Nidhi has vast musical experience. She is a wonderful musician and is an excellent teacher.Nidhi makes our music lessons fun and challenging. She is very sweet, kind, friendly and patient. She always walks me through music theory, as well as the details of the scale and taal. She has excellent skill and enthusiasm, making me look forward to our classes I really enjoy our classes. Thanks for the great lessons and I look forward to many more! I highly recommend Nidhi's Jersey Tarana.

I wanted to write a small note about the summer camp program that I enrolled my daughter Meher into this year. She goes to this place called Jersey Tarana (jerseytarana.com) organized by Nidhi Kumar. She has learnt soooo much in the last couple of weeks about India, our heritage, writing & speaking hindi, dancing on bollywood numbers, learning and singing all the patriotic songs, arts & crafts (including the rakhi she hand made for her brother) and soooo much more. I couldn’t have found a better place for her. So if anyone is still looking for a place for the next couple of weeks (classes go on until end of August I believe) or for next summer then I highly recommend jerseytarana.com.

My 3.5 yr old attended Nidhi’s hindi classes as well as summer camp. It was very hard to teach her hindi as she was a late talker and been brought by a gujrati nanny. After few weeks in Nidhi’s summer camp, she loves singing hindi songs and dancing. She even wants me to sing hindi songs to her now. Besides helping the child build up these skills, I would highly commend Nidhi’s sweet nature. She is always so nice not only with kids but with parents too. It is always a delight to talk to her. We are very happy to be a part of Jersey tarana family

Thanks to Nidhi's summer camp, my son has been able to spend a wonderful summer. He made lotta friends, kindled his interest in learning hindi and our culture through heritage classes. Heart felt thanks to her vocal trainig. Thanks to Shivangi,the art teacher,who created wonders with the little hands. Thanks to Shehnaz who transformed the little ones to wonderful dancers.On the whole, I'm a happy and proud mom and I'm looking forward for her upcoming programs for kids.

My husband and I do not have enough words to express our thanks to Nidhi for fine tuning our 7years old daughter’s interest in music. Nidhi has been teaching my daughter for over 2 years now, it started with Hindi classes. I was amazed that within a few months my daughter was able to write and read quite a bit. And now she learns Hindustani music and is very excited to show up at every music class. She is now very excited and looking forward to Nidhi Aunty’s summer classes!!

The best thing about Nidhi, apart from her great voice and talent as a singer, is that she is a great teacher and a very sensible and down to earth person. She is very sweet natured and patient, always striving to bring out the best in her students. My daughter absolutely loves Nidhi Aunty and looks forward to her lessons. Not only that, she comes home and practices without being told. Nidhi's enthusiasm in boosting kids confidence through shows and recitals (a very important aspect) is commendable. Not all women with a 6 month old baby can organize large scale events. This shows pure commitment on Jersey Tarana's part. I am very glad to have found Nidhi and recommend her to everyone!!

Dear Nidhi, today program is a super hit. you have really really worked hard with the kids. i am amazed to see mahima's performance. thanks a ton to you. jaspreet

Nidhi is an excellent music teacher! She strikes a good balance between Indian Classical and bollywood semi classical keeping the students engaged. I have been taking classes from her for almost 2 years now and would highly recommend her!

Just wanted to tell you that Tiya is doing really well in Hindi/Singing. All credit goes to you. She is completely at par with other students in her class, in Hindi/Singing Even the teacher is surprised that how come she is doing good in Hindi, when she did not have it as a subject, all these years. Just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!

Rocking Performance You rocked as a performer and the best thing that impresses me is you customize the song selection based on the mood of audience and their demand. Your down to earth nature reflects in your style of singing as well. We had a great time

Definitely is looking forward to listen to you more often in events. . Thank you for singing Garba in the middle of performance, all of us had great time

Impressiev Presentation Along With Melodious singing Very professional singing and presentation. You have a great team and together you guys had wonderful performance for garba night at Hindu community center. Everyone loved your singing and team’s performances

I met Nidhi at a friend’s house where she sang some beautiful songs. I found her very friendly and charming and what a sweet and melodious voice she had! The committee members of Bihar & Jharkhand Association of North America(BJANA), invited her to perform for one of their events this summer. She sang wonderfully.

Outstanding performance with wide range of singing. You sang oldies as well as new songs with ease and that shows your range as a singer. Your performance had made our event look even more memorable and lots of positive feedback from audience. Thanks again

Nidhi is a great vocalist and musician. I have been taking classical singing lessons for more than a year and really enjoy every lesson. Best part is that she is quite nimble in terms of her teaching style for all ages of aspiring singers. She keep student/s engaged throughout the process. It was my life long dream to become a good singer and she has provided great coaching to improve my vocals as well as my confidence in singing. Highly recommend her to upcoming singers.

Nidhi is an excellent singer and a mentor. I started her classes 6 months back and I am so much enjoying her classes. She had made me fall in love with music all over again. Nidhi’s passion and love for music is so inspiring! I strongly recommend her.

Nidhi is an excellent singer and a great tutor. I started my lessons with her about 2 months back and i am enjoying her class to the core. Nidhi is very patient when it comes to teaching and calmly explains you the intricacies of classical singing. Without her guidance I would have never understand Hindi classical music so deeply. Highly recommend her classes to anyone and for any age group

We are taking Hindustani classical lessons with Nidhi for almost a year now. She is a passionate and knowledgeable teacher who is very encouraging to her students. To keep it interesting she keeps a good mix of classical and non-classical songs while also guiding on the technique. Happy to be part of this music family!

I joined Nidhi maam's class in 2019 about 1.5 years ago and have learnt so many new things from her, sang with her in the last garba function and have built a new community of friendship and fellow musicians. Currently the classes happen on zoom and I opted for the private lessons where she can really work on what my voice and training specifically needs. Its always a positive experience learning from her and Talking to her about various things. I highly recommend Nidhi ma'am if you are a beginner

I have tried learning Hindustani Classical several times over the years - only to disengage after a couple of months. There were many reasons - time conflicts of course the biggest reason like everyone. But one of the main reason was also frustration at my own progress. I have been training with Nidhi for about 8 months now - the longest with anyone without getting frustrated at myself for not making progress. Somehow, Nidhi has been able to intuit these phases where my motivation level falls down and help me come out of it. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for a teacher to keep their students interested, and Nidhi would score 10/10 on this measure. I am naturally pretty good at light singing, and that is NOT a plus when attempting a transition to classical. First, the voice modulations that Bollywood singing is full of are immediately at odds with the precision and discipline required by classical music, especially at early stages. It's a hard problem to correct because one has to UNLEARN what is naturally there, and start all over from A, B,C.... I am thankful to Nidhi for helping me understand the problem and realizing how important it is to correct the process right at the start. Nidhi is able to help me because she is exceptional at calibrating various students of hers and then creating individualized training plans. In addition, the little words of practical wisdom she provides while working with her students make a huge difference in learning.

I feel fortunate to have Nidhi as our teacher. My both kids and I started taking online lessons with her since last 3 months and we love the class time. Nidhi pays proper attention to all in the class. She is very wry flexible and patient with kids. I will highly recommend her classes.

Very Happy with Nidhi's classes. My daughter is learning from her more than 1 year. In addition to hindusthani classical she is also learning some melodious hindi songs .Nidhi is very friendly with kids and very nice teacher .

I started attending Nidhi ji's classes 1.5 years ago and that was one of the best decisions I've taken as an adult. Attending these classes is like going to a happy place for me, and I look forward to them each week. Nidhi ji creates a fun and friendly environment and has a very positive way of encouraging growth and learning in her students. My friends and family repeatedly tell me that my singing has improved since I started taking lessons. Hindustani Classical Music is a very complex and nuanced art, so it is extremely important to have a knowledgeable and skilled teacher. I'm so glad I found such a teacher in Nidhi ji. :)

Nidhi teaches the ABC of singing with a balance of theory, classical vocal singing and Bollywood songs. He is very sweet, patient and has a structured method of teaching people of all age groups. She will provide you with opportunities for live singing, professional recording or preparing for your own singing event. She will also prepare you for taking the Hindustani classical singing exam.

My daughter has been learning music from Nidhi for over 2 + yrs. Nidhi is extremely patient and takes her time with every kid. My daughter never enjoyed classical music but now eagerly looks forward to her classes and her singing has improved a lot. All thanks to Nidhi. I would highly recommend Nidhi.

I've been taking lessons for over a year now and I see a huge improvement in my voice. Nidhiji is an excellent teacher and takes a special interest in her students success

My daughter started going to Nidhi’s Hindustani classical classes in June and she loves it. With every passing month I am seeing her grow in skill and confidence. I highly recommend her class.

Nidhi is a very good singer and she teaches Hindustani Classical Music. I highly recommend her.

It's been few months since I joined Nidhi ji's singing class. Not only is she a great teacher but also a very positive person. She is always smiling and encouraging her students. She gives her students ample opportunities to perform at events. I really enjoy the classical training offered by her. She pays attention to each and every student in the class and makes sure we understand the class well. Her approach to teaching is a very good mix of modern and traditional. The class really makes me detach myself from other worldly matters and overall is a very refreshing experience.

Nidhi is a great teacher who not only focuses on teaching but also make it fun for kids with a balance of classical and Bollywood songs. I highly recommend for young kids. This is a great way for them to connect and learn about their culture through music. Nidhi loves teaching kids and it shows. She goes the extra mile in creating opportunities and events where kids can showcase their talent. This is more than just a class. It helps your kids be well rounded and confident individuals who will be so proud of their rich heritage when they grow up!

When I had considered taking beginners Hindustani music lessons about a year ago as an adult, I had no idea what to expect. I am very glad I took the leap of faith and started taking lessons from Nidhi. Nidhi has been an amazing teacher with abundance of knowledge, patience, and above all, love and passion for music as well as her students. She truly wants her students to succeed and learn music well so she goes above and beyond to facilitate make up classes, give timely feedback with a smile, organize events so we can perform, promotes students to do YouTube videos, has structured exams planned, and so on. I highly recommend taking lessons with Nidhi if you are considering taking Hindustani music lessons! You will not be disappointed! :) -Aanchal

Nidhi is very passionate about music and it shows in her teaching. She is very knowledgeable about classical music theory as well as resourceful and hands on. I recommend Nidhi

Nidhi is a great teacher of Hindustani music, for adults and kids alike. She handles her students with extreme patience and diligence and helps them build on their strengths and work on their weakness. Her focus is to not only make you stronger technically but also to improve your live performance skills, often glossed over by many teachers. She is quick to adapt her teaching style based on your weakness and what you are looking for. I would highly recommend her for singing lessons no matter what your age is, as long as you are passionate.

Nidhi is a very knowledgeable and dedicated teacher. It is a pleasure to learn from her. I would highly recomend her classes for ker D's and adults whobwant to learn this form of art.

Nidhi has been an exceptional teacher for my daughter,Samika. She not only has a great classical curriculum but also knows how to teach a child in an interesting way. The advantage of learning here is to not only gain classical music knowledge but also perform at various events which really boosted my daughter's confidence. Thank you Jersey Tarana for bringing Music to our family!

My son has been learning music from Nidhi for nearly 3 years now and I couldn't have found a better teacher than Nidhi to fuel his passion for my music. He(now 7 yrs old) has learnt many raags and songs. He enjoys every class and looks forward to it. This the biggest testament for the music school. Nidhi, an awesome singer, is an excellent teacher as well; she not only knows how to handle kids so as to ensure maximum learning but also assesses each kid to extract their strength and use it to make them do better. She is a very honest teacher, focusing solely on teaching the kids, even if sometimes the class needs to run overtime. She also provides numerous opportunities for kids to perform, giving them various platforms to showcase their talent. She teaches all types of songs like folk/devotional/classical/movie songs, to the kids, so they have great mix of learning. Additionally, she also teaches playing the keyboard. One unique thing about her teaching, she also teaches the kids, the history/culture behind each raag Nidhis Jersey tarana, with a passionate and outstanding teacher, is a great value add and 'the place' for those who want to learn music. Thank you Nidhi for adding music to our lives !!!
