Get that Competitive Career Advantage
I have been a student of Kevin’s for the last 5 years. Each year, besides learning new popular songs, I have been able to give the TCL Level 1,2,3,4,5 exams and I am currently working on giving my 6th grade….Kevin simplifies music concepts, thus making it very simple & easy for a student to learn quickly.
I wish him all the success in this On-line venture, which I believe would go a long way in helping students who do not have access to a good music teacher or do not have time to go for face to face coaching BUT at the same time keen to learn Music and give International exams via self-paced coaching and from the comforts of their home and at their own convenient time.
Kevin has taught me the violin and has a rare knack of making complex playing techniques appear simple by breaking the procedure up into smaller understandable pieces.
Techniques like vibrato, bow control and concepts like scales and arpeggios for both major and minor scales, etc., has made me complete my TCL 6th Grade. With his mentoring, I am now more confident to achieve my music goals….I am excited to learn about this online venture.
Kevin follows a simplified and structured approach to teaching music.
He is able to look at a piece of music, understand the uniqueness of that piece and explain the theory of music behind that piece before going on to teach you How to play that piece.|
His patience and quest for perfection in teaching “How to play the music piece” is commendable and I am sure with this New On-line teaching Venture a lot of people would be able to benefit.

It started off in the church as a young boy of seven when he would accompany his sisters in the Adult Choir and to the amazement of the conductor, would pick up all the four voice parts so much so that he would be asked to sing and assist all the four voice parts of Soprano, Alto, Tenor & Bass.
Kevin started his musical career with Mini Beats - a dance band, in which he played the Bass Guitar and lead vocals for two years. After that, he formed his own band – ‘ECSTASY’ and played the lead guitar and was also the lead vocals. With the Band scene fading away due to time restrictions at the venues, Kevin focussed on his software business but as the need for music teachers increased, Kevin took up to training students on the Violin, Guitar & Vocals.
