Lydian Nadhaswaram and Homeschooling

Lydian is in the ninth grade and is currently being homeschooled. According to him, homeschooling is the most suitable option for him as it provides him with the flexibility to focus on music. His schedule differs every day as it depends upon which piece he is practicing on. At the time of the interview, he was doing a part on the Piano for which he practices for 5-6 hours per day. He is focused on his education and studies whenever he gets the time. Home is the best environment to learn for Lydian as his father also teaches him. His father is a composer and plays various instruments. He is close to his father and gets all the support he needs from him.

Lydian said that he would do so if his father asks him to pursue further education in music. However, currently, his biggest aspiration is to collaborate with Jacob Collier. Jacob Collier is an incredible musician from London who has won 4 Grammy Awards and plays more than 15 instruments.
