Frequently Asked Questions.

Yes. Our online ghazal classes are taught live over video call by a dedicated teacher who hears every note and every word.

A ghazal is a poem first and a song second. Your teacher helps you read and understand each sher, so the meaning lands when you sing it. Through personal feedback, you learn to sing sorrow, longing, joy and wit with restraint, and to let a pause or a held note say what words cannot.
