Vishala is a highly trained classical vocalist and educator, as well as an extremely passionate advocate for the transformative power of music. As co-founder of The Sound Space, she is dedicated to making music education accessible and impactful, especially for underserved communities.
Trained under legendary gurus like Pandit Dinkar Kaikini and Pandit Dhruba Ghosh, Vishala holds a Visharad degree in Indian classical music from Lucknow University and a degree in Psychology a combination that shapes her unique, holistic teaching approach.
