What My Fantastic Students Say :

Anya Tiwari (12 y/o, Pune) : Listening to music is like one of my favourite things and knowing how that music is being played using different instruments was something I found a lot of interest in. And that one instrument which really matched up my music taste is the Drums. Drums are known to be a very tough instrument but it indeed is very interesting and ever since my first class with Siddhi ma'am, every class is just so fun. The way she motivates me to do better if I make a mistake, points out the small improvements which I make sure to not repeat again! Before every class I am just filled with excitement to learn something new. This class was one of the best classes of the week! 1.07.2023

Ruchika Ojha (Mother of Kyna Ojha, Bangalore) : "We completed a 2 year musical journey with Siddhi and she has drawn the true potential of Kyna in every lesson making her fall in love with drumming every single time. Siddhi 's passion for music is contagious and her energy & enthusiasm has instilled in Kyna a fondness for music that will last a lifetime. Siddhi, thank you for sharing your gifts of music with my child." 2/06/2023

Surmai Nigam (Pune, 17 y/o) : Hi, I am Surmai, a drummer. I recently started learning percussion instruments (Cajon and Djembe) from Siddhi. It is so nice learning from her. She is really humble and professional when it comes to teaching, and tries to understand the student's perspective about music. The best thing I love about the class is the freedom to play the instrument my way and experiment as much as I want, and then she guides me likewise. Its learning and having fun at the same time. Thanks! 1.07.2023

Rajveer Phade (Pune, 3.6 y/o) : When I met siddhi after a long time, I got to know about her passion & love for Drums. I decided to send my child Rajveer phade to Drum class. I personally saw her taking so much effort for my child and trust me, teaching a 3.6 year old Music or Drums is not that easy. She started to slowly build his interest in music and this means she started knowing him - his liking, his fav music, etc. And as per his mood and liking, she started teaching him in a brilliant way. She has been very kind to my child, and my child also started gelling up with her. The most touching point for me was that Rajveer started missing his music class and siddhi ma'am. 19.06.2023

Neha Pareek (Chennai) : Siddhi, you make each class of ours so informative and fun! I am Neha pareek, a 31 year old educator from Bellary. I always wanted to learn drumming but never got the opportunity, until now. I bought my first drum kit in 2016 when I was working as a teacher in a private school, and that is when I joined Trinity, Kolkata. After that I moved to Bellary, and actively began looking for drum classes. And then I met you, and that's how I began chasing my dreams again. I enrolled myself in the Trinity center nearby where I could go and take my exams. Never thought online classes could be so fruitful. All thanks to you for encouraging me and telling me that music can be learnt at any age.

Saneel Waghode (Mumbai): It was fanboy moment for me to meet Siddhi! She's a drum mogul of the town. I got a better understanding of music and principles from her, acknowledging many things when I now practice. She's passionate about learning different instruments as well as teaching drums, and she's determined. Couldn't ask for a better drum teacher. I'm having a good time learning.

Ateesh Nandi (Bangalore) : Having taken Siddhi's class Ateesh Nandies for two months, I feel a lot more confident and in control while playing. My sense of time, understanding of drum theory and flow around the kit have significantly improved. Another key takeaway is the ability to practice in a structured manner. Thanks to her help, I am now able to challenge myself and get more out of every practice session! Would definitely recommend her lessons!

Vishal Dave (Pune) : Siddhi is an amazing teacher to say the least. She not only understands the student but also provides the correct environment and challenges for the student to grow. She always makes things so easy for anybody to understand. I have witnessed her taking up students that have no musical background and still make them turn out to be great artists / students. She is an amazing mixture of creativity, love for her music and an undying passion of bringing out the best in her students. She takes a very customised approach when it comes to explaining music to each student. The comfort level she shares with all her students is just mesmerizing and unbelievable. I have and always will be extremely grateful for the kind of teacher I have found. I thank you Siddhi for being so understanding, caring and just being the amazing teacher that you are. Ohh and before I forget she is just an amazing person overall. Thank you so much Siddhi, you are a rockstar.. all the best.
