I focus on making Carnatic music accessible, so we often sit on the floor in a traditional ensemble setup to really feel the rhythm. Just bring your curiosity, as I will guide you through the basics of the veena and ensemble synchronization in a comfortable, group-oriented space. My workshops are designed to strip away the intimidation that often surrounds classical music. I have developed these sessions at the Tarangini Arts Foundation to focus on the joy of collective learning. Whether we are preparing for a large production like the 50-member Meera Tarangini ensemble or conducting a smaller, focused session, the goal remains the same: to get you playing. We cover everything from fundamental fingering techniques and gamakas to ensemble synchronization and improvisation basics. You do not need a formal background to start, as I break down complex concepts into simple, manageable pieces. For those attending our masterclasses, we provide a senior disciple to assist with tuning and posture correction, ensuring you get individual attention even in a group setting. It is always a pleasure to see students who start in these workshops eventually go on to explore their own musical paths. The workshops typically require a venue with carpeted flooring to allow for our traditional seating arrangement. We provide all the necessary musical notation digitally a week in advance so you can come prepared. If you have been looking for an honest, hands-on way to connect with Carnatic music, I would love to have you join us. ## About Suma Sudhindra I am Suma, and I believe music is for everyone. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced player, my goal is to get you playing and feeling the music in a way that feels natural and fun.
