As a performing professional Musician who is continually learning, I would like to pass-on what I have gained throughout numerous years of Musical experiences.

I am a multi-faceted professional musician and can be found performing all over New York City and other parts of the country. For the last ten years I have had experience teaching young beginners, high school students, college music majors and secondary non-majors, as well as adult amateurs. Professionally, I am a classical music singer, and I also perform on modern and historical oboes, as well as recorders. The piano was my very first instrument, which I studied for ten years performing and competing before I decided to focus on singing and playing the oboe. Read More

I received The Brinda Repertory Centenary award in 2015 for my work in Carnatic music.

I found herself thriving in this nexus of different musical styles, ranging from classical South Indian to out-and-out rock. In recent summers I've worked and performed with different bands here in the city. Read More

Following this, we'll engage in some singing with scale degrees (numbers) i.e. 1, 1-2-1, 1-2-3-2-1 etc. It's another fun way to work on aural skills. I'll then proceed to take them through some basic foundation building technical scales and repertoire. For Intermediate students, the breathing and technical work is more advanced, I include aural studies like intervals signing and recognition and perhaps modes of major scale then we'll sing through their chosen repertoire.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

The way how Mozart and Beethoven practiced piano was not that different from how we practice. That’s the special part of learning an instrument or singing, especially singing is physical, because we cannot see or touch our voice as instrument. I always encourage my students to develop their passion. The motivation will help them to go through struggles during practice. communication is the key of everything, so I value our communication as part of our success. Read More

I covered a little of this in previous paragraphs but I utilize the students ability to learn without the instrument in hand and utilize themselves as the instrument. One example of this is I tea h them to mark time with their feet and subdivide the best into qurters,eighths, etc... and then test them thru aural rhythmic dictation. Also with little children I work into the lesson movement thru pitch high and low and show SOUND thru spatial relationships. Read More

When I first start working with students, I strictly work on warmups for a few lessons. The first lesson is usually when students get their jitters out about singing in front of someone and learn that I'm really not a scary person.

Once there is comfort between myself and the student, I will start teaching them technique to create more comfort and ease in their production of tone. Read More
