"For the past year or so in which I have been learning music from Ram sir at ambalam, he has not only helped increase my musical knowledge but he has also helped me fall in love with and appreciate the sound that is my voice. He is patient and helps us realise and correct our mistakes, and always explains the logic and reason behind everything in a way that we can understand and comprehend easily. I am incredibly grateful that i can call Ram sir my guru.”

"We feel truly grateful for the way T V Ramprasadh sir nurtures and guides Meenakshi. His care and dedication go far beyond teaching, he looks after his students almost like his own children, always keeping their learning at the centre while creating opportunities for growth and performance in an organic way.What stands out most is how he so thoughtfully adapts to each student while also challenging them to go beyond what we as parents could ever have imagined.

I have been learning a lot from his regular classes and also his musical workshops. He is an able teacher with a penchant towards teaching. My son who is 5 years now, started to learn from him since he was 3 years. The method and tactics he adopts to teach my little kid is something commendable. He teaches in a playful manner incorporating innovative teaching techniques tailor made for a three-year-old kid to learn complicated Carnatic Music with ease. He makes the classes a fun to learn sessions. He is a great teacher. Both me and my son are happy to be under his tutelage.”

"Namaste, I am Sowmya. Meeting Ramprasadh sir has positively impacted not just my singing but also my personality. When I first entered Ambalam about an year ago, I was anxious, but in that very class he said we were not just students but like their own children. His strictness is never harsh. It motivates us to work harder and do better every day. I’m truly grateful to sir and wish him a long, healthy, and fulfilling life!"

"I have been associated with Ambalam Foundation since the year 2013. Ambalam has been focusing on holistic learning of various art forms. Sri T V Ramprasadh, not only teaches music, but his approach makes us truly understand more than the art form. He teaches us to appreciate the beauty in nature, in being a good human, and surrendering to the Supreme. Ambalam strives to give back to the society and is taking music and dance to rural schools and needy children. I am proud to be associated with Ambalam."
