Teaching Philosophy

My parents told me that I started singing before I could even talk as a child. They said I was gifted with a talent. I have done quite a bit with my talent but the most fulfilling was being able to share the art with others through teaching. It is so much more than just an art, for me it is meditation, dopamine, emotion, therapy. And so many have experienced that with me.

It does not matter if you are not gifted or you think you don't have the voice. With the correct guidance and support, you can get there. During my lessons you will learn to tame your throat with various vocal exercises, train your ears to listen and recognize intricate notes and details, and master breath control. All these would be put into practice by learning new songs and in the process, you also find your style. To make things even better for you as a musician, I also like to cover music theory which aids in music composition and production.

For successful learning, I make special efforts to create a comfortable, judgement-free and happy environment for my young students as well as adults. That class is to learn, de-stress and have a great time!

Musical Education

Gandharva Mahavidyalaya- Indian Classical Music (3 grade certifications)
Bridge Music Academy- Trinity College of London for Music (Grade 8 certification in Pop & Rock Vocals)

Special Skills and Training

I began my musical journey at age 5, training in Indian Classical Music at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. Between ages 5–11, I studied vocals, synthesizer, guitar and tabla. Although I was learning Indian Classical, I would only enjoy singing Western music. At 17, I started formal Western music training at Bridge Music Academy, Chandigarh, studying Jazz, Pop, Rock, Blues and R&B. I passed Trinity College London's Grade 4 exam in 2016 with top marks and began teaching at the academy. In 2017, I earned a Grade 8 certification and served as Music Director for The Addams Family and later Robin Hood and His Merry Men school musicals, earning Trinity certifications in Plays in Production. From 2016 onward, I performed extensively- solo, in duos/trios, and with bands- across various genres and languages, primarily English. I found opportunities to work as a session artist, playback singer, and composer for jingles, anthems, and demo tracks, while also offering private lessons in-person and online for individuals and groups. In 2018, I resumed Indian Classical vocal training under Padma Shri Pt. Yash Paul to expand my vocal range and breath control. Since moving to Canada in late 2018, I’ve collaborated with artists as a composer and vocalist, performed at local venues, and released tracks with Punjabi artists. I’m currently working on original English music and training passionate students.

Policies


1. Cancellation Policy

Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.

2. Cessation (quitting) Policy

A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.

3. Illness Policy

Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.

BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.

No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.

4. Rescheduling Policy

Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.

Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy

Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.

It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.

5. Evaluation Period

There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
