About Hindustani Instrumental Music
Why I Teach Hindustani Instrumental Music
For me, music isn't just a class—it's a lifetime ka sadhana (dedicated journey). I see Hindustani instrumental music as a way to grow, both inside-out. Whether you're a total beginner or someone wanting to deepen their riyaz (practice), this journey asks for patience, but what you get back is so much more than just playing notes. Kids, adults, anyone with genuine interest is welcome.
How We Learn: Guru-Shishya Parampara
I follow the Guru-Shishya parampara (traditional teacher-student bond). It's not a crash course—it's more like a long-term mentorship. I guide you from your very first note to feeling the real mood behind a raga. Respect, discipline, and love for the art are big here.
What You Can Learn
- Sitar & Sarod: Taught in the Maihar Gharana style, focusing on clear technique and emotional expression.
- Flute (Bansuri): Beginners get extra help with breath and tone. We stick to the authentic style, keeping it real to its roots.
- Tabla: Starting from basic bols (syllables) and moving towards solo, accompaniment, and rhythm play.
The Learning Path
- Beginners: Basics like posture, paltas (exercises), pitch work.
- Next steps: Simple gats (compositions), then into aalap, jod, jhala.
- Advanced: Layakari (rhythm improvisation), understanding raag and taal deeply.
Real Practice, Real Music
Honestly, the real work is your own riyaz. I set the framework, but your effort shapes your music. We do regular baithak (casual concerts) where you get to perform with live tabla sangat (accompaniment). It's relaxed, no stress, but such a high when it clicks.

My Story
Sangeet Sadhana started from our founder’s living room, inspired by Kishori Tai’s words and Guru Dipali Nag’s legacy. Sixteen years later, we’re still a big family—students, teachers, parents, all in it together. We’re not just teaching ragas, we’re waking up the music inside you. Little kids, grown-ups, everyone finds their own tune here. Guru-Shishya parampara is our heartbeat—music is our way to connect, not just perform.
