Best Vocal Music Classes in Marlborough, MA

I had the privilege of learning Hindustani classical vocal music from Neelima Chaturvedi for over a decade (age 5 to 18). What began with simple alankaars evolved into a deep, rewarding journey through complex Raags. I learned to sing in several different styles, including Khyals, Taranas, Dhrupads, Thumris, and Bhajans to name a few. She is a more than just an incredible teacher; she is knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate. She pushed me to grow while always making the learning process joyful and meaningful. Her guidance shaped not just my voice, but my appreciation for the art form. I had my Manch Pravesh at age 18 and it was the culmination of everything she taught me, and a moment I’ll always cherish. I’m endlessly grateful for her mentorship and would recommend her to anyone serious about learning Hindustani classical music.
