This is a very good music institute. The teacher Dhara Bakshi helps understand the basics of music very nicely. I am learning from her for last 2 years. They also conduct various activities for all students throughout the year.

My 4 yr old is enjoying learning music from the best. Dhara is very patient and teaches with being calm and caring. I can be at ease and glad that my daughter is in safe hands and will excel in her singing.

Dhara is a wonderful teacher, who is determined to bring out the best in her students. She sends encouraging videos to keep us motivated and inspired. Explanations of the content being taught is such that we come from a point of understanding and not something we memorize. I’m delighted to be working with not only a wonderful teacher, but also a wonderful human being. Thank you, Dhara.

I have been taking lessons at ICMS for a few months now and it’s been a great experience Dhara is such talented artist and an excellent teacher . She goes at the students pace , takes time to explain and suggest corrections and is really patient with all of her students . Each class is well thought out and organized . I really appreciate that the lesson recordings are available to practice and refresh at the end of each class . At first I was a bit skeptical about learning classical music online but with a bit of creativity In using online platforms and making a few adjustments it certainly is possible and very enjoyable! I look forward to this continued journey and am very grateful to be part of the ICMS family !!

Dhara ma’am is a wonderful and patient teacher. She is good with teaching children. My child has been taking classes with her for six months now and I can see how much they have improved, in terms of confidence as well!

Our family is fortunate to have my two sons (age 13 and 8) and I enrolled to ICMSC and learning from our teacher - Dhara Bakshi. With super organized notes, class discipline, a small teacher to student ratio, we feel very motivated and encouraged to learn and follow the highly focused curriculum. The recordings and detailed class material are super handy and helpful for whenever and wherever we like to practice singing. Feel lucky and blessed to be a part of this fast growing music school! Best wishes!

Dhara is a beautiful person outside and inside. She is the best person anyone would love to learn music from. My daughter has a memorable learning experience from her. If you have deep passion for music you are at the right place and with the right person. Good luck!

ICMSC Family and Dhara Ma’am are an incredible team that strive to bring the teachings of indian classical music to students in maryland and around the world. I have greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from my in person classes and I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a teacher or seeking to learn proper classical singing to contact ICMSC!

I feel extremely blessed to be a part of the school. Dhara is a patient, kind and very talented teacher. She makes her students feel very comfortable no matter what level we are at. I feel I want to practice more and do better and better in each class and make her proud. Even though they have their hands full, running the school at full capacity, I feel, she is always there if I have any question or if I need any help understanding the material. I look forward to my class every week. She makes each session very valuable as well as fun. Thank you again Dhara for this very well organized school and giving us a great platform to pursue our passion.

Ms Dhara is a gifted teacher with lot of patience with little children. She is a great singer herself and knows how to reach to young minds. She makes singing simple, step by step process. She provides constant encouragement to the children. She knows how to bring out the best in them! I appreciate one on one classes the most! My daughter has been with her for one and half year now and I recommend her without any reservations. We are lucky to have found her in the local community! Sanjivani.

Dharaji is wonderful with the young kids! She is very patient and kind but also motivates them to learn and practice. We have been doing classes online and it has worked out very well with no technical issues. Also, it is very helpful to have audio recordings on Google classroom to practice from. Overall, the classes and curriculum are very well organized and teaching methods are very effective, even for the little ones.

Dhara Bakshi is a great music teacher, and really makes you interested in what you are learning. Individually, she is an excellent singer, and is great at passing down her knowledge in a way that's systematic, efficient, and fun. I enjoy taking classes from her! If you want to learn, do so! Your life---both musically and generally----will be a lot richer because of it. I know mine is.

We have had a great experience so far. Dharaji is an excellent teacher. Her calmness and patience with children is especially commendable. The curriculum is well structured and the children and loving it so far.

It's a Pleasure to be part of ICMSC Family. Dhara Bakshi Ji sets the best Standards and foundation for Learning Indian Classical Music in the U.S. Hats off to the Entire ICMSC team for their Unwavering commitment and support.

Dhara ji is a very sincere and dedicated teacher. Not only is she an incredible singer, she’s also a very good teacher, especially with young kids. My kid has been taking classes from her for over two years now.

I really enjoy my lessons with Dhara. She is very helpful, always upbeat, patient and positive. She is very good at assessing students abilities and goes out of her way to help them learn. Not only is she a gifted musician but also highly skilled at teaching. I highly recommend ICMSC! October 2024: A little update on my musical journey with ICMSC thus far. I have now been learning for almost 5 years, I am in Madhyama Purna. The results & growth I achieved thru lessons has made my long-time dream of attaining a Visharad in Indian Classical music finally seem like a reality! As an adult student I'm glad I found a teacher as patient, friendly & knowledgeable as Dhara.

Both my daughter and I have recently joined ICMSC and our first impression about this school is nothing short of excellent. The management is very organized, the courses are well structured and communication is clear. Dhara ji is a super talented and patient teacher. She is very good with understanding the students' needs and capabilities to place them at the right spot for learning. Her great teaching style, supported with providing regular study materials, makes it an ideal place to learn music for both kids and grown ups. Highly recommend this institution.

Dhara is a wonderful, highly skilled and talented teacher that one can have. She is very patient and kids enjoy her class too. My son has been taking music lessons from her since last year and he eagerly waits for his music lessons every week, that shows how dedicated and warm she is! In this pandemic, even her virtual classes are with same enthusiasm and determination. Happy to have her as our music guru!

Learning music from Dhara Maam at ICMSC for the past three years has been a truly privileged experience. Her embodiment of patience and kindness shines through in every lesson. She skillfully guides us through our mistakes, always willing to answer our questions with warmth and clarity. This creates an encouraging environment that fosters both growth and confidence in our musical abilities. Dhara Maam's passion for music is infectious, inspiring us to explore our creativity and push our boundaries. Each class is filled with valuable insights and practicing techniques, making the learning process not only effective but also enjoyable. I am grateful for the wonderful journey I’ve had under her guidance and look forward to continuing my musical development with her.

I’ve been learning classical music with Dhara for over 4 years now. It’s been an absolute delight learning with her. She is patient and kind with her students but more importantly enjoys teaching of music and that kind of positive energy is infectious. You want to be a better student… it’s all the motivation without the stress!! Thank you, Dhara.

Oct 2024: Update on my ongoing music learning experience at ICMSC. Has been three years now and it continues to be an amazing, enriching, & enjoyable experience. Dhara ma’m is very motivating and goes the extra mile to make our learning process fun and effortless. ICMSC has now added Live Tabla for some sessions which adds immensely to our understanding. Dharaji is super talented and gifted teacher - a rare combination. She is very patient, encouraging and dedicated. Ruchirji and Vagmi do an excellent job of keeping everything organized and respond to student queries in a timely manner. I really look forward to music lessons and feel motivated to practice. Blessed to have found ICMSC. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.

I have been learning from Dhara ji since past 6 months. Our batch consists of all adults. We make so many mistakes, don't practise enough, but she never shows any frustration or disappointment. She is very patient. She explains the technicalities of each song in detail. She makes each one of us recite each note and does not proceed with the lesson unless all of us are on the same page. She is really a very good teacher. At the same time, she is extremely talented. Her singing is so beautiful. I feel lucky that I came across ICMSC and signed up for the classes.

Our young one has been learning under Dhara-ji for about 18 months now and we are absolutely thrilled with the learning experience. To elaborate: (1) There is core sincerity; a genuine interest in making students learn and appreciate classical music (2) The curriculum is structured but the teaching is not mechanical. Students are taught values of aesthetic presentation and discipline (3) Dhara-ji is super friendly, patient, and encouraging but the content is not dumbed down (4) The class size, format (group + solo singing), and use of technology works well (5) There is an effort by Ruchir-ji and Dhara-ji to cultivate a sense of community rather than just some commercially-oriented classes.

Dharaji is the best teacher for Hindustani classical music. Been learning from her for last 3 years. She is not only a great teacher but also a great human being. So blessed to be able to know her and learn from her.

If you want to learn from an expert then Dhara mam it is.
