No reviews yet

I have done my PhD in Music from the esteemed Bhatkhande University in Lucknow. I decided to work as a school teacher after that as I had a zeal to teach young children. Indian Classical Music is part of our heritage and I do take pride in educating the new generation about the same. I believe this will help us to carry forward our heritage to the future generations. Looking forward for sincere students who are willing to learn and excel in the field of Indian Classical Music. I am willing to go an extra mile to help those students who have the passion, will, grit and determination to carry forward this legacy. I will be happy to guide them on a complete music curriculum and help them achieve the same by teaching them the art of classical music in a step by step manner. I am open for any queries/interaction on my teaching methodology and way forward on the same. I am adept at using today's communication tools like Teams, Zoom etc to conduct online classes and impart education in a friendly timezone

As part of the Vocal Music class I teach the students all about Hindustani Classical/Light Music. As part of these classes I cover all aspects of Vocal music. We start from the basic knowledge of music, voice modulations, vocal range, pitch and tone of the students. I help them in learning the breathing techniques. We start with the basic knowledge of Swaraa and Alankars. Then we teach about Taalas. This is followed by introduction to Raagas, Aaroh, Avroh and Song Notations. Then we move to more advanced topics based on the ability and interest of the students. In light music classed we pick a subset from the above and train the students on bhajans, folks songs and Bollywood music as per the interest of the learner. We also have the options to make the students learn the keyboard.
