Teaching & Mentoring
Namaste everyone, I am Rajeswari Swaminathan. I have completed my graduation from the renowned Kalakshetra Foundation, a prestigious institution for classical arts. I am a dedicated Carnatic music teacher and performing artist with a strong classical foundation and over 16 years of professional teaching experience. Trained from childhood under distinguished gurus including Dr. Sri Lalitha Rukmani, Hariprasad, and Pakalaramadas, I bring deep expertise in Carnatic vocal training, voice culture, and performance techniques.
Proficient in Carnatic classical vocal, Carnatic light music, Bhajans, and Shlokas, I have successfully trained students from beginner to advanced levels. I currently conduct live online classes for students across India and abroad, offering structured, traditional, and student-friendly training.
