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.

"I am one of a proud student of Ashwini Ma'am. She is such a talented musician with a god's gifted vocal chord. I am too early to write a review here, after attending ~1 month of classes from her. But I personally feel she is one of the top teachers around here in Southside. She has a strong knowledge of Carnatic music with melodious voice. Mam's polite and friendly way of handling students will definitely make you feel very comfortable as you are learning from an own sister. I personally feel so. Thanks a lot ma'am for being my first GURU of my life - I am so happy here and enjoying the classes."

"I am learning vocal music from her for an year now. It's always nice to be in her class. Very energetic and enthusiastic teacher. It's all about perfection. Until we perfectly learn a thing,she doesn't move further. She gives individual attention and can easily find out who's wrong even when a big group sings. She gives a detailed description about everything that we learn. I have never learnt a kriti with meaning in my previous classes. It helps us to learn in a proper way with bhavam and proper pronunciation. Thanks for being a patient guru! Keep up the good work mam. "

"Ashwini has commendable expertise in the field and at the same time she has the patience required for beginners like me. She has been accomodative to our goals from the music classes. Ashwini explains the value/significance of different aspects of our lessons. We look forward to learning more from her in the coming years. "

"Ashwini maam is young and enthusiastic teacher. Her mode of teaching is more focussed on giving individual attention to all her students regardless of age. Believes in perfection and aims to spread the art of music most diligently and values the time and efforts put in every class by every student. She is very outgoing and friendly with her students and we have a great time during our classes and do not experience monotony or boredom ever. Overall she is knowledgeable and educative on delivering the art and follows her passion. "
Sethu
"Ashwini is a cool open-minded teacher with a striking voice, whose approach towards teaching naturally makes you interested in the class. Her attention to detail, patience until you get the swara right or shruti, and in-depth knowledge about the literature surrounding music are all commendable. Her classes are not just about music, but also about life and other lively conversations. Timings are flexible, I absolutely love the class. It's just great. "

"My daughter started learning Carnatic music from Ashwini from last month. She is more than a teacher in the first sentence. Her understanding of her students can never be better than anyone else. She is very patient and highly talented musician who explains each and every notes in detail and makes us feel comfortable with her ever motivating words. Blessed to have found Ashwini as my daughter's Guru. When we started our class with her we quite afraid as she was a new teacher because she is my daughter's 3rd Guru. We were not comfortable with the timings of the old teachers. So we were in need of a new teacher for my daughter, luckily we found such a nice Guru through Urbanpro. We felt lots of improvements and changes with my daughter's musical knowledge. Ashwini don't move to the next lessons until my daughter is comfortable and perfect. She is a kind teacher and very friendly. I recommend this class to everybody. Now my daughter says I want to continue my learning from Ashwini forever. She is a perfect teacher who wants to learn from the strong basics in music. A big thanks to Urbanpro and Ashwini. "

"Ashwini Ma'am is a very good teacher, not to mention amazing singer. I have been learning music, online, from her for 3 months now. Have learnt a lot. She is very attentive and will make us sing until we get it right. I highly recommend joining her classes. "
Uma Srinivasan
"Very good teacher. Attention to detail and perfection. Encouraging and motivating learning atmosphere. Very competitive. "
Venu
"Anshwini is an excellent carnatic teacher. My kids went to in-person teachers for last 4 years before we switched to Anshwini for online skype classes and we see that they are doing very well. Ashwini keeps the kids motivated but still challenges them to achieve their best. She is very particular in making sure you get your sruthi correct, know the meaning of the songs, and have correct pronunciation among other things. She can also cover advanced topics and she is an extremely capable musician with a very melodious voice. My kids always come away from the class constantly humming until they get their basics correct. Also, Ashwini is prompt in her schedule and provides recordings of the songs being taught regularly (i have difficulty managing it). All in all we are extremely satisfied and I am happy to provide a reference for her. "
Srividya
"Came to know about Ashwini through Urban Pro when I inquired to join music class. I am learning for the past 3 weeks now and enjoying every class. Even though there are at least 4-5 students in my slot she has given individual attention and corrects the mistakes until we understand and sing perfectly. She is very dedicated and explains the nuances as she takes the lessons which is really helpful to understand and sing properly. I am happy that i found a right guru "

"The classes are very interesting. Mam is really very experienced and she keeps on guiding till we sing perfectly what ever we were taught. The classes are very lively. "
Sankaranarayanan Devarajan
"After a long gap of ten years, I wanted to learn music again. Found Mrs.Aswini's 'Hamsanaada' on Urbanpro. She is a brilliant singer and a patient teacher. One class was enough for me to come out of my apprehensions. She ensures that we learn our basics perfectly. Apart from the typical path of Varisais, Swara Jatis, Kritis etc., she also helps us appreciate and understand the lyrical meaning of songs, explain the nuances between different raagas etc. Overall, I'm really happy for choosing Hamsanaada. "
Ashwini
"Ashwini is my third music teacher n I take online classes from her. She is a remarkable teacher with in depth knowledge in music. Her passion for music and detailed research about each kriti she teaches motivates us students not only to understand the devotion with which the song was written but also to connect with divine through our singing. Until I found her music was just recital, but every time I sing now I feel a connect with divine. So many aspects which had went unnoticed during my early years of learning hav been made attended in her class. For those who want strong basics in music she is the right teacher, never hav I found someone who tells u why and how to do a varase in as much detail as she does. And once u learn from her it hard to forget what you hav learnt. So wonderful a teacher she is. And lastly thanks mam for being my guru. "

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.

Having a classical base not just increases your knowledge and abilities to understand but helps you to do different genres. Light music is a very big term which has a lot of genres. Before you learn light music you are first made to learn basics of classical music, where voice culture is taught as well, not just gives a great voice and stability but helps you in modulation many imps for light music.
