I have been teaching since last 13 years and have gathered lots of experiences during my teaching profession.As a trainer, I greatly believe in creating a bond with my students and establishing a strong foundation in them.I believe to build up a strong base before proceeding on to the next level. Music needs dedication and lots of practice with patience. l experienced that same teaching process is not applicable for all types of students, though some basic techniques are there but a teacher 's teaching process should be modulated according to student's age, merits and learning capabilities.I try to make the learning process enjoyable and comfortable.In the learning of Music I always provide recordings for enabling my students to practice.

So being a vocal trainer, its my privilege to help my students to achieve their goal.Thank you for your time and patience to go through my profile. Have a good day!! Namashkar?
