Adish
(Vocalist of the band Doctor)
ASM was one of the roots of my journey in music. In simple words it taught me singing techniques that I didn’t even know existed. My learning experience in ASM really helped bring out the best in my passion for music. ASM was also the reason for me being able to achieve the island price for trinity rock and pop exams for 6 years in a row. None of this would have been possible if not for our absolutely amazing and wonderful Ms. Ashanthi de alwis. Anyways not much to say but just the best most fun and most recommended music school in Sri Lanka
Punara (Initial – Grade 8 Trinity Pop & Rock Exam student)
I would like to highly recommend Miss Ashanti’s school of music for anybody who’s interested in improving your vocal performances. Mr. Ashanti’s and the amazing staff’s ’ dedication towards teaching and maintaining a happy class room environment make the kids love learning music.I personally had so much fun being a student at ASM for many years as well as I was able to be a qualified singer with much needed performance experiences. Every student got individual attention though I was in a group class and she showed us the way to improve ourselves day by day. It was really fun to be a part of the ASM family….

I’ve been joining with the ASM for as long as I can remember now. Also, when I joined this, I did not have much faith in my singing ability. But during that time, I turned out so advanced in singing that I’ve been able to get to the knockouts round of The Voice Teens Sri Lanka International platform. I sincerely thank Miss Ashanthi De Alwis and all the teachers who gave me a hand throughout this progressive journey.

I would say the BEST choice my parents made was to enroll me at ASM. When i joined i was around 11 & I still remember Miss Ashanthi personally took me in for my audition. To be honest I was quite nervous because i had to perform in front of an icon & a mentor I look upto since i was young & i was a huge fan of Miss Ashanthi. I also used to imitate Miss Ashanthi how effortlessly she performed on stage. Love how she raps too & her voice. After my audition Miss Ashanthi highly complimented me & advised me on what areas I should improve in my vocals. The most unforgettable comment she gave my mom & dad was that she assured them that someday when I’m around 16 I will somehow make it to the music industry & that she too will guarantee that I will someday be a big Star ( (Still trying to work hard for it since my only dream since young is to be a professional singer locally & Internationally) I will never forget that valuable comment especially coming from Miss Ashanthi as I’m a huge fan since I was little. I’m glad I joined ASM as i learnt a lot. All the teachers are professional at ASM. Whoever who wants to pursue their dreams of becoming a singer don’t think twice about joining ASM. You will be glad for making the right decision. Thank You Miss for coaching me & for always guiding me with all the advice & vocal tips just before a performance!
