I've been attending Arindam Sir's…
I've been attending Arindam Sir's classes for quite sometime now and I can see the difference in my voice, approach and performance overall. He's a very patient teacher and in order to teach he first understands the best learning approach and then executes the teaching process, I've been learning and enjoying the classes I'm able to attend and I hope this helps me dive deeper into the concepts and understanding in the coming future! :))

Hindustani Raag Training Lessons with Arindam Sir
I am an aspiring singer. I always wanted to improve my singing and get vocal training from an accomplished singer. That's when I found Ipassio and enrolled for Hindustani Music course taught by Arindam Sir. Arindam Sir is a down to earth and an encouraging person. Sir showed me a different insight about Music and helped me understand Raags in a better and easy way. By attending 6 classes I can see the improvements in my understanding of music and vocals. I feel blessed to get Hindustani Raag training under Arindam Sir. Looking forward to more learning.
