Your Instrument. Your Passion. Your Moment.

Have you ever dreamed of performing on a real stage?

And every musician has a dream. INSTRUMELODIES is where these dreams find a stage.

Do you spend hours playing your favourite melodies on a flute, keyboard, guitar, harmonica, violin or any other musical instrument — but rarely get an opportunity to perform before a live audience?

Have friends and family told you that you play beautifully, yet you have never taken that first step towards a public performance?

Then this is your moment!

INSTRUMELODIES is a unique musical initiative by Notes & Sargam, created to encourage, celebrate and promote amateur instrumental musicians.  Unlike conventional concerts that primarily feature professional performers, INSTRUMELODIES celebrates people who play musical instruments out of passion. Many are self-taught. Some are working professionals. Others are students, homemakers or senior citizens who have found happiness in music. For them, music is not necessarily a career. It is a passion, a stress buster, a lifelong companion and a source of joy.

INSTRUMELODIES provides these passionate musicians with an opportunity to perform on a live stage, connect with fellow music lovers and experience the thrill of a public performance.  It is more than a concert. It is a celebration of musical passion, perseverance and the belief that it is never too late to learn, play or perform.

After three inspiring seasons celebrating the joy of instrumental music, INSTRUMELODIES returns to bring together passionate amateur musicians from across India. This is your opportunity to step out of your living room, overcome stage fear and let your music reach a live audience.

You don’t need to be a professional musician. You don’t need a music degree. You don’t need years of formal training. All you need is a love for music, an instrument and the courage to share your talent.

In a world where music is increasingly consumed through mobile phones, headphones and digital playlists, INSTRUMELODIES brings back the joy of creating music with your own hands.

It is a platform dedicated to instrumental music, celebrating the beauty, diversity and timeless appeal of musical instruments.

From the soulful notes of a bamboo flute to the energetic strumming of a guitar, from the nostalgic sound of a harmonica to the magical tunes of a keyboard — every instrument has a story to tell.

Our journey began with a simple idea: to give passionate, self-taught and amateur instrumentalists an opportunity they often miss — performing in a professionally curated musical event.

Over the previous seasons, the event has brought together performers of different ages, backgrounds and musical abilities, creating a community where passion matters more than perfection.

Now, we invite you to become a part of this musical journey.

Notwithstanding how old or young you are, if you are a passionate instrumentalist who can play some musical instrument in ‘sur, taal and laya’ then you can participate.

You may be:

• A self-taught musician who learnt through YouTube, books or sheer determination.

• A working professional who finds happiness in playing music after office hours.

• A student who wants to showcase musical talent beyond academics.

• A homemaker who has nurtured a musical passion for years.

• A senior citizen who believes music has no retirement age.

• A hobbyist who has always wanted to perform before a live audience.

• A member of a musical group looking for an opportunity to perform together.

If music is your passion and your instrument is your voice, INSTRUMELODIES is for you!

We welcome performances on a wide range of instruments, literally any musical instrument, including:

Bansuri (Flute), Harmonium, Harmonica, Keyboard, Piano, Violin, Guitar, Accordion, Melodica, Saxophone, Sitar, Sarod, Santoor, Mandolin, Banjo, Pan Flute, Percussion instruments… anything that produces music! 

Have an unusual or lesser-known instrument? We would love to hear it!  The more diverse the instruments, the richer the musical experience.

Solo and group performances are welcome.

Slots available : 15 for Solo.  05 for Groups.

Performance Time : max. 5 minutes for solo.  And, for group – max. 10 minutes 

Let’s be honest. Most amateur musicians play for themselves, their families or a small circle of friends.

But imagine playing your favourite melody on stage, under the lights, while an audience listens, smiles and applauds. That feeling is priceless!

• Perform Live: Showcase your musical talent before a live audience in Delhi.

And perhaps the greatest reward?  You will finally be able to say: “I performed on stage!”

Getting on stage begins with a simple step. Here’s how you can become a part of INSTRUMELODIES 2027.

Step 1: Record Your Performance

Successful participants will be invited to perform at INSTRUMELODIES Season 4 in Delhi in February 2027.

Get ready to share your music, meet fellow musicians and create unforgettable memories!

Auditions Open – Untill 30th November 2026.

• You don’t need to have won a music competition.
• You don’t need to have a music degree.
• You don’t need to be famous on social media.
• You don’t even need to be perfect.

All you need is an instrument, a melody you love and the courage to share it.

Perhaps you have been playing the flute for ten years but have never performed publicly. Perhaps you learnt the keyboard during childhood and recently rediscovered your passion. Perhaps you are a retired professional who has finally found time for music.

Whatever your story, we would love to hear it.

At INSTRUMELODIES, we believe that music is not just about talent. It is about dedication, emotion, discipline and the joy of creating something beautiful.

So, dust off your instrument, tune it up, practise that favourite melody and get ready!
