My musical journey

I learned my first three guitar chords at the age of 9 years, from my mother, started piano lessons from the age of 12 years, passed with distinction Grade 4 from the Trinity College of London while studying in class 9, in Mount Hermon School, Darjeeling. Was involved in inter-school, inter-house music competitions, and school choir all throughout my school. However, my interest in music stopped after pursuing science and further on, Dental studies from Govt, Dental College, and St. George Hospital, Mumbai, India.

In July 2011, moved to Kathmandu Nepal along with my Husband Gyan Lama, and our firstborn son Avishai, who was 3 months then. However, in 2015, after the major earthquake, we spent 3 months in my native land-Nagaland (Northeast India) where I got the chance to take a one-month crash course in Vocals and since then my love for singing has only gotten stronger.

With every little knowledge that I have about music(keyboard, vocals, guitar) it is my utmost joy, privilege, and responsibility to impart, instill, invest and encourage musical skills into my own children as well as the lives of every precious child/adult and to see to it that no one is robbed from his or her gift of music for every individual is born with a musical instrument – your vocal cords and the greatest gift of life is music. Let no one and nothing keep you away from your Life’s musical journey.

Testimonials

Chumlano ma'am is one of the best mentor I ever had. She is someone who looks beyond someones quality and makes us sing and do things outside our comfort zone which turns out to be advantageous to us later on. She encourages us in everything we do and treats us like her own children.

My favorite moment in music class was when we used to practice songs for our school choir. And whenever we mess up our performance our music teacher Mrs. Chumlano never said anything bad to us she always used to say that we can do better next time and this kept us going. I absolutely love her and she is my favorite teacher.

Having Mrs. Chumlano as our music teacher taught me that singing well requires patience and discipline, To think about others as a team while singing in the school choir has made me to understand that it is greater when we’re doing things together than individually
