Dr. Duvvuru earned a graduate degree in Carnatic Music in 2017 (India) and has taught Indian classical music for more than seven years. She has performed in the US and India, both on stage and virtually. Dr. Duvvuru’s goal is to bring voice culture into the training aspect of Carnatic music that would enable singers to learn the right technique and healthy use of voice.
