What Learning Sitar With Me Feels Like

Teaching sitar is more like a swar yatra for me - a musical journey, not just some classes. I want you to feel the vibes of Hindustani sitar techniques while connecting to your own music story. We stick to Guru-Shishya sitar tradition (guru-disciple way), so I focus on sharing what my masters gave me, not just bookish gyaan.

How We Go About It

• We start with basics: sur (melody), taal (rhythm), laya (tempo) - all the core stuff of Indian classical music syllabus.
• Lessons follow a structure; good for clearing exams or just tracking your growth.
• You get to explore styles - classical, light, folk, film songs, even sitar fusion workshops if that’s your jam.
• Advanced students, we dig into raags, ornamentations like krintan, and gamak taan for that depth.

Classes, Workshops & Where You Can Join

• Regular sitar classes in Kandivali (East) and Bandra (West). Group or one-on-one, whatever works for you.
• Sometimes I run intensive workshops on specific sitar stuff - open for all ages.
• My academy invites legends for masterclasses, so you might learn from Padma Shri Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan or Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, not just me.
• If I’m performing internationally, I hold masterclasses for advanced players too.

Beyond Lessons: Your Stage

• Every Guru Purnima, my students perform at Guruvandan - real concert feels, not just a casual jam.
• If you’re ready, you might join Ravi Chary Sitar Symphony, my ensemble performing across India.

Music’s not just about practice - it’s about sharing, growing, and jamming together. If you’re keen, let’s see where the sitar can take you.
