BANARAS MUSIC ACADEMY

Learning to play an instrument can be one of the best endeavors of a student’s life. The musical training will help the individual find success and personal growth throughout all avenues of his or her life—even more than the teacher can actually explain in words. We like to call playing an instrument a “practice,” just like one calls a spiritual activity, like meditation or chanting, a practice. You will discover how playing an instrument can quickly become your practice in life. Classes are taught in a traditional style with each instructor. Students will learn to speak (vocalize) the ragas (compositions) before they actually play them on their instruments like Tabla, Sitar, Sarod, Harmonium, Guitar, Violin or any of their preferred instruments. There is also a counting technique that aspiring students will learn that is critical to acquiring the foundation of classical and any other kind of music. Typically the teacher offers individual instruction, but can also take on a group of students for a larger workshop.

 

We always prefer to teach as Guru-Shishya Parampara style in Varanasi but also offers online (Skype) Group Workshops/Lactures/Individual classes.
