Your Voice Is Already the Instrument.

Nothing to Buy, Nothing to Carry.

Vocal training is the oldest discipline in Indian classical music, and the only one where the instrument was given to you at birth.

That makes it both the most natural and the most exposing thing to study. There is no wood or brass between you and the listener — the sound comes from your body, shaped by your breath, your throat and your attention. Most students are nervous in the first session, and almost all of them stop being nervous by the third.

We do not begin by asking whether you can sing. We begin with breath, posture and one long sustained note on a single pitch. From there, sur — accuracy of pitch — is built slowly and physically, not by talent but by repetition and honest correction.

Because Indian classical singing is taught orally, you will never be handed sheet music. Your teacher sings a phrase, you sing it back, and the gap between the two closes over the weeks. It is a slower method than reading notes, but what you learn this way stays with you permanently.

Choose the Depth, Not Just the Dates.

Students arrive in Rishikesh with very different amounts of time. A traveller passing through for ten days needs something different from someone who has come specifically to study for a month. So the course comes in four honest sizes, and we will tell you plainly which one fits.

Not sure which to take? Start shorter. Many students begin with seven or ten sessions and extend while they are here — it is far easier to add sessions than to rush a course you have already paid for.
