Getting Ready

Online Classroom Requirements

To ensure the highest quality of audio and clear feedback during vocal training sessions, we recommend students prepare the following setup:

  • Stable Internet Connection

    A minimum of 5 Mbps upload/download speed for seamless video and low-latency audio transmission.

  • Webcam-enabled Device

    A laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. Visual feedback is crucial for correcting sitting posture and breathing methods.

  • Headphones or Earphones

    Essential to prevent echo and feedback loops during live sessions, ensuring you hear the Tanpura clearly.

  • Electronic Tanpura App

    Apps like iShala, Tanpura Droid, or a physical electronic Tanpura configured to your vocal scale.

  • Quiet & Distraction-free Space

    A peaceful environment allows you to sing freely without external noises interfering with your microphone.
