"I started from zero 8 months back. I had no idea about what singing is all about. Debaleena mam started grooming me from an absolute naive and today I am very close to singing the notes correctly (it actually takes a lot of time, also depends on practice). I don’t know if singing can be taught any better. Mam, has lot of patience and treats her students as individuals who might need extra help. She is always approachable to answer your questions. The environment at her school is always active with events and she always encourages you to volunteer to perform. Even during the COVID times my class has progressed a lot as Mam rightly used technology platform to continue teaching us. Mam’s knowledge and singing skills are like Saraswati herself! No one except Shiva is a perfect singer and the best singers are still learning. A guru is no one but a senior student who shows you the path, walking on which you enhance your skills. Hindustani classical is an ancient art that needs you to be dedicated to the process rather than the results. As time goes by, my respect for the art and my Guru (Smt. Debaleena) increases! "

"I tried a few academies where they teach Hindustani classical but I did not find the curriculum as organised. There was no depth in learning. Then I found Debaleena maâ??am through urban pro. The curriculum, depth and personal attention works very well for me. We are allowed to learn at our pace and I find that very useful. "

The content is comparable to what the best institutes offer. Being an ex-software engineering, the pedagogy is very apt and immediately clicks. She takes great care to ensure everyone is at par. "
