" I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to the Guru and the supporting staff for all the help. We were initially apprehensive as to how long distance learning would work out, but all our concerns were alleviated within the first couple of sessions.
We have been so fortunate to have Guru Smt Bhooma Sriram teaching violin to our son Sameth Sitaram. She goes the extra mile to ensure that Sameth understands the theory behind raagas and thalas during the violin sessions. She usually sings the varnams or kritis and encourages Sameth to follow on violin. This is giving him a different perspective and wonderful learning experience.
Looking forward to a prolonged learning endeavor with Bmusician and the respected Guru.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreedhar"

Very good and effective class. Im encouraged by teacher to play from memory rather than referring to notes, and to practice basic lessons too in different ragas.
