About A Glimpse into Our Classes

The classes are structured around the traditional baithak style, with students seated on floor rugs to maintain the authentic posture required for proper sitar resonance. Whether you join for the weekly group sessions in Bandra or the personalized one-on-one coaching in Kandivali, you will be learning specific techniques like krintan and gamak directly under my guidance, rather than just following a standard syllabus.

For me, the sitar is an extension of the soul, and teaching is simply the way I pass that gift to the next generation. I see my students not just as learners, but as fellow travellers on this musical path, and I take pride in ensuring they get the same foundational knowledge that my gurus shared with me.
