About Music Education Programs

I see music as much more than performance. For me, it’s a way to connect kids to their roots and give them something truly valuable for life. The dream? Every child gets to experience music, no matter if they become a professional or just carry the joy with them.

Why Sangeet4All Stands Out

• First-ever structured Indian music curriculum for schools, right from nursery to high school
• Simple, stepwise lessons that keep the fun alive while actually learning
• Tried and tested in schools like Goenka, Blue Bells, and even in UNESCO and government-aided schools
• We adapt - in Odisha, for example, we blended local tribal songs right into the classes (bachchon ko apni bhasha mein gaane ka maza hi alag hai - there’s a special joy in singing in your own language)
• The whole idea is to bring holistic child development through music, not just rote learning tunes

What I Do in Schools and Colleges

• Special classroom music workshops in India - I use sitar performances, stories, and a bit of history to make Indian classical music click with students
• These aren’t boring lectures - I mix in lecdems, where kids can actually see how music is played, ask questions, and even try a hand themselves

Teaching, From Babies to Masterclasses

• Started with lullabies for my own son - by age two he knew 20+ ragas!
• For young musicians, I offer deep-dive masterclasses rooted in the Guru-Shishya Parampara (think: learning with heart, not just notes on a page)
• Passing on the Maihar parampara is personal for me, and every student is part of that journey

The Foundation

• All my work runs through our foundation, supporting scholarships and awards for budding and senior artists so this tradition keeps going strong

If you want kids to know more than just textbook music, this is where it starts.
