I have been learning with Ranjitha for just under a year. What is most unique about learning with her is the trust she places in my creative ability and the freedom to explore it. There is no doubt about her commitment to the art which is truly inspiring, but she also comes with incredible humility that makes her approachable. I would recommend her to anyone interested in classical music at any stage of their learning.

Ranjitha Akka is an exceptional Hindustani classical music teacher whose profound knowledge of this art form has been truly inspiring. Her teaching style is patient and methodical, ensuring that each concept is clearly understood and beautifully internalised. Ranjitha Akka balances tradition and modernity, encouraging me to grasp the depth of Hindustani music while exploring its nuances. As someone also learning Carnatic classical music, I particularly value her insights into how both styles complement and differ from each other. Her ability to explain the uniqueness of each raag and its emotional essence has significantly deepened my appreciation for Indian classical music. Under her guidance, my musical journey has flourished, and I am immensely grateful for her dedication and expertise.

Learning Hindustani Music from my guru, Ranjitha, is wonderfully rewarding and refreshing. The way my guru delivers her lessons is almost in a poetic form, in which she incorporates explanations of each Raag, mood of the raag, placement of swaras, and all the technicalities combined. She teaches me techniques to strengthen my voice, develop different ways of singing and never fails to encourage me in exploring my own voice. Every lesson is melodious, calming, enriching and informative, with challenges, new lessons and exercises. I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to be under the guidance and teaching of Ranjitha, who always uplifts me as an individual and has given me great exposure to the beautiful world of Hindustani Music.
