Focused O/L Western Music Support
O/L Western Music students often need more than last-minute memorising. They need to understand the foundation behind the paper.
Support can focus on current weak areas, past papers, mock exams, listening, notation and revision planning.

Teaching approach
The immediate lesson sequence responds to the student's current exam needs while strengthening the missing basics underneath.
Why Hashini's approach is different
Hashini treats falling marks as a signal to diagnose the foundation, not as proof that the student cannot learn music.
What students and parents can expect
Parents receive realistic guidance on what can be improved through focused practice and what still needs time.
Fee guidance
Group lessons are LKR 6,000/month for four 2-hour lessons. One-to-one lessons are LKR 24,000/month for four 2-hour private lessons. The suitable format is confirmed after reviewing the student's age, level, goals and schedule.
