It was a match made in heaven for me finding a mandolin teacher, who is a direct student of Mandolin Shrinivas Anna. Your teaching is excellent. You have the keen observation on how I play and then suggest corrections. Your flexible approach has helped me immensely to stay on track with a busy schedule. What I enjoy most is that you embed personal life experiences into your teaching. You show the path to take and also give the freedom to learn by discovery. You have immense respect for us. My proud feeling is that my fingering and gamakams (microtones) have improved and I am able to enjoy what I play

My mom joined me in mandolin class and then when I started learning I slowly started liking mandolin. You simplified the way of learning mandolin. What I enjoy a lot is the variety in lesson content, specific and timely feedback, personal connection and a friendly learning environment. My proud moment is playing the song "Rajeevalochana" of Muthuswami Dikshitar and it really changed the way I enjoy the mandolin.
