Music has a primary place in the Indian culture and is often called ‘food for the soul’. India’s cultural and religious diversity is in essence symbolized and captured through music..
It is my endeavour that the rich heritage of Traditional Indian Classical music is passed down to the students thereby enabling them to develop a special spiritual bond with music. Apart from Traditional Classical music, many other forms such as Semi-Classical, Light music, Folk music, and Bhajans are taught.
It is also my firm belief that the most important aspect of singing is knowing how to sing with expression. The purpose of music is to express emotion, feeling and thought. Nothing can be more rewarding than to be able to move people by expressing the words and music of a song in a way that would evoke an emotional response in them.
My focus hence, has always been ‘music with expression’….
Music has no boundaries and has no bounds. And hence geographical distance should not be a barrier for learning music.
I therefore, offer vocal music lessons through various online platforms such as Skype, Zoom, and Google Duo.
The rhythm, melody, and harmony are carefully taken into consideration while teaching beginners and regular students. The class timings are flexible and can be decided as per the needs of the students.
Personal, one-to-one classes are also available. These classes are customized based on the student’s interests, inclinations and development requirements. Various genres of music as per preference are taught during these sessions..
Individual attention is provided to all the students and their progress closely monitored. Indian Classical music, Semi-Classical, Light music, Folk music, and Bhajans and other genres are some of the forms taught during the sessions, with emphasis on basic fundamentals of music and also performing with expression.
During my keyboard classes, my endeavour is to enable the student to connect with music at a deeper level, by becoming aware of the chords and the process of music creation.
Students can learn and master various contemporary chords, fill-ins, and musical notations in a short period. They also learn to play different styles of music. Students would be introduced to a wide range of technique exercises aimed at developing a strong command over the instrument and also explore and pick up various interesting instrumental sounds. They also develop vocal and instrumental coordination with rigorous practice.
Learn to play Harmonium and vocalize Indian Classical Music simultaneously. Flexible timings and planned sessions make my harmonium lessons ideal for those who are seeking music as a hobby or even as a career.
Beginners are first taught to set up and position the instrument. Thereafter, they are also introduced to the foundations of Harmonium music, tonic positions, basic finger movement techniques, and much more.
I also provide music consultations to those seeking guidance and help with regard to various genres and aspects of creating music, in addition to providing complete information as to how it is produced, thereby adding a professional touch to your music.
Music Consultation services include providing constructive and creative feedback on your music; harmonic and melodic ideas for creating soulful melodies and music; help with lyrics, rhythm, and chord progression, and much more. Most importantly suggesting techniques for an impressive professional public performance is also a part of these consultations. There are no limits or restrictions in terms of style, genre, and instrumentation.
Theme-based musical arrangements and programmes for weddings, professional events, or traditional events are also provided, keeping in mind the client’s requirement with a view to enthral the young and old alike.
Stage performances have been a significant part throughout my musical career. While regularly performing musical shows and professional events, my focus has always been that the gathered audience should be able to enjoy the music per se, whether it is sugam sangeet, thumris, ghazals, covers or folk music.
Music has the ability to evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners. While listening to music alters the mood and relieves stress, lyrics resonate with the listener’s personal experiences and can give a voice to the feelings which one might not have be able to express.
A performer has to experience certain emotions in order to evoke an emotional response in the audience and it gives me immense pleasure that my performances have always been musically expressive and very often nostalgic, generating great appreciation from the audience…
