"I am student of Venkat sir for more than a year now. I feel blessed to have him as my teacher. His structured way of teaching with the focus on the nuances of ragas gives very good clarity on how I should approach the Kritis. He also chooses Kritis best suited for me. This also improves the confidence. Hence, I can learn the singing with increasing complexity over a period of time. Thank you Sir. "

"I am student of Venkat sir who picked music back after a gap of 25+ years about an year ago. I am so glad I found him as my Guru. What amazes me is not only his deep knowledge about the ragas and composers but also his understanding of the Saahithyam and the meaning of all the compositions. This shows his passion and love for music. He is the most pleasant guru I have ever had. He has a good read of my pace of learning so he is able to pace my learning well. Super glad that I have him as my guru. "

"I have been laerning Carnatic Vocal from Venkat Sir since 6 months. Three of my cousins are also takking the lessons from him (one of them who has been his students since one and half years recommended him to me). He is extremely professional and understands and supports the needs and limitations of working people. His knowledge of music (both theory and practical) is vast and extensive. It includes varnams and krithis by various composers and some rare compositions. He takes the extra efforts to clarify notations, lyrics and their meanings by referring back to relevant books. His teaching methodology is unique and customized to suit the learning pace of the respective students. The notations and recorded lessons that are shared after the class provide extra support to the students to learn them in detail. He is punctual and communicative. Last but not the least, Sir has a mesmerizing voice. "

"I consider myself fortunate to connect with Sri Venkat thro Urbanpro and learn Karnatic music from him. Thanks to him I have transformed from a very sluggish starter to one who can do few Varnams with a sense of confidence in less than a year. I think learners have several conscious and unconscious mental blocks and Venkat has the knack of seeing thro these and is very committed to remove these. And the ease of singing comes in quickly when he is around. Thank you Sir .And wishing you a very long Teaching Career. "

"With an ample knowledge and right pedagogical skills, I find Shri. Venkat to be one of the best persons to learn music from. Anyone can become a good singer, but not everyone can be a good teacher. He has a very keen ear , lets you make mistakes and pick up by yourself, all while being a patient guide by the side. Not to miss, his very friendly demeanour. I highly recommend him. "
