My experience is good. The way of teaching is great

So far our experience is good. Support team is great. Only downside for us is not having an ability to track the progress in the online portal and no proper course material.

It’s working out good for me when I needed Art Gharana to accommodate in the next class because of my mom and my health . Al My teacher is great, he has encouraged me always that I can do this and is very patient.

I'm proud to have been a part of Artgharana's musical journey. This platform has fulfilled my longing to learn music, and I thank it for that. I would like to specially acknowledge my guru, Sri Roshan Shetty, whose teaching ability and empathetic understanding of student are truly praiseworthy.

Art Gharana offers team of professional teachers and staff who are patient, friendly and flexible. Their platform is easy to manage and the support team is prompt to respond on any sort of queries, concern or changes. I would highly recommend Art Gharana to anyone who is just beginning their journey of learning any Indian classical or fusion art form or an experienced individual looking to polish/practice their skills.

It is great online learning experience. Team is very helpful ...

Art Gharana has been an amazing place with so many different classes to choose from. I love that I don’t have to look elsewhere for what I need, and the flexible schedule makes it super easy to fit classes into my busy routine.

As a feedback on Ashishji, I would like to rate As below : 1. Knowledge and depth of mastery in classical Sangeet - excellent and more than what I expected. 2. Teaching quality and ability to connect with student - very good. Being my first music learning experience , this was an excellent session and could not ask for more. 3. Punctuality and discipline - excellent , always on time

I am having an awesome experience as a student of Meetkalakar Gurukul. Guru Nishhad ji is awesome. I heartly thank you for this.

I would like to share my experience with you that it was my privilige to learn vocal music from meetkalakar by the mercy of my music teacher It was very difficult to find time from my busy schedule to learn music because of my working hours but due to online vocal music class i could understand the basics of classical music. Therefore i thank meetkalakar team and offer my obeisance unto my music teacher Gaanheera.

Hi Richa ji, hope you are doing fine... Just wanted to let you know that I am quite enjoying my Sitar classes and it's wonderful to have someone like Rafat ji as my teacher. Thank you. From Roshini Dubey

it's very humbling. Person half my age has much more knowledge and talent than me. ...jokes apart. I liked it. I realized I had to practice a lot. Will do. As I said my end goal is not to perform r anything. I want to enjoy music better.

Meetkalakar support staff has been extremely responsive and diligent for all my queries. Their services are efficient and timely. Pallaviji is an awesome teacher. Her teaching caters to the potential and skill level of the individual and she is extremely particular about the rendition of each sur ! She is also very flexible on logistics and timings as may be needed from time to time in a hectic lifestyle.

Thanx for making this possible with a great artist & teacher Hemaji.----

Yes he is very good, so cooperative. Respecting my ideas and doubts very patiently. Clarifying them in understandable manner. I am getting more confident than before

My sessions with Hemaji went well. She is an accomplished Artist, Music Master & Teacher, this is my first impression of her. I enjoy learning from her.

Bharat sir is a very good teacher I like Sir 's class very much. I think its a belated gift feedback

I am very happy with the training I am receiving from Amitaji. This is the kind of training I was hoping for. Overall everything has been working very efficiently and satisfactorily.

Meetkalakar connected me to a fabulous teacher, Kiran ji, from whom i was interested to learn from as he had translated and composed some Indian Classical Music in English for a wider audience. He was thorough in explaining the Ragas step by step from Alankars, wadi, samwadi, to Stahi, Antara, and teaching many old Krishna Bhajans. He could relate with my interest Yoga, and made me follow the breath with attention, thus the songs expressed the spirit coming from inner silence; the themes ranged from returned, unrequited forms of spiritual love in soaring tempos. His explanation of tge universality of Dadra, Rupak Taal helped me connect to Western Classical (Opera) & Jazz styles of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole. He made sure that the sessions were recorded, and guided me to procure books from: Sanskar Prakashan, Mumbai, which helped me become self-reliant. It has been an amazing journey for me, even after he retired, of self-improvement to keep exploring and refining myself listening to my own recordings in a self-guided manner. Thanks

It is a great pleasure to say that your organisation has changed the traditional way of learning n imparting such beautiful art. You have changed the geographical boundaries as well. Such courses are very helpful for those people who have feelings and passion to learn but due to x,y,z reasons they could not get the feeling of achievement and satisfaction to get into the flair of art. Now as a part of your vision and organisation I personally feel proud and would thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The sessions that I took were really good. Rakhi mam is so knowledgeable and teaches with patience. I'm looking forward to learn more and more from her.

Class going on very well thanks for finding such amazing guru for me!

My classes was amazing. I loved it.. Hema Ji is a wonderful teacher. I just wish the voice clarity of Skype call was more clear.. rest all was fantastic..

Deepa Madam is flexible... & Simple way of teaching... Meetkalakar is helping is to bridge the gap.

Namaskar Before I finish my 10 th class I would like to share my experience with Meetkalakar .The Institution is really one of the Best. I am associated with many institutions to refer Ragas , and other material to learn Hindustani Classical Vocal. The staff is really good. They know well what is the meaning of Customer Satisfaction i.e CRM. The teachers are thorough in Knowledge and the method of teaching the person like me who is now going to Cross 64 and enter 65 is increase interest in learning. You get Motivated to learn more and more and hence I decided to continue my classes further. Here I would like to thank to my Guru Mandar Gadgil and whatever I am learning because of him. He is not only cool but also method of teaching is really good.I could pick up early because of that. I am in Delhi and whatever best help to promote Meetkalakar and its associate members /teachers I will do it. I will try and see if I can fix the program for them in future. Its my pleasure to continue to learn further Hindustani Classical Vocal . Thanks & Regards, Ghanashyam Walimbe CEO Chintamani Consultants & LIC_LOGO

Meetkalakar is trust worthy online site. They have been very diligent in finding an online teacher for me. I am an adult learner in my forties and it has been difficult to find a teacher. However, Meetkalakar never gave up and kept sourcing teachers until they found “the” one. I have been learning online Kathak for almost a year now. My teacher Ruhi Masodkar is very passionate about Kathak and has taken up the task to teach and help me enjoy my learning. Meetkalakar regularly contacts me to check my progress and satisfaction. They are very transparent about the fees and there are no hidden charges. If we students maintain our integrity and diligence, we will be able to make Meetkalakar a popular website for genuine learners. This will also attract passionate gurus who are ready to share their knowledge. The members of Meetkalakar are knowledgeable. They make the students aware there are no learning short cuts to any Indian dance or music and there would be few shortcomings like video and audio quality over the internet. Indian dance and art form is normally thought from a very young age, so for adult beginners like me it is beginnig of a journey. I am happy neither Meetkalakar nor my teacher Ruhi Masodkar have given up on me and I am grateful for their support. I would recommend Meetkalakar to all students who are genuinenly interested in learning Indian dance and music. Meetkalakar are serious about their commitment and I hope they get famous worldwide

I was searching very hard for a teacher who could teach me Hindustani vocal & meet Kalakar just gave me that. Deepa Sathe madam is really teaching me very well & as i work in a thermal power plant it is very hard for me to make some time for my classes. but she has lot of patience, in spite of all my problems with network & timings,she is really helping me a lot, with my schedule to teach me the music I am very thankful to meet Kalakar for making my dreams come true. meet Kalakar as it says provides platform for music lovers & music teachers.

I am 50 years old and always had liking towards music . Due to some reason or other I could never pay any attention and there by ignored even the basic understanding of music . Off late I decided to learn Hindustani Vocal . However due to many un avoidable reasons could not know how to start about it . In the mean while I came across the web site of meetkalakar . When contacted , after few interaction with Meetkalakar I could get to know Mr. Harshad Dongre an excellent young and talented person who could teach me the basics of Hindustani Vocals . Now sitting at home I have started the basics of Hindustani vocal under the guidance of Harshad Sir and hopefully I could continue further for the rest of my life . It is possible always to pull out some time and try to full fill our left out aspiration at any point of life .

I am very happy and satisfied about guru ji and his lessons. He is very knowledgeable, creative and motivating. He identifies the weakness and gives assignments accordingly to improve on weakness. I never seen him in bad mood even when I do mistake or do not understand some of his lessons. He always uses different approach in case I am not getting it whatever he is trying to teach me. I think I really met Kalakar.

Singing lesson was fantastic. Yashaswi madam was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to next week. Thank you very much for everything , thanks

Teacher is good... Taking efforts, Sampada madam is comfortable person. I am happy to continue next classes with her.

I am getting lessons on classical vocal Sangeet through e-learning by meetkalarar artist Shri Prashant Kalundrekar. Earlier before joining, I did not have any idea about e- learning of classical sangeet. But after joining and completing 5 classes, I felt it is very very helpful, interesting and effective. May be because of the technique adopted by artist Shri Prashant Sir is unique and excellent. I am enjoining his teaching technique and growing interest in classical sangeet day by day. Though I started very very late in my life, still I am gradually feeling growing interest within me and trying to enter into the deep of this subject.

I am very happy and satisfied about guru Anutosh ji and his lessons. He is very knowledgeable, creative and motivating. He identifies the weakness and gives assignments accordingly to improve on weakness. I never seen him in bad mood even when I do mistake or do not understand some of his lessons. He always uses different approach in case I am not getting it whatever he is trying to teach me. I think I really met Kalakar.

Prasad sir khupch changle shikavtat ani explain hi mast kartat. I enjoy my class. Thanks to Meetkalakar ki tuhmi mala suitable ase time adjust karun dile & Prasad sira sarkhe sir available karun dile.

Her pace of teaching is also excellent, whereby, i get a chance to grasp and understand what she is teaching me. My sessions with Vaidehiji has been very fruitful for me, as i can definitely see an improvement in my voice since i started. I would definitely recommend Vaidehiji to anyone who wants to start learning music. All my best wishes to her. Must also add that she is gifted with a beautiful voice. Meetkalakar, u guys have been excellent in your communication with me. You are always prompt in getting back and replying, which shows your commitment and professionalism. Keep it up.

I truly consider myself fortunate to learn Hindustani classical vocals from Pallavi didi. I truly admire her legitimate love of music, her warm enthusiastic and patient personality that ensures I learn the most important fundamental elements of music in a systematic fashion and her inspiring teaching method fosters a love singing/music and sets the bar high. She embodies and inculcates discipline so that I truly can be self-sufficient and independent singer/musician. Didi genuinely makes each singing class fun, interesting and empowering. I truly look forward to my weekly singing sessions with my awesome teacher who over a period of 10 months has become a dear friend

Didi (Pallavi Mehta) is a joy to learn from. I have been her student since May and have taken exclusively online classes from her. Didi has a long history of teaching and understood clearly the level I entered at. She has a deep repertoire of sitar music and is flexible in her teaching style. In addition to being a knowledgeable and accommodating teacher, she is also a very positive person and I look forward to all of our lessons together.

One of the extraordinary Tabla player I met. Versatile, rooted and dextrous!

Hello Meet Kalakar, I would like to share my experience with you that it was my privilige to learn vocal music from Meetkalakar by the mercy of my music teacher. It was very difficult to find time from my busy schedule to learn music because of my working hours but due to online vocal music class i could understand the basics of classical music. Therefore i thank meetkalakar team

My name is Veena Nair, I joined Soor Academy in 1995, and then moved to Dubai, from where I pursued my learnings with Pallavi Mehta whose tireless effort of teaching even when I was far away in Dubai, it seemed not so far away. An institution in itself has not only brought the beautiful instrument sitar into my life, it also teaches me values of humility. Thank you Pallavi ji for your dedication with me from so faraway.

I was always fascinated by the beautiful instrument that Sitar is, I started taking classes in the eleventh standard but that was for a short while as the pressure of my class XII board exams took over. Subsequently I graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore in 2010 and started working at a law firm in Bombay. My fascination for the seven stringed beauty resurfaced and I found an excellent guru in Pallavi didi to guide me in learning the Sitar. My days at Soor Academy have been joyful and merry. However, I shifted to Chennai after a year but I am glad that I have continued to take classes from Pallavi Didi over Skype. I hope my association with Soor Academy lasts for a lifetime.

Hello, I am Anuradha Shyam Joshi. I am a housewife and 44 years old. I am truly fond of music and love to play the Sitar. Guruma, Pallavi Mehtaji is training me in Sitar since the last one and half years. I am very satisfied and happy with the kind of training imparted to me through her training process. I am very happy to have such a 'Guru'. Due to her encouragement, friendly and cooperative nature, I am able to travel from Chiplun (Ratnagiri, Konkan) to take monthly lessons at the Soor Academy without any hassles.

Pallaviben's dedication to her students is simply unmatched! She is not only flexible with her schedule, but is incredibly patient, resourceful and knowledgeable. Pallaviben's caliber, her drive and her commitment to the art of teaching music is apparent on the first day of class. I believe myself to be very fortunate to be her student.

I am a French Mathematician, passionate about Indian culture and specially Indian classical music. I took some lessons of Sitar in Mumbai, with Pallavi Mehta, but as I live in Paris, 7000 km from there, I also wanted to practice when I was back home. It is a real pleasure to be one of her online students, because Pallavi is a great teacher. She always gives the best of herself, and online lessons are exactly as the ones I took in Mumbai. With Skype and a webcam, it's easy to follow her explanations, to listen to her when she plays, to see the right position for hands or fingers, and to play with her. Each lesson is one hour long. Pallavi follows my work and checks the details as well as the global way I play. I like this because I think it is the best way to make progress. It is an honour and a pleasure to be her student.
