Begin your musical journey at The Pink Lotus Academia. Whether you are picking up the sitar for the first time or looking to refine your technique, I offer structured, supportive classes to guide your progress.

An invitation to begin your journey with the sitar at The Pink Lotus Academia. I provide structured lessons for all levels, available both online and in-person, to guide you in your musical sadhana.

My philosophy as a mentor is simple: when a teacher believes in a student's ability, success is more likely. This image captures a moment from a one-on-one class, reflecting the focused, supportive environment I strive to create for every learner.

In our upcoming workshop, we will focus on a key concept: bringing 'vazan' or weight into your right-hand strokes. This video gives a brief demonstration of the techniques we will explore to help you develop a deeper, more resonant sound.

About Sitar Classes & Workshops

A common hurdle for many students is finding the right 'vazan' or weight in their right-hand strokes. In our sessions, we move beyond just reading notes, focusing on the mechanics of your hand placement to ensure every stroke carries depth and resonance. This is not about playing faster, but playing with the correct soul and tension that defines the sitar's unique sound.

Another angle from our special Bijoya gathering. The informal setting of a home allows for a relaxed and comfortable learning environment, which is very important in the Guru-Shishya tradition.
