Shilpa J.

I teach Vocal Music and have been pursuing my passion for the past 7 years, guiding students of all ages and levels to explore and master the art of singing. Music has always been an integral part of my life, and teaching allows me to pass on this deep-rooted love to others in a structured, meaningful way. Each session I conduct is designed not just to teach but to inspire, helping learners unlock the magic of their own voice.

I hold advanced qualifications in classical vocal music, having completed both Nipun and Visharad, which have enriched my understanding of the technical and spiritual aspects of Indian classical music. These rigorous certifications have enabled me to build a strong foundation in the traditional Gurukul style of learning, blended with modern methods that suit today’s students.

My specialization lies in Hindustani classical music, with additional expertise in light music and voice culture. I give equal importance to the theoretical aspects of music such as Raag, Taal, and Sur, as well as to the practical elements like voice modulation, breath control, and stage presence. I believe that learning music should be a joyful process—one where technical growth and emotional expression go hand in hand.

Over the years, I’ve worked with students ranging from complete beginners to those preparing for music examinations or performances. My approach is highly personalized—I take time to understand each student’s strengths, challenges, and learning style before creating lesson plans. Whether the goal is to sing confidently in front of an audience or clear a music exam, I ensure every student receives the attention and support they need.

Although I am comfortable conducting both online and offline classes, I prefer online teaching as it allows me to reach and connect with students from different locations. I create a warm, interactive virtual environment where students feel comfortable experimenting with their voice and growing at their own pace. For offline sessions, I maintain a disciplined yet friendly learning space where musical values and techniques are imparted through live practice.

I also prepare students for formal music exams, guiding them through each level with structured practice, theory lessons, and mock assessments. I consider this training not just about marks, but about developing consistency, dedication, and a deeper appreciation for the art.

For me, teaching vocal music is more than a profession—it’s a responsibility to carry forward the tradition and transform it into something new with every learner. If you're looking to begin your musical journey or elevate your existing skills with a patient and passionate mentor, I’d be glad to be a part of your path.
