Manas

I am a dedicated music educator with over 15 years of experience in teaching and performing music. Over the years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and age groups, helping them build a strong musical foundation rooted in technique, theory, and performance. Teaching music is a deeply fulfilling journey for me, as it allows me to guide learners toward confidence and self-expression through sound.

My musical training includes formal education from IIT Jodhpur, where I refined my understanding of classical music and performance techniques. I have also actively participated in music events such as IGNUS, which contributed significantly to my stage exposure and practical learning. One of the most defining moments of my journey was securing the All India top position in Classical Flute Playing at IIT, an achievement that reflects my dedication to discipline and classical foundations.

I teach Flute, Harmonica, and Vocals, and I have had the opportunity to work with students across multiple states including Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Gujarat. This exposure has helped me understand varied learning styles and adapt my teaching approach accordingly. I strongly believe that music education should be personalized, as every learner progresses at a different pace and brings unique challenges to the learning process.

A key area of my expertise lies in resolving pitch-related issues. Many students struggle with pitch confidence in the early stages of learning, and I take special care to address this concern patiently and systematically. Over the years, I have helped thousands of students overcome their fear of pitch and develop accurate tonal control, enabling them to move forward with clarity and confidence.

My teaching methodology is structured, practical, and fundamentals-driven. I focus on building strong basics in pitch control, breathing techniques, finger positioning, and musical understanding before progressing to advanced concepts. Each lesson follows a gradual and logical progression, ensuring that students develop consistency and precision in their practice.

Classes are highly interactive and student-centric, with lesson plans customized according to the learner’s level, goals, and musical interests. I encourage regular practice, mindful listening, and active participation during sessions, as these are essential for long-term improvement. I conduct both online and offline classes, maintaining the same level of engagement and clarity across formats.

My goal as a teacher is to help students not only learn an instrument but also truly understand music as a language. Watching learners grow from hesitant beginners into confident performers is what motivates me to continuously refine my teaching methods and remain committed to quality music education.
