Teaching Philosophy

My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that music is a form of spiritual discipline (sadhana). I strive to impart not just the technique but the soul of Carnatic music, honoring the methods passed down by my gurus. For students worldwide, I leverage technology to create a focused, traditional learning environment, nurturing each individual's unique voice.
