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.

As an adult student I'm glad I found a teacher as patient, friendly & knowledgeable as Dhara.

Oct 2024: Update on my ongoing music learning experience at ICMSC. Has been three years now and it continues to be an amazing, enriching, & enjoyable experience. Dhara ma’m is very motivating and goes the extra mile to make our learning process fun and effortless. ICMSC has now added Live Tabla for some sessions which adds immensely to our understanding.

My son’s loving piano again! We were struggling to find a good piano class where my son actually enjoyed learning. But here, he connected with the teacher right away, and now he’s practicing without being asked! It’s been such a positive change.

Incredible teaching and such a supportive vibe! I recently joined Artium Academy for Bollywood singing classes, and I’m honestly blown away. The sessions are fun, structured, and the teacher makes sure you're really learning, not just singing along. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn seriously but still enjoy the process.

• - 5/5

Didn't even feel like an online class! I was a bit skeptical at first — I wasn’t sure how effective online singing lessons would be. But Artium completely changed my mind. The sessions are so interactive, and the teacher gives real-time feedback just like you'd get in person. Honestly, it feels like I’m in a studio with them.

Like having a music teacher in your living room! Artium’s setup is just so good. My 10-year-old son takes beginner singing lessons, and it truly feels like his teacher is right there with him. The sound quality, the interaction, everything is smooth — it doesn’t feel remote at all. We’re super impressed.

My child is learning Piano at Artium and I've had an incredible experience! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about teaching. Before joining Artium, I wasn't sure how anyone could learn Piano online but I am happy to see how easy it is. The flexible online classes fit perfectly into my schedule, and the personalized approach has helped my daughter progress faster than I expected. I highly recommend Artium Academy to anyone looking to learn piano in a supportive and engaging environment!

I have joined Artium when it was still in the early stages. They have definitely evolved over time, with a more efficient dashboard and online platform to track lessons, learnings other session related details. They are very supportive with the learning process, and overtime I have been exposed to sources which have helped me grow as a singer.

My experience with Pt. Vibhakar Pandey has been exceptional. I had little knowledge of Hindustani classical music and have a non-Indian background and yet Guruji took good care to teach me from the beginning. He is a great guru for students who are passionate and dedicated. He does not give or allow shortcuts and makes sure that you will have a firm foundation in musical knowledge and vocal skill. He tailors his classes to each student based on their needs and goals, and while strict he is also encouraging and kind. I highly recommend Guruji for any serious student.

Pt. Vibhakar Pandey ji, is an excellent Guru. The classes are taken on one to one basis. Every student is different and his expectations from this class are different. May it be learning Hindustani Classical Music only, or being able to perform on stage, or become a playback singer. Any student who shows willingness and dedication to put efforts, they definitely get what they want. Only rule is to work hard. 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. Yet he is very kind and polite. If you want to learn music seriously then, I definitely recommend to not lose this opportunity.

Our family is fortunate to have my two sons (age 13 and 8) and I enrolled to ICMSC and learning from our teacher - Dhara Bakshi. With super organized notes, class discipline, a small teacher to student ratio, we feel very motivated and encouraged to learn and follow the highly focused curriculum. The recordings and detailed class material are super handy and helpful for whenever and wherever we like to practice singing. Feel lucky and blessed to be a part of this fast growing music school! Best wishes!

I started learning music late in my career but lucky me I found my Guruji Pandit Vibhakar Pandey. He has an experience of 25 years in music. All of his Raga are so detailed. He is also flexible with his schedule and motivates you all the time throughout your music journey. I don't think I would have got a better teacher than him.????
