Chitra D.

I teach Vocal Music and have 10 years of experience in teaching students of different age groups and skill levels. My primary focus is on helping students develop a strong foundation in Indian classical vocal music while also building their confidence, vocal technique, and ability to sing with better control and expression.

I have completed my Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Sangeet Visharad from Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal in 2018. My formal training in Indian classical vocal music has given me a strong understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of music. I bring this knowledge into my classes to help students develop their musical abilities systematically.

Over the past 10 years, I have had the opportunity to teach students with different levels of experience. Some students may be starting their musical journey, while others may already have a foundation and want to improve their skills further. I adapt my teaching according to the student's current level, learning pace, interests, and individual goals.

My classes cover Vocal Music as well as Harmonium, with training in Indian Classical Music, Bhajans, and Hindi and Marathi songs. I focus on developing essential musical skills such as sur, taal, voice culture, and singing techniques. I believe that these fundamentals are important for students who want to develop confidence and consistency in their singing.

I follow a structured and practical approach to teaching. I combine explanation with regular singing practice so that students can apply what they learn during the class. I encourage students to practise consistently and gradually improve their vocal control, understanding of rhythm, pronunciation, and overall musical expression.

I conduct both online and offline classes and tailor my sessions according to each student's learning requirements. I believe students should be given enough time to understand and practise a concept before moving forward. I therefore maintain a patient and supportive learning environment where students can ask questions, practise freely, and work on areas that require improvement.

My goal is to help students develop a genuine interest in music while building strong technical foundations. Whether a student wants to learn Indian Classical Music, Bhajans, Hindi or Marathi songs, or develop their Harmonium and vocal skills, I aim to provide consistent guidance and practical training. Through regular practice, personalised attention, and structured lessons, I want my students to become more confident and expressive singers.
