Indian Classical Music School of Columbia, LLC (ICMSC)

"I have been learning from Dhara ji since past 6 months. Our batch consists of all adults. We make so many mistakes, don't practise enough, but she never shows any frustration or disappointment. She is very patient. She explains the technicalities of each song in detail. She makes each one of us recite each note and does not proceed with the lesson unless all of us are on the same page. She is really a very good teacher. At the same time, she is extremely talented. Her singing is so beautiful. I feel lucky that I came across ICMSC and signed up for the classes."

"Learning music from Dhara Maam at ICMSC has been a privileged experience. Her embodiment of patience and kindness, especially in guiding us through our mistakes, combined with her willingness to answer all questions, creates an encouraging environment that fosters both growth and confidence in learning music. It's been a truly wonderful learning journey."

"We have had a great experience so far. Dharaji is an excellent teacher. Her calmness and patience with children is especially commendable. The curriculum is well structured and the children and loving it so far."

"ICMSC Family and Dhara Ma’am are an incredible team that strive to bring the teachings of indian classical music to students in maryland and around the world. I have greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from my in person classes and I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a teacher or seeking to learn proper classical singing to contact ICMSC!"

"Dharaji is the best teacher for Hindustani classical music. Been learning from her for last 3 years. She is not only a great teacher but also a great human being. So blessed to be able to know her and learn from her."
