Shiva

I teach keyboard and vocal music and bring around 20 years of professional industry experience as a keyboardist, including extensive experience in the film industry. Along with my professional career in music, I have been teaching music for the past 5 years. My lessons combine practical musical experience with structured and personalised teaching.

I have completed a Master of Arts (M.A.) and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.). I am also certified in music through Trinity College London. These academic and professional qualifications, along with my years of experience, have helped me develop both musical expertise and an understanding of effective teaching.

I come from a strong musical family background. My father and other members of my family are accomplished musicians, and I was introduced to music from a very young age. Music has therefore been an important part of my life for many years, and I have continued learning, practising, and performing throughout my journey.

My professional experience as a keyboardist in the film industry has given me valuable practical exposure to music. I have developed expertise in piano, keyboard, and vocal training, and I bring this real-world experience into my classes to help students understand music beyond just theory.

I personalise my lessons according to the student’s age, skill level, learning pace, and individual goals. I believe that students progress better when lessons are designed around their specific requirements rather than following exactly the same approach for everyone.

I conduct both online and offline classes and primarily provide individual sessions. Depending on the learner’s needs, I adjust the duration, content, and teaching approach. My focus is on developing musical skills while also building confidence and encouraging students to practise consistently.

My goal is to help students enjoy the learning process while developing practical musical abilities. Whether a learner is beginning their musical journey or wants to improve existing keyboard or vocal skills, I aim to provide personalised guidance supported by my professional experience and long-standing connection with music.
