Enrollment Rules

  • The first six months of classes, they will be learning the basics. My students get trained to be stage ready within a year to perform small bhajans and songs.
  • I don’t give make- up classes, if the student misses a class. If I miss a class, I will arrange an extra class which works for everyone. I will not reschedule or arrange classes in advance if anyone in the class is traveling or is not going to be present in a class due to any reason. However, I can go over what was missed as a revision exercise in the next class.
  • I don’t encourage recording in the class. I am very traditional in my style of teaching. I want the learner to focus and be completely active in the class. A recording always puts them at ease, as they think they can go back and refer to it, and not pay attention in class.
  • The parent/s should not sit in the class. The learner has to be alone to focus and sing without having the fear of being judged.
  • They must practice for 10 minutes daily or thrice a week. If they don't put in any effort, they will not see results.
  • They can reach out to me with emails and recordings for assistance and I will guide them with feedback and references.
  • After every class, I will give homework, which they must complete and submit (email) before their next class.
  • I will help them refine/polish their songs if they want to participate in any competition or events.
  • Duration of the class will depend on the age and learning level of the students.
  • I give one-on-one private lessons as well as small group lessons. Group classes will have 2 or 3 students only.
  • I am open to taking anyone who wants learn from the age of 5 and above.
