"When I started my first class with Krishna balesh sir,I had no clue whether I will be able to learn good music. But day by day as learning is in progress, I am realizing that he is not just a teacher, but a store house of knowledge. He seems to have answer for all queries. More than anything, though he is such a great musician at such a young age, he is very humble and patient with students .He knows how to deal with all age groups. I feel very lucky and proud to be his student. People in Chennai are certainly lucky to have a teacher of this caliber in Hindustani Music . "

"I have been learning music from Tansen Academy since 2013 and it has been a wonderful experience. Even though I had taken training in Hindustani classical since childhood, had to distance away from it for more than 8 years to buildup my academic and professional career. But, I have been really lucky to come across Tansen Academy of Music & Krishna Ballesh Sir. It has been an enriching experience to learn Hindustani classical under the guidance of Krishna Ballesh Sir. The way he explains the nuances of classical music and motivates his students, really helps one become more dedicated towards classical music. I am fortunate enough to get an opportunity to learn from Bade Guruji - Pt. S Ballesh. His way of singing and Krishna Sir's constant guidance has helped me understand, how important it is to make classical music sound melodious by singing in softer tone. Only after I have started learning from Krishna Sir, I had started enjoying the real essence of classical music. I really wish, I had come across this institution and it's gurus much earlier and not wasted 8 years. I am thankful to Tansen Academy and the gurus, Bade Guruji - Pt. S Ballesh, Krishna Sir & Prakash Sir to bring me back to music again, which I had missed a lot for quite some time. "

"I am a part of TANSEN Academy of Hindustani Music for the past three years. Until before I joined this Institute, I had immense difficulty in singing with shruthi. Things transformed within me dramatically within two months of joining this Institute. The gurus of this academy are dedicated teachers and inspired me to learn the aspects of hindustani music. Their constant supervision and hours of valuable discussions of gurus have shaped up many students. The gurus see that every student thoroughly learn the fundamentals of hindustani raags. Importantly it is difficult to find good people like Mahaguru Balleshji, Krishnaji and Prakashji who are talented personalities in hindustani music. I am greatly indebted to this academy for the support and helping me out to learn music. I sincerely hope in coming years, I will acquire more knowledge in Hindustani music through this academy. "

A friend of mine referred to tansen academy and from day one,Krishna Ballesh sir encouraged me and made me understand the essence of hindustani music. He not only taught us music but also the importance and meanings of each word and singing each raag at the specific time of the day. I could see that my voice culture changed drastically. He taught me the imporatnce of raag, taal , aakars , alankars and tested us and corrected us every week. He took us to various concerts of famous hindustani classical singers and also our shehnai pandit S.Ballesh. It made us understand how to sing on stage and how to perform.
