Teaching Experience in detail in Vocal Music classes
Teaching started with the idea of learning new things along the journey. And it's been 15 years now. Analysing the strengths and weakness of each learner and training them accordingly is something I love doing. I remember my teachers saying, a good teacher is the one who holds the hands of the weakest and pulls them up. Contrary to the belief that music is only in genes, I have witnessed students coming from absolute lack of music in family doing good, despite initial struggles. Though not all become great singers, they start appreciating good music. And what can be more beautiful than carnatic music. Indian classical music is an invaluable gift to mankind. Its highly satisfying to witness students identify ragas, share their experiences of a kutcheri, enjoy carnatic music as much as western and get ranks in exams. Music has also worked as a medicine to a lot of elderly students, to over come depression, over come mid age crisis, when pressures.. School going kids have witnessed better concentration, over come dyslexia, have over all development. Along with learning music, I also try to my students a better samaritan. Every year we do a fund raising show. Till now we gave raised funds to help a child fight, save water, rejuvenate lakes etc. Along with teaching students in India, I also teach students from other countries with students from all coasts of US, NZ, Australia, Dubai and parts of Europe.

Subashini
"I was looking out for a good carnatic music teacher for my son after I shifted to Bangalore. One name I heard many of them mention was Ashwini Narasimhan. Both me and my son enjoy learning music under Ashwini. She is a competent and a very professional teacher. She has a Keen eye on the strengths and weaknesses in every students singing and helps us overcome and improve it. She is also adept in the history of carnatic music and can correlate each raga to it's Hindustani counterpart. Along with an interest in music, my knowledge on carnatic music has also greatly improved under Ashwinis tutelage. She also trains students who appear for music exams. "
Madhumati
"I have been learning Carnatic Music from Ashwini for the past 8 months and it has been a great experience. She emphasises on the techniques - the basics, Sruthi and Swara positions. She also takes great pains to tell us about the theory and rules of carnatic music. She gives each and everyone attention on their singing and gives guidance in correcting the mistakes. In addition to the classical music, she teaches us some devotional songs, that is awesome. Most of all her voice is amazing. "
Ms Shobha Alfred
"Getting back to the joys of singing Carnatic music and relearning it with a teacher like Ashwini is a blessing. She is a teacher who is highly skilled in her art and immensely patient. She teaches the theory and explains it with practical performance so it helps to retain the understanding of the nuances even if the technical terminology is forgotten. She also blends lessons very well for us to retain the interest and motivation. I would also like to add that she is very humble and has gained my respect immediately as a person and teacher. "
Swamy
"Ashwini is very passionate about music. She teaches music with great patience and enthusiasm.She has a great ability to teach music at all grades and at all levels of competency. Her patience makes the learning experience rich. She has a good command over ancient Indian epics. She explains subject in a very detailed way. She got great composition skills. Every year she would put together a music ensemble with the students she was teaching and it will be a great pleasure to participate in that. Ashwini's dedication to teaching and her love for the music is the best combination for a music teacher. I would definitely recommend Ashwini for carnatic vocal lessons. "
Aswin S
"The immense knowledge on the subject is very evident and she gives individual attention for all participants. "

Aravind P
"I started 3 months back without any prior knowledge in learning Carnatic music. So far it was a great experience! Along with vocal lessons, that comprises of vocal training, learning songs etc., a good amount of theory and background is also taught, that makes the understanding even better and interesting. I will strongly recommend this class to everyone who aspires to learn Carnatic music. "
Ashiq Mohamed Jawahar
"She teaches the basics really well. Never rushes through the basics. The classes are not crowded. So each one gets individual attention, helps in quickly picking up the mistakes and correcting them as well. She also teaches theoretical concepts in between so that we understand better and relate to it practically. I am really happy to be taking Carnatic Music classes from her. "
-yadhu
"I should say that the class is very structured, which starts from the basics. She has great knowledge on the theory topics and her singing techniques are awesome. She makes sure each student understands the meaning of each Saahithya so that it reflect in the bhava while singing. The care given to develop the singing techniques need to be appreciated. "

For Carnatic Music, the state board exams Hav similar syllabus with few exceptions which depends from state to state. And these are valid across all’s tates. Preparation for the exam makes you a lot perfect and it gives you an insight to ur preparedness and knowledge irrespective of your score.

Hi savitha. Learning basics enables you to sing diverse songs, here I not only mean genre, Interms of complexity as well. Coming to your question, if your aim is to sing a film song like lakdi ki kaathi, or a devotional Song like a achyutam Keshavam u don’t need basics, but if you wanna sing mere dholna, or mahaganapathim, u definitely need basics and a good training.
