Feedback from previous students:

Anand has been an amazing music teacher for both of my children. He's incredibly talented as a musician and vocalist, as well as being able to connect and engage with children while adapting his program to each individual child. Above all, he's a kind person and a wonderful role model. I cannot recommend him enough, and any child would be lucky to have him as their teacher.

Anand is the kind of music teacher that you never forget. He's not only incredibly talented in countless areas of music, but also goes above and beyond to help every student, regardless of their skill level. Whether it's through his own practices or by being flexible with how each individual learns and creates, he encourages growth and development in others. Although his background focuses on opera, he's equally talented in musical theatre, classical, modern, and countless other genres of music. He's always open to exploring new avenues and ideas. I've been fortunate enough to work with Anand in a group setting, individual setting, and as part of a choir for a larger production. Even on my most stressful days, his positive and upbeat attitude kept a smile on my face, and I've seen continuous improvement in my musical ability and confidence whenever I've worked with him. -Sally S.
