  • “I am very proud and happy to be studying at Artium Academy with my excellent teacher, Alwin Vargese. Even though he is from Kerala, he quickly listens to new Tamil songs and teaches them to me exactly as they were originally sung. He is extremely patient and works with me until I can sing correctly and confidently.”

    Aarya Chichria🇦🇺 Australia · March 2026Trustpilot
  • “My musical journey in popular Hindi music began nearly a year ago with my fantastic teacher, Suraksha Kumar. … Finding a good teacher solves half your problem. … I also started western singing classes with Vivaan, who taught me how to sing without straining my voice. The teachers and staff are experienced and supportive.”
    Priyanca Chauhan🇦🇺 Australia · August 2026Trustpilot
  • “The classes are very well structured and progress step by step, which is great for a beginner like me. My Teacher, Mansi Dhade ji, is absolutely awesome. … She gives personal, honest and at times constructive feedback on voice, pitch, and emotion in every class. Highly recommend Artium for anyone who wants to learn Hindi film music with understanding of sur, taal and basics of Hindustani classical music in a right way.”
    Nitin Rakshe🇦🇺 Australia · July 2026Trustpilot
  • “I am learning Hindustani classical from Neeladri Charles. He is an exceptional teacher. His knowledge of theory is amazing. … The other unique attribute is that he makes the effort to accommodate my times as I am overseas.”
