PRIVATE TEACHING STUDIO

Priya teaches Hindustani vocal music for students who demonstrate sincerity and dedication to the process. Her approach focuses on training the voice, building the foundations of sur and taal, and taking students on the journey of exploring and improvising within a raga. She teaches all age ranges and levels and also works with musicians of other genres interested in widening their spectrum to incorporate techniques of Indian classical music into their style. She teaches online and in-person. Currently, she works with students from all corners of the globe, ranging from Seattle, Washington to Melbourne, Australia. As creator of the podcast, "Music and Masti," she has developed creative and contemporary approaches to working with children.
