Now that I am retired, I ventured to rekindle my passion to learn Hindustani classical music. Although I was eager and excited to learn music,at this phase of my life, I was a bit sceptical about my vocal skills. Ms. Sinchana Murthy was able to assess my abilities and adjust my lessons accordingly. With patience and encouragement, Ms. Sinchana Murthy has helped me make great strides in realizing my dreams in this art.

I have been learning Hindustani Music from Sinchana Murthy Ma'am for the past two years. I have always admired her for her passion towards her work and her flawless rendition of bhajans, khayals and and other forms of classical music. These two years have been an enriching journey and I look forward to learning more!

Not every accomplished singer is a good teacher. Sinchana Murthy is both.  Her teaching style is rigorous but also makes learning enjoyable - a difficult balance to achieve. Sinchana Murthy is also the consummate professional. In two years as her student (on person and now online) she has never been unprepared for a class, or given me anything less than her full attention. The highlight of my time with her so far, is a concert she organised for all her students. Thanks to her incredible energy and training, we outdid ourselves in the presence of maestros.

A key to growing in music is only be possible with a teacher who uplift you, whose presence inspires you and whose dedication drives you.. I am so blessed to put my daughter under Sinchana Murthy mam who is a concoction of all these, For my 7 years daughter she is truly an inspiration. Her one to one class and systematic approach is remarkable. Being a student under her is a blessed experience for my daughter.

First of all, Sinchana Murthy Ma'am has been my dream Guru.I must say that!I always wished to have a Guru like her who would focus on each student, brief them the differences of each ragas,how to add in more emotion according to the Raaga,teach only what is required at that level.Now I am more than satisfied with her teaching methodology.In fact, her teaching has taught me to be more patient which is very much required to develop any form of art.Ma'am has also given us a space to apply each ragas personally which gives us an idea about the raga and how to add in more beauty to it keeping the speciality of Raaga as it is.Above all, she is such a good and humble person and i feel very happy and blessed to be her student.

With performing arts especially classical forms, the teacher’s role is not just one of teaching basics of the art form, but more importantly, to motivate them to go one step further. In every sense of the word, Sinchana Murthy has been doing that with my daughter for the last 6 years now. With young kids, teachers need to be patient and be able to adapt to their varying focus levels and interests. Sinchana Murthy has all that and more. I wish her and her music and arts school, the very best of luck.

I was desperately looking for a Hindustani music teacher in south Bangalore, when one of my theatre friends suggested Smt Sinchana Murthy. My son started his lessons at the age of 8, from Sinchana Murthy mam, I noticed from far he would be busy picking the straws from the mat or fiddled with his music book until it was tattered. To this his music teacher kept her cool but had her own sweet way to discipline him. It’s been over 3 years now, he now sits very calm, attends his regular classes, and has picked up the lessons very well. I see his music teacher treat him like her own child, lovingly, yet firmly to bring the required sincerity in pursuing music. Besides attaining great heights with music and dance , Sinchana Murthy has certification in music therapy and understands the different needs of her students. By inviting us to the concerts and Baithaks , she gives her students opportunities to hear the classical renditions from other renowned singers. Sinchana Murthy mam aswell creates an annual event to show case their skillful preparation by setting up the stage for all her students. With all these, Pratyush is grooming from a distracted child to now a focused individual. His academic grades have also improved since. One of the gifted things in life is to seek the guidance of a good teacher, “while mother gives birth to life, a guru gives directions to life. Sinchana Murthy mam is not just a music teacher to our son but a, philosopher and guide to him. Music is long term and life term and we hope and pray we have an everlasting endeavor with Smt. Sinchana Murthy. We thank you for the bottom of heart for guiding our child. " we are only trying to return just a handful of what we are receiving in abunadace from a dedicated guru "
