hesitate to recommend to a student of the Guitar of any level.
Rodden has acquired a vast knowledge of impeccable skill and playing experience for the past 25 years. It is this kind of insight and musicality that needs to be passed on to the students of today, and Rodden fits this mould beautifully.
