Maadhavi - Get to know your vocal coach

Hello, I’m Maadhavi! I'm a tertiary-educated vocal instructor with over 15 years of experience and vocal training. I offer lessons in classical and various contemporary vocal styles, including opera, jazz, pop, Funk, Rock, and more. My specialties range from Music Theory, Composition, Vocal training, and Music Production (Logic Pro). With a focus on vocal training, I aim to help students enhance their skills, whether it be for live performance, studio, and playback singing, or simply to build confidence! I’ve worked with students of all ages and love helping each one find confidence and expression in their voice. My approach combines solid technique with emotional connection, and I aim to make every lesson supportive, engaging, and tailored to the individual. I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and helping others grow as vocalists. Let's hit the right note together and unlock your full vocal potential!

Singing lessons highlights

I'm a patient, attentive, and highly adaptive vocal instructor who truly believes that no two voices—or learners—are the same. My teaching philosophy is centered around the idea that each student brings their strengths, challenges, musical preferences, and personal goals into the lesson space. Because of that, I make it a priority to tailor every lesson to the individual. Whether you're a beginner learning foundational techniques or a more experienced singer refining expression and control, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in developing your voice in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. I draw from over 15 years of vocal training across opera, contemporary, and Indian classical music, and I combine that technical foundation with a warm, encouraging energy that helps students feel safe to explore, take risks, and ask questions. I focus on helping students build both control and confidence, emphasizing healthy technique, breath work, tone development, and emotional connection. But just as importantly, I try to ensure that every lesson remains enjoyable and engaging. I want my students to look forward to their practice, to be excited by their progress, and to walk away from each session feeling empowered and inspired. As someone who has taught students of different ages, styles, and levels, I understand that flexibility and communication are key. My goal is not to fit students into a set curriculum, but to help them shape their journey with the tools, insight, and encouragement they need to grow as vocalists
