Misc. Info: Looking for serious students who want to make space for the sitar in their routine. Prior musical experi­ence is not required, but dedication is. I welcome new students at all levels.  In my 15+ years of teaching I have developed a method that uses the Traditional Indian Clas­sical learn­ing process augmented by recent develop­ments in the fields of education and brain science.  COVID19 has shifted most of my teaching online.  Learning online allows us to connect more often and more regularly, saving you travel time and energy, which you can spend instead on your sitar practice.  Dedicated student of Ustad Usman Khan of Pune, India for the past 20+ years.  M.Ed from UI Chicago.
