Student Reflections

Voices from the Gurukul

Hear how our students—from complete beginners in Delhi and Bangalore to diaspora vocalists in London and Dubai—discovered resonance, stability, and joy in classical singing.

AS

Aditi Srivastava

New Delhi, India
Swar Sadhna — Foundation Course

"Before joining ASHCM, I constantly struggled to hold notes without my throat tightening or my pitch wavering. Ankit Sharma’s Kharaj morning exercises completely transformed my vocal stability. The Indore Gharana approach is truly meditative and grounded in real vocal biology."

Key Outcome: Steady pitch within 6 weeks
VM

Vikram Malhotra

Bengaluru, India (Tech Executive)
Riyaz Marg — Intermediate Vocal

"As someone managing high-pressure corporate work, finding time for classical music felt impossible. Ankit Sharma’s structured daily riyaz regimen made practice effortless and intentional. The way he explains the nuance of Meend in Raag Yaman gave me immense confidence."

Key Outcome: Clear raag grammar and structured riyaz
PS

Priya Sundaram

London, UK (Diaspora Mentee)
International 1-to-1 Mentorship

"Finding a genuine Indore Gharana vocalist in the UK who teaches with academic depth and spiritual patience was a dream come true. Despite the 4.5-hour time difference, scheduling is seamless, and the private 1-to-1 audio feedback via WhatsApp keeps my practice on track between sessions."

Key Outcome: Authentic Gurukul feel despite being thousands of miles away
RD

Rahul Deshmukh

Pune, Maharashtra
Raag Vistar — Advanced Mastery

"Ankit Sharma’s mastery over Merukhand permutations is remarkable. He broke down the combinatorial logic step by step without sacrificing musical feeling. My understanding of Khayal badhat has matured tremendously over the last year."

Key Outcome: Merukhand taan architecture mastered
AN

Anjali Nair

Dubai, UAE
Swar Sadhna — Foundation Track

"I had never sung classical music in my life and felt intimidated by the tradition. Ankit Sharma made me feel welcomed and respected from the very first demo session. He told me: “The voice follows what the ear learns to recognise” — and it proved completely true."

Key Outcome: Zero classical experience to confident classical listener & singer
