Vijaya Kumar Yeruva

I teach Guitar and Keyboard, focusing on both practical training and the foundational aspects of music theory. My goal is to help students not only learn how to play an instrument but also understand the essence of music—how it flows, how it feels, and how it connects us. I have been playing the guitar for 18 years and the keyboard for 6 years, and I’ve been sharing my passion through teaching for the past 3 years.

My journey in music has been self-driven. I’ve never taken formal training or certification, but I’ve spent countless hours exploring different genres, techniques, and approaches through personal study and practice. This deep, personal engagement with music has shaped my unique teaching style—one that’s based on understanding, experimentation, and rhythm rather than rigid methods. However, I am planning to pursue a formal certification soon to complement my experience and further support my students’ progress.

In my classes, I work with students of all levels—whether you're a complete beginner or someone with prior experience looking to refine your skills. I make sure every student gets the attention they need, starting with the basics like finger placement, chords, and scales, then moving to more advanced topics such as strumming patterns, lead techniques, or keyboard fingering and melody playing. I also help students grasp music theory concepts that are crucial for long-term growth.

Though I haven’t participated in formal competitions or earned awards, I was deeply involved in college-level music events, where I led bands and organized stage performances. These experiences taught me the importance of musical teamwork, audience connection, and the joy of live music—skills and values I pass on to my students.

I conduct offline, in-person classes as I believe music is best taught in a hands-on environment where the student and teacher can work closely on posture, sound quality, and technique. My sessions are interactive and tailored to each student’s pace and style of learning. I provide both structured lessons and room for creativity, encouraging students to improvise and explore their musical instincts.

At the moment, I do not offer certification courses or exam preparation, but I’m actively planning to expand my offerings in the near future. My priority right now is to ensure students enjoy the process of learning and grow in confidence. Whether you’re learning for fun, passion, or future performance, I’ll help you discover your musical potential in a supportive and engaging way.
