My salute to the Best music teacher in the world!!!
I met my music teacher Mrs Chhaya Kulkarni online in April 2007. After getting the computer set for required audiovisual settings, I started my unique experience of learning vocal music online in May 2007. Learning music, sitting in the comfort of my sweet home and at any time of the day or night ( I have taken many lessons at 2.00 am) is so convenient. The words, comfort and convenient, that I have used here are so inadequate to express my feelings.
So far Chhayaji has taught me classical vocal music in the form of many ragas,Lots of bhajans and also many film songs. She has not only helped me progress in my singing but also have helped progress in Taal and Sur by encouraging me to play harmonium and electronic tabla. Chhayaji has such tremendous passion and dedication for music that regular students are showered with the best music. Her quality of singing and teaching is unmatched. This is about music.
My best music teacher, Chhayaji is also very compassionate, generous and hard working. I could not have found a better teacher. She is talented in many other arts such as writing plays, stories and poems. She has been writing for many Marathi magazines for many years.
I had a great fortune of meeting her and organizing her concerts when she visited Chicago in December 2007. My salute to the Best music teacher in the world !!!
