Kala is a perfect mixture of strictness and compassion. I see tremendous improvement in my daughter's singing and her overall confidence has increased by leaps and bounds. A mother cannot ask for anything more..!!
I never even imagined that I could sing. But Carnatikala made me sing Keerthanam in 6 months. Carnatikala makes tailor-made classes for each student based on their capabilities. At the time of enrollment, my idea was to try and see whether I can sing. Kala's non-stop encouragement has made me get hooked onto singing. I wish I had met you much earlier in my life. Thank you, Carnatikala
Personal attention by the teacher is the biggest USP at Carnatikala. Your patience with the students goes a long way in boosting up their morale. There is a lot of difference in their singing and my daughters can clarify their doubts without any inhibitions.
My association with Kala started when we together did an East-West Fusion Program at Bangkok. As a professional Opera and Western classical singer, I was amused by the Ghamakas in Carnatic music and enrolled in her classes. She tutored me so well by adapting the lessons to perfectly complement my genre of singing. She is a great giver, who is willing to go any length to impart her knowledge to her students.
We belong to a noted Carnatic music lineage - with several professional vocalists in our families. We found the perfect guru in Kala to groom my son - Shyam. Till the time Shyam delivers it perfectly, she will not let go of him. We are grateful to this Guru.
Keya has made some very fast progress in a short time under the guidance of Kala. Keya's singing has improved her concentration in her studies too. Keya is a restless but a very intelligent kid. And I am very convinced that no one else can be a better teacher than Kala. Thank you so much.
Ma'am, you push until I get it right. You are strict when you need to be but also very open and friendly. I used to struggle while singing in front of others because I tend to get nervous. But learning from you made me realize that I shouldn't be scared of doing something I love and showcase it to the people around me.
We shifted Siri to Kala's vocal classes after hearing one of our neighbor's daughter, who was also learning at Carnatikala. Within two months of joining, we could see a tremendous increase in the confidence level of Siri. The primary reason for this improvement is the friendly engagement of the guru sishya during the teaching sessions.
I am a 62-year-old who is rediscovering my passion for singing. Kala is not only a dedicated teacher; but also a very intelligent teacher. The song selection and delivery quality are perfectly chosen which is right for my voice texture and vocal range. In recent days I have started singing those difficult songs which used to be a dream earlier.
Before joining Carnatikala, Sudheer used to be a shy singer. Within a few months of coaching, he gained in his confidence and now sings with no hesitation. I have put my daughter Sandhya also under Carnatikala's coaching. In my opinion, the key to this success is because of Carnatikala's focus on making the student understand the fundamentals. The confidence level of students shores up once they get a grip on the fundamentals.
Its a delightful and proud moment for us when we watch Nishanth sing at the concerts at the temple in the IIT Madras. This has been because of the rigorous training he receives at Carnatikala.
I am a working mother and had a huge challenge to continue with my singing passion; but only till I joined Kala's classes. She gauges my ability and plans the songs accordingly, bringing out the best in me. Her coaching has boosted my confidence that I have got back my singing mojo. My humble advice - Don't ever give up on your love for music. Pursue it.
Kala's teaching methods are designed to suit my daughter's level of singing and voice range. This approach has significantly improved my daughter's confidence. These days it is a delight to see her sing enthusiastically in our family get-togethers.
