I have been awarded a 'B High' grade for Hindustani Classical Instrumental music, a significant milestone in my journey as an artist.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e3f036c1-4e97-447f-b0e7-5e85616f567e) ## About Recognition & Milestones Getting my B-High grade from All India Radio in my first attempt was a moment of deep gratitude. For me, this recognition is a validation of the rigorous riyaz and the traditional training passed down to me by my appa, and it sets a standard I strive to maintain in every performance. My musical identity is deeply anchored in the Faroukhabad Gharana, known for its expressive, detailed approach to the tabla. The process of auditioning for Prasar Bharati was demanding; it required absolute precision in tala structures, complex tihai calculations, and a purity of sound that can only come from years of dedicated practice. This certification is a significant milestone, but it really serves as a waypoint in a much longer, lifelong pursuit of rhythm. Whether I am preparing for a formal concert-grade recital in a large auditorium or setting up for an intimate baithak in a drawing room, the discipline demanded by the AIR audition process remains the baseline for my work. It is not just about passing an exam, but about respecting the art form and the lineage I carry. I share this milestone as a reflection of the constant refinement that happens during my daily sessions in Bengaluru, hoping that it gives you a sense of the technical commitment I bring when I play for your events. ## About Roopak Kallurkar I'm Roopak. Growing up, the tabla was always around, as my father and guru, Pt. Rajgopal Kallurkar, made sure of that. My music is my way of sharing the calm and energy I find in rhythm, whether I'm performing a solo recital or collaborating with fellow artists.
