About Vocal Coaching
I’m a singer first, vocal coach second - and honestly, for me, music is about feeling something way more than just hitting the right notes. If you’re looking to dive into singing with all its emotions, quirks, and surprises, you’ll probably vibe with my classes.
What My Classes Are Like
- We focus a lot on Western contemporary vocal training - think Pop, Soul, Jazz, Blues, Indie. That’s my world.
- Not just singing the lines - we dig into song interpretation techniques so you can make a song actually feel like yours.
- Explore vocal tones, harmonies, runs, even some thoda (a little) jazz scatting if you’re up for it. I love seeing people try new stuff with their voice.
- If you want to try for Trinity Rock & Pop exams, I’ve been through it myself and coach students for it too.
- Classes are for anyone from first-timers to folks who’ve sung a bit before. No one’s judging here.
My Approach
- Everything’s online, super chill, and honestly just about helping you find your sound.
- I keep things real - I’m not the “perfect” teacher, but I bring experience from gigging, recording, and even those not-so-glam moments from being in a band.
- We laugh, we mess up, we keep going. That’s singing.
If you’re looking for online singing lessons for beginners or just want to get more real with your voice, let’s jam.

My Story
Hey, I’m Pratika. I sing, I teach, I play. Just landed in Mumbai, chasing the music dream, you know how it goes. Started teaching vocals kinda by accident, no fancy Western training, just learning as I go. Took the Trinity exams to help my students out. Online classes during lockdown, told my folks I was new, we learnt together. Four years in, it’s wild how much joy singing brings, both ways. Still figuring it out, loving every moment.
