My name is Shreya Srinivasan, and I have been learning music online from Chaitrra Akka for the last 3 years, and I have loved every moment of it! During this time, I have been able to expand my repertoire to include krithis in various raagams and taalams as well as develop my skills in manodharmam. Akka’s teaching has allowed me to experiment with my own voice and practice as well as ensure that I am developing a strong foundation in Carnatic music, so I can sing other genres with ease too! I was able to further enhance my learning when I had the wonderful opportunity to engage in two weeks of in person classes with Akka during my summer holidays last year, which was an unforgettable experience!
