Teaching Philosophy
My teaching approach is rooted in the ancient understanding that music is not merely an art form, but a spiritual practice. Through Nada Yoga, students learn to connect with the natural sound that exists within and around us.
I believe in nurturing each student's unique voice while grounding them in the classical traditions. The journey involves developing both technical proficiency and spiritual awareness, allowing music to become a pathway to self-discovery and inner peace.
My integral approach combines traditional vocal techniques with meditation practices, ear training, and the exploration of how sound affects consciousness. This holistic method helps students develop not just as musicians, but as conscious beings connected to the universal vibration.
