I have been teaching Carnatic Vocal Music for the past 8 years, and it has been a deeply fulfilling journey. With a Diploma in Music specializing in Carnatic Vocal, I’ve developed a strong foundation that I now pass on to my students with care and passion.

Over the years, I’ve worked with students of various age groups—children, teenagers, and adults—each with unique learning goals. Whether preparing for school competitions, performances, or learning for personal enjoyment, I’ve helped students build strong vocal skills and gain confidence in their musical journey.

I conduct online classes, which allow me to reach students across locations. My sessions are structured and practical, beginning with basic voice training exercises and gradually moving toward advanced lessons depending on the student’s progress.

Each session combines theoretical understanding with hands-on vocal practice. I focus on building rhythm, pitch accuracy, voice modulation, and a deep appreciation for the Carnatic music tradition. I also include bhajans and light music occasionally, especially for younger learners to keep them engaged.

While I don’t currently offer certification courses, I prepare my students for stage performances and competitions. I help them work on presentation skills, stage confidence, and song delivery, which are equally important aspects of becoming a good performer.

Teaching vocal music is not just about training the voice—it's about awakening a love for music. My aim is to make each student feel connected to what they sing, express emotion through their voice, and eventually develop their own musical identity.
