About Anjana
I am an AIR graded artist, performer and teacher of Dhrupad, the oldest form of North Indian Classical Music. I have been learning and practicing Dhrupad since 2014 in the Dagar Vani style. I received my training for 7 years as a full-time student in Dhrupad Sansthan, Bhopal. I also held the position of an assistant teacher in the year 2019/20. I'm also a gold medalist in MA music (Dhrupad) from Shramjeevi College (Rajasthan University), Udaipur. Prior to my formal education in music, I also trained in the basics of both Carnatic music and Khayal which provided the foundation required for life as a full-time musician/singer/performer. Some of my notable performances have been in IIT - Chennai, Dehradun Town Hall ae Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal Using the foundational aspects of pitch and intonation found in Indian Classical music, I help people from all backgrounds to unlock their true voice and potential. I give personalized lessons to each student based on their voice and aspirations.

I invest considerable time and effort to understand the student at a personal level and their musical goals which helps in formulating an individualized curriculum. I believe that to cultivate and develop one's singing voice, it is essential to understand one's true nature as the body is the instrument for the voice. Hence, I focus on a holistic approach to working on the voice. I give a lot of importance to getting the basics right. I teach the foundational aspects (alankaars and paltas) of Indian classical music in great detail with attention to nuances and expression. Once, the foundation is established, I move on to raag based exploration in the Dhrupad (dagar vani) style of Indian Classical Music. We'll go into very detailed development of raagas based on this very ancient system. For those wanting to learn Bollywood/Light classical -Bhajans/Ghazals, I teach the basics of Indian Classical and its application in Film music/light music. Ultimately my goal is to help the student discover and hone their voice and sing to the best of their ability.

Perfect! Anjana has been a wonderful teacher, and is clearly very knowledgeable and professional. Her classes seem very well tailored to the individual student’s interests and needs. I really enjoy our classes and feel like I’m discovering a deep love of dhrupad the more I get to know it. As long as Anjana is teaching I'd love to keep studying with her

Perfect! Anjana’s teaching is terrific. She has a patient and understanding nature good for a beginner.
Lessons are structured and paced at a level to suit me at my beginner level, I feel myself progressing and understanding how to sing with melody and the right pitch.
It’s clear Anjana is highly knowledgeable, can spot reasons why I might sing off-key and provide effective exercises to overcome this.

I take online classes from Anjana sometime, she is patient and very good at teaching. also it was so easy to do online, high recommend her!
Anjana is an excellent teacher! She is kind and patient, and yet does not hesitate to let me know when I am out of tune or need to refine my vocal technique or tuning. Her deep understanding of music in general, and Dhrupad in particular, enables her to make a complex musical practice accessible to a beginning foreign student like myself. I highly recommend studying with Anjana!
Anjana ji brought the serious and fun together for reigniting my son's interest in learning Hindustani Classical (Vocal). She is smooth with children, has a great voice herself, and is focused on strengthening the fundamentals first.
Anjana clearly has a connection to the music. It is because of Anjana’s strong personal practice in Dhrupad that she makes an amazing teacher. I am a beginner studying this music and Anjana was very patient and informative when working with me. I highly recommend her lessons!!
Anjana is a great teacher. She is an expert in Dhrupad vocal music and she is very talented for performance also.
She is extremely precise with microtuning in ragas and very skillful in voice technique for singing.
She has a strong sense of responsability for the growth of her students, so she pushes you in a gentle manner to continue improving. She has a lot of empathy and pacience with her students so I'm feeling very confortable learning with her.Brilliant and excellent teacher, super friendly and very helpful in guiding you to the right direction.
I had the chance to be taught Dhrupad by Anjana few month ago, she is very knowledgeable about the culture of the voice, how to get to the proper "Dhrupad voice" was clearly and patiently demonstrated during our sessions.
She also know a lot about the differents raags identities and how to slowly and carefully reveal them through sound.
Her knowledge and experience is very valuable and I will come back to her teaching whenever the opportunity will present itself again.Anjana has a spotless character, clean, sober and proper presence as a human being. She desplays the undestanding and caring attention for the needs of the students while she would carefully and in details observe their performance in the process of learning. She would educate you in the finest nuances of the sound with her deep listening and discriminating ability as a teacher, then would present the correct sound with professional patience as many times as needed for you to learn to also discriminate the correct one. She is refined and delicate yet strong in her performence as a singer. She brings the Dhrupad energy into the heart of the listener. I liked her as a teacher and felt supported and critically heard at the same time. Thank you, Anjana, for your teachings!
I have worked with Anjana for many years. She teaches with patience, compassion and a thorough understanding of her subject. She has also worked with many of my students and they look forward eagerly to her lessons.
I would highly recommend Anjana Iyer as music teacher. She is well reputed and highly experienced in the field of Indian classical music and dhrupad. She has amazing voice culture well versed with all the vocal technicality and unique teaching style. I started learning from her from the very first begginning with absouletely no knowledge in music and used to messed up with( paltas and ragas) but the ease of comfort and confidence she gave i started grasping each and every nuance easily. She has great knowledge of breathing techniques and voice production, InitialIy i used to have breathing problem during singing , she made be do some breathing exercises which really helped. She is absouletely passoniate about teaching music which reflects in her teaching methology. She catches your weakness easily.
Anjana is a highly experienced teacher whose technique is easily transferred to the student. As a student myself I have been impressed with the pace of her teaching- she walks alongside you as you learn.She is always able to offer new methods and support, and as you work with her your voice becomes the strong, competent singing voice you've always wanted.
Anjana is absolutely brilliant vocal couch. She has unique skills for teaching voice generation and everything about dhrupad. Every single class with her has been full of discoveries, inspiring me to delve deeper!
Anjana is an amazing teacher the way she teaches and sees how to make improvement on the singing and voice. I have improved my understanding and technique on voice and with Dhrupad and on Ragas with her classes . I would reccomend her to all who wants to get into the depths of singing and Indian classical music.
Anjana ma'am has very unique style of teaching. To develop the whole range of our voice, she gives many tips and demonstrations. She is very patient when it comes to improvements and weeknesses. Anjana ma'am also makes technical aspects of signing very easy and comprehensible. She is also very reachable when it comes to daily riyaaz and suggestions. I am lucky to have Anjana ma'am as my singing guru.
