  • “The classes are very well structured and progress step by step, which is great for a beginner like me. My Teacher, Mansi Dhade ji, is absolutely awesome. … She gives personal, honest and at times constructive feedback on voice, pitch, and emotion in every class. Highly recommend Artium for anyone who wants to learn Hindi film music with understanding of sur, taal and basics of Hindustani classical music in a right way.”
    Nitin Rakshe🇦🇺 Australia · July 2026Trustpilot
  • “I am learning Hindustani classical from Neeladri Charles. He is an exceptional teacher. His knowledge of theory is amazing. … The other unique attribute is that he makes the effort to accommodate my times as I am overseas.”

  • “My musical journey in popular Hindi music began nearly a year ago with my fantastic teacher, Suraksha Kumar. … Finding a good teacher solves half your problem. … I also started western singing classes with Vivaan, who taught me how to sing without straining my voice. The teachers and staff are experienced and supportive.”
    Priyanca Chauhan🇦🇺 Australia · August 2026Trustpilot
  • “I am very proud and happy to be studying at Artium Academy with my excellent teacher, Alwin Vargese. Even though he is from Kerala, he quickly listens to new Tamil songs and teaches them to me exactly as they were originally sung. He is extremely patient and works with me until I can sing correctly and confidently.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child learn Hindustani classical vocal from teachers in India while living in Australia?

Yes. Artium's live 1:1 classes make it possible for children in Australia to learn from experienced teachers in India. For families living away from India, it is also a way to stay connected to the music and traditions they grew up with.

Is online Hindustani classical vocal suitable for children in Australia?

Yes. Classes are live and personalised rather than pre recorded. The academic team assesses the child's current level during the free trial and recommends a suitable starting point.

What will my child learn in Hindustani classical vocal classes?

Preparatory, Intermediate, Proficient and Advanced levels, with work on swaras, rhythm, sargam, saptak, ragas, bandish, alaap, taan and performance skills.

Can my child learn Hindustani classical vocal if they are a complete beginner?

Absolutely. Children do not need prior formal training to start. The learning plan is adapted to their age, current ability and pace, so beginners can build their foundations step by step.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Parents can stay connected to the learning journey through the structured curriculum, assignments, practice activities and teacher feedback. Artium also provides tools that help learners practise between classes and track their progress.

Who leads the Hindustani Classical Vocal course at Artium?

Smt. Shubha Mudgal is the Faculty Head for Hindustani Classical Music. The course is designed and curated under this academic leadership, while classes are delivered by Artium's trained teachers.

Does my child need any prior singing experience to start Hindustani classical music?

No. Your child can start as a complete beginner. We begin with simple foundations such as breathing, swaras and pitch, and the teacher gradually builds from there.

How much should my child practise between Hindustani music classes?

Short, regular practice is usually more helpful than one long session. The teacher gives your child simple exercises and practice work that can fit into their routine.

Will my child learn songs as well as Hindustani classical music?

Yes. The programme builds a strong classical foundation through swaras, ragas and bandish, while also giving children suitable songs and compositions to work on as they progress.
