Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our admissions, teaching methodology, online class setup, and tuition fees.
I have never studied classical music before. Can I still join? +
Absolutely. That is exactly where Swar Sadhana (Foundation Programme) begins. Many of our students had zero musical background when they joined. We maintain a small, focused batch of only 10 students to provide meaningful guidance, starting with Swar identification, pitch accuracy, Alankars, and foundational Riyaz routines.
Category: Admissions & PrerequisitesDo I need a Harmonium or Tanpura at home to start? +
No physical instrument is required to begin. We provide you with our high-fidelity digital Tanpura drone and our interactive Virtual Harmonium directly on this website for daily riyaz. Later, if you wish to purchase a physical instrument, Ankit Sharma will personally guide you on selecting the right scale and quality.
Category: Admissions & PrerequisitesHow do online vocal classes work? Is audio quality good enough for subtle music? +
We use dedicated high-definition audio streaming configured specifically for acoustic music (disabling aggressive compression and noise gates). Every subtle meend, micro-tonal shruti, and vocal nuance is transmitted with crystal clarity. Students also receive lesson recordings for revision where available.
Category: Class Format & TimingsWhat are the batch timings? Can I balance classes with a full-time job or studies? +
Yes. Classes are scheduled with working professionals and students in mind, offering convenient morning and evening slots across weekdays and weekends. In our 1-to-1 private mentorship tracks, class schedules are tailored directly between you and Ankit Sharma to match your exact timezone.

Category: Tuition & EnrollmentHow does the Complimentary Demo Session work? +
After you take the live Sa Test on this site (or connect directly with us), we schedule a 1-to-1 25-minute introductory video session with Ankit Sharma. During this session, Guruji listens to your vocal range, discusses your musical aspirations, demonstrates our teaching methodology, and recommends the exact learning path best suited for you.
Category: Demo & AssessmentHow does the International Mentorship track work across different timezones? +
We currently mentor students across the USA, UK, Europe, UAE, Singapore, and Australia. Private 1-to-1 sessions are synchronized to your local timezone (EST, PST, GMT, GST, etc.). International students also enjoy dedicated WhatsApp audio riyaz review between sessions.
