Sacred Sounds — Sanskrit mantra chanting and Vedic recitation practice with Simona Apsarā
“mananāt trāyate iti mantraḥ” - That which protects (or saves) by constant contemplation is called a mantra.

A private and unique coaching in Sanskrit and Mantra chanting/singing tailored to your personal needs and search. This journey offers structured guidance on the pronunciation, meaning, and chanting of sacred sounds while deeply immersing yourself in the understanding of Indian philosophy and esoteric meaning.

Some of the topics that could be covered during the sessions*:

  • Voice intonation (with a chosen instrument if you wish to combine)
  • Correct pronunciation of Sanskrit sounds and awareness of resonating points in your body
  • Breath control
  • Brief mantras for a chosen deity
  • Some well-known mantras such as:
    • Gayatri

    • Shanti mantras
    • Healing mantras, etc.
  • Read and write Devanagari

Apart from the benefit of learning to chant Sanskrit the traditional way, you will also end up considerably enhancing your communication and speaking skills, as Sanskrit and Vedic mantras foster clarity and articulate speech.

Teachers of yoga, mantra, and meditation, those who offer sound healing sessions and want to integrate mantras, leaders of Kirtan devotional singing  can gain unique guidance and benefits from this coaching.

Kind words from my students

Having studied with many teachers over the last decades, I can say without exaggeration that Simona´s depth is exceptional. Whether it is her musicality, her skill, or the breath of theory and philosophical dimensions, she is an integrator. Importantly, it is her own authentic connection to music and its many dimensions that is evident and powerful. Simona does not merely explain or instruct, she exemplifies by embodying, by living the teachings herself. This continues to infuse each lesson with new sparks of inspiration and joy, while always meeting me where I am. Maybe one of her rarest gifts is the remembering of what has been dismembered, by the overly technical, heady approaches to music of the West. Something that unfortunately too many of us have been objected to and confused by. Having been one of those, I may recommend her especially to those who are not simply looking to learn music, but to those who wish to (re-)connect with music in ways that are more natural, deeper, and personally meaningful at its roots.

I want to say thank you from my heart. ❤️ After just three vocal classes, I can already feel a real shift. My vocal range is opening, tones feel freer, and most of all, my confidence with my own voice is growing. Your way of teaching feels so clear, supportive, and grounded. Each session creates a safe space where I can explore, trust, and truly connect with my voice. It’s not just about technique - it’s about expression, presence, and allowing the voice to unfold naturally. I’m deeply grateful for this journey and excited to see how much more will open along the way. With love 🤍

With her breadth and depth of knowledge across Indian spiritual traditions, through sanskrit, mantras, vedas, and dhrupad, Simona introduced and guided me through this deep and complex space. On top of which her warm presence makes every class a treat.
Victor, Singapore
Simona is a professional and passionate teacher of Dhrupad singing and Vedic chanting. She transmits her knowledge with ease and makes you feel comfortable, even if you have no musical background. The course I joined was fun and full of insights about Indian philosophy, culture, and, of course, music.
Ivana, Italy
I absolutely love my sessions with Simona. She is so much more than just a vocal coach. The presence and being-ness she brings to our sessions is so palpable and touches me deeply every time. Whether it’s the singing practice itself, her knowledge about the western approach to music or her embodied wisdom of the ancient and mystical Indian approaches to music, there is always something new to discover! I’m glad to be on this journey with Simona and would recommend her to anyone wanting to explore the essence of music, sound and the nature of the universe.
Marian, Germany
I’ve been taking private classes with Simona for the past 2 years now and have noticed significant improvements with my voice. She taught me lots of useful exercises and routines to work on the range and clarity of my voice. She always shares interesting stories about Hindustani music, Mantras, Ragas - very happy to have such a knowledgeable teacher and can highly recommend taking classes with her!

Hi, I’m Simona Apsarā.

I’m a vocalist, mentor, and practitioner devoted to voice and sacred sound. Rooted in the Dhrupad tradition and living wisdom lineages of India, I guide students to rediscover their own voice - its freedom, resonance, and expression.

While I hold academic degrees in Indian Classical Music, Jazz, and Indology, the true foundation of my work comes from lived study in India, years of practice, sādhana, and guidance from teachers within Dhrupad and Indian philosophy.

My work bridges East and West, making these teachings accessible and embodied. I share them as living practice, inviting voice to become a path of awareness, devotion, and inner clarity.
