Classical Indian Voice Lessons

This classical Indian vocals course will begin with a one-on-one session between the student and the teacher to establish the desired outcome of this course. During this session, students may choose to pursue an intermediate level of training in Sufi, Bhakti, Hori, Kajri, and Chaiti. After course setup, instructor Rashmi Agarwal will personalize the course to ensure each student learns the voice culture, singing techniques, history of the style, and a song to perform with their new skill.
