Personal coach (or a Guru) has a very important role in shaping the students abilities when it comes to Hindustani Classical Music. With a plethora of coaching resources in apps or videos the personal coach stands out in correcting and enhancing individualized mistakes and tonal quality of the Student .
Dr Srijan, is highly knowledgable, very humble and passionate teacher. He focuses on making the experience enjoyable and yet provides insightful improvements to your singing in addition to the typical theory lessons that are part of the process. While, my association with him is short, I am already feeling blessed to have found him.
I have been learning classical music from Srijan for a month now. Dr. Deshpande is not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Hindustani classical music, but is equally passionate about sharing his knowledge with others.
Most importantly, he is extremely patient and encouraging and he cares deeply about his students. He has the ability to inspire a keen sense to learn and nurture this otherwise complex subject - a hallmark of any excellent teacher. I highly recommend his music classes if you have a desire to learn to sing and appreciate Hindustani vocal music.
