Genuine Client Reviews
Real testimonials from TripAdvisor and our performance clients worldwide.
"Vini is an excellent teacher, he is fun, enthusiastic and focused and he makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He is professional and patient. He is also an extremely accomplished musician, you must ask him to sing for you or to play you one of his wild drum solos. I was so impressed with his skill and his teaching ability that I am planning to arrange for him to visit my school in London to carry out music workshops with my pupils."
London, UK
"I have just spent two weeks learning the rudiments of Raga singing with Vini. We have had twice daily sessions of one hour each. I have to leave today but I am carrying with me both a restored sense of my connection to pure sound and a darling little travellers harmonium. Pushkar is a dream town with many hidden treasures. The Krishna music school is one of them. If your instincts guide your feet to this place, trust."

"Best tabla lessons I had in a long time. Vini is a great, loving and passionate teacher. Learn by the temple in a quiet and lovely atmosphere. I wish I could've spent more time taking class with him."
International Traveler
"I've had daily lessons with Vini for the week I've been in pushkar. He's great at teaching proper technique and good habits, he has a quality sense of humour and a fantastic attitude. Central location, excellent surroundings, great experience!"
Glasgow, UK
"Vini is a very dedicated teacher who I enjoyed learning for when I was in Pushkar. I only had one week, so he recommended two lessons a day for a deeper engagement in the basic techniques of Indian vocal music. His method for teaching was methodical and each day built on the last day. I was given his undivided attention for 1 hour each lesson and my voice improved with each lesson. An unexpected bonus: seeing that I had had some musical background already, and loved singing the Hanuman Chalisa, he proposed doing a recording with me. It was an honor, and I was amazed at how wonderfully he added his own vocal line to accompany mine. It was so much fun! His heart is in his teaching and in his music."
Solo Traveler, USA
"Now in to my second month of daily vocal and harmonium classes! Vini is really a great teacher, a very talented musician and not to mention a nice guy. The Dharamsala branch of the Krishna School of Music is led by accomplished tabla player and singer Vini Devdas, who was trained basically from birth by the main music and dance teacher in Pushkar. Highly recommended!"
