About Naveen
I have been conducting Guitar, Ukulele, Music Theory and Vocal lessons (Indian Classical Music) classes for the past 10 years, from the very basics to advanced levels, along with vocals on guitar. Throughout these 10 fruitful years, I have come across and taught learners of all ages, be they young children, teens, adults, or the elderly. In addition to my regular instructions, I always place an emphasis on fundamental musical knowledge, practice methods, and building musicianship skills.
I conduct sessions with structured lessons for beginners so that one can learn the basics of instrument with ease. The basics are covered in almost six months, which includes overall anatomy, study, and playing. As music is a vast and endless subject, consistency, patience, and time are the keys to success when it comes to sharpening your skills on the instrument.
There are two things I constantly focus on with every student: the technical and theoretical elements of music. Once the concept is clear, it gets easier to learn any other instrument. I teach Guitar, Ukulele, Hindustani Classical Vocals training, and Baritone Ukulele.
Concept-based teaching methodology:
• Guitar/Ukulele Anatomy.
• Fingerstyle picking with chord progressions.
• Plectrum picking: alternate exercises along with solos, scales, and tabs.
• Chords: the caged form system of chords It is helpful in memorizing the chords on the entire fretboard.
The CAGED system covers each and every chordal form on the guitar, which is very helpful in various genres of guitar playing.
• Rhythm: playing rhythm in different time signatures. Later on, these time signatures are implemented with backing tracks and songs.
• Various finger dexterity exercises.
• Accompaniment to singing: It is the most crucial part of guitar learning. It doesn’t matter if the learner is a good singer or not. The motive behind singing with the guitar is to get the exact essence of rhythm along with swift and clean chord switching.
• Introduction to scales, open scales, and CAGED-form scales. Improvisation with scales and forming melodious lead phrases.
• Formation of intervals, scales, and chord progressions.
• Modes: Musical modes organize the distinct tonalities present within the sequence of notes in any parent scale. Modes in music are scale-like patterns that can begin on any note of the scale, not just the root. Every note in the parent scale has its own chordal harmony.
• The Circle of fifth concept, its use, and its implementation while playing.
• Study and playing of Indian classical music through Sargam listening.
• Study and playing of Western classical music through staff notation reading.

Naveen Baloni has been a great Guitar teacher for me. I have been seeking his guidance virtually from Bangalore and he has really made virtual guitar learning so easy. Initially I was skeptical of how I will learn a new instrument that too being in a different city, but Naveen Baloni's phenomenal style of teaching has me believe that we need to come out of our mind block and believe in a true professional that he is. He has made learning guitar fun and so spontaneous. I feel like being a star now, stringing the guitar like a Pro. Thank you Naveen Baloni for your patience with me and i absolutely admire your attention to details and detailing skills. You are also great at your vocals. I will highly recommend Naveen Baloni if anyone is looking for a Guitar Guru.
Before joining Naveen ji’s classes I thought online lessons were not a great option as they don’t have the touch and feel of reality. But I am happy to be proven wrong. He is meticulous, accommodates timing as per my convenience and has successfully made me addicted to the instrument. Grateful to have him as my teacher. Highly recommended!
Naveen is excellent at teaching. Dedicated to the job at hand, his lessons are structured properly to take you through the learning curve without too much struggle. He pays attention to your mistakes and has unending patience. Although I am learning online, it's a much better experience than I'd have had in offline/group learning anywhere else. I have been his student for 2 years, and I can say that he is consistent in all the above qualities still.
Naveen sir is an extremely patient and great teacher. I came as a beginner, and he helped me to improve my guitar skills to a new level. Learned solos, rhythm, and many more guitar techniques and nuances. He improved my vocals and taught me how to sing with guitar simultaneously. I am still learning under his guidance and looking forward to learning many things. He is highly recommended.
