Our young one has been learning under Dhara-ji for about 18 months now and we are absolutely thrilled with the learning experience. To elaborate: (1) There is core sincerity; a genuine interest in making students learn and appreciate classical music (2) The curriculum is structured but the teaching is not mechanical. Students are taught values of aesthetic presentation and discipline (3) Dhara-ji is super friendly, patient, and encouraging but the content is not dumbed down (4) The class size, format (group + solo singing), and use of technology works well (5) There is an effort by Ruchir-ji and Dhara-ji to cultivate a sense of community rather than just some commercially-oriented classes.

Guruji is very caring and concerned for his students and willing to share as much of his knowledge as student has the hunger for, no limitations. He is very hardworking and strict.
