Learn Carnatic Vocals- Beginner Level

Q: How much time should a student devote to practice everyday?

Students interested and passionate about learning Hindustani vocal lessons should devote at least 30 minutes to practice daily.

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

The student must inform the teacher about his absence from a particular session two days before the class.

If the student misses giving two days prior notice about his absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is wholly based on the teacher’s discretion.

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

If the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, they will inform the students two days before 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 it take for the teacher to respond if the student raises a question after class hours through mail or the platform?

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