ZAIK guitar classes is the best place I found in patna to learn music. Here not only different instruments are taught to play but vocals are done here excellently. One of the best reason to join this institution is that it is affiliated with prayag sangit samiti and is registered under Government of Bihar.When you ask me about the speciality of the institution, I would say that the mentor you'll find here is a true gentleman.Love to Mentor and the institution.RegardsArvind kumar
