"I have been taking one-on-one Hindustani classical music classes from Durga Ma'am, and it has been a wonderful learning experience. She is an exceptional teacher—patient, encouraging, and deeply passionate about music. What I appreciate most is that before we begin singing, she takes the time to explain the background of each raaga or composition in detail. She helps me understand how and why a raaga is structured in a particular way, making the learning process much more meaningful and enjoyable. I highly recommend Durga Ma'am to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated Hindustani classical music teacher "
