Highly effective Teaching

This is Deepak from Utah, USA. My two kids started learning from Shruthilaya madam in last July and still learning. My kids when started were not much interested now they don't speak about skipping classes. I see pretty good improvement in my kids singing. Truly appreciate her effective teaching.

Good teacher

I learn music from her for the last two months. She is very methodical and systematic. She has enough patience to teach all nuances in music. I am quite comfortable in learning from her. She makes sure you learn the fundamentals strongly to build a foundation for the future.

Resourceful and has in-depth music knowledge

This is Meera Shyamsunder,from Buffalo, NewYork. I have been learning from Mrs.Shruthilaya Ramanan for quite sometime. She has all the traits of a very good teacher. Easily approachable. Those who learn from her will get super clarity in music,both theoretically and practically. Whatever her profile says truly speaks in her action. Wishing her great success in all her endeavors!!!

Best Teacher

As soon as I posted my requirement I received the first response from her. She communicated in a friendly and encouraging way. We liked the way of her approach and joined her Carnatic Vocal class. She is an expert in her field. Classes are conducted in the time suits to both of us. She is very punctual and start the class exactly in the specified time. She is also a perfectionist and she loves to correct her students to grasp the correct note. She also welcomes our doubts and proceeds to next lesson only if we grasp the previous lessons. She used send recordings of lesson for our regular practice which are very useful. My wife and I are learning Carnatic vocal now. We are very happy to have her as our Carnatic Music guru.

Found a fabulous teacher through this website

Mam teaches somewhat slowly so that students can get enough knowledge in the perspective class.Mam has immense knowledge and she makes sure that her students should know depth in the subject.
