After completing my Diploma from Swarnabhoomi Academy Of Music,i am now living in Delhi, teaching at quite a few places including IITJEE. My objective would be to establish myself as a genuine and committed teacher also setting up a decent income for myself



Music Specialty

i play the electric guitar,but i can also sing if required ( i can sing semi classical,bollywood stuff)

I have been singing bollywood songs almost all my life,and for me that is my comfort zone,even instrumentally

My opinion about teaching and performing:-As teachers, performing is, in my opinion, a necessary part of the job. An exam is a performance, and we need to be able to guide and advise our students on how to present themselves in a “performance situation” (exam, festival, competition, audition), and to prepare them physically and emotionally for the experience. A whole new and different range of skills are required as a performer, and it is important to stress to students the difference between practising and performing. We also need to be able to offer support for issues such as nerves and performance anxiety, and to offer coping strategies to counteract the negative thoughts and feelings that can arise from anxiety. How can you train others to perform if you have never done it yourself?

A successful performance demonstrates that you have practised correctly, deeply and thoughtfully, instead of simply note-bashing. Preparing music for performance teaches us how to complete a real task and to understand what is meant by “music making”. It encourages us to “play through”, glossing over errors rather than being thrown off course by them, and eradicates “stop-start” playing which prevents proper flow. You never really demonstrate your technique properly until you can demonstrate it in a performance. Performing also teaches us how to communicate a sense of the music, to “tell the story”, and to understand what the composer is trying to say. It adds to our credibility and artistic integrity as musicians. And if you haven’t performed a piece, how can you say it is truly “finished”?

Accomplishments:-Have performed at quite a few venues in Delhi during my college life, got scholarship at swarnabhoomi academy of music, recorded for and featured in a Swift Dzire ad in 2015
