Vocal Grooming for Bollywood Singing | Beginners

Q: How much time should a student enrolling for this course practice everyday?

This course will require practice time outside of lessons. Time spent practicing may vary from 15 to 30 minutes per day, depending on a student’s level of interest. Students who wish to become professional musicians will need more hours of practice per day using a different set of exercises and materials than students who are seeking to learn music as a hobby. A detailed structure of practice for each student will be discussed and explained during the classes.

Q: What if a student is unable to attend an upcoming class?

The student is required to inform the teacher about his absence from a particular session, two days prior to the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on teacher’s discretion.

Q: What if the teacher wishes to reschedule a class?

In case the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days prior to the class. The teacher will conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student.

Q: How long will the teacher take to revert to a query raised after class hours?

Students should get a response within 24 hours if the teacher is not preoccupied or travelling.

About the Course

This Vocal Grooming for Bollywood Singing course for beginners does not require its students to have any previous knowledge - simply an interest in music and an enthusiasm for learning. It will cover all the basics of voice techniques needed to sing traditional Bollywood songs, providing students with an excellent base upon which they can build as they go forward on their musical journey.

She would help students develop the voice tone, provide exercises for developing a good range of voice, teach techniques for voice modulation, help develop other voice skills that are used in popular music, apply these skills in Bollywood songs, Geet, Ghazal and other forms of popular music, teach the notation underlying each song, develop an idea of the beats involved in the songs and how to emote and express through popular songs.

In this course, she aims to inspire beginners with the same passion she has herself and pass on some of the expertise she's gained over her successful career. Students can expect to be competent in performing a range of Bollywood songs by the end of the course and will be able to feel confident in their new vocal skills. They'll be well equipped to tackle simple songs and be in a good position to move onto intermediate training and classes if they wish to grow their musical skills further.
