Sitar Lessons

I teach sitar for students of all ages giving strong emphasis on posture, and technique. I teach Indian classical music, and focus on the study of Ragas (Melodic forms) and Talas (Rhythm cycles). I teach appropriate scale exercises, followed by various compositions and improvisational passages. I use Indian notation (Sargam) for reference, and also recommend that students video/audio record sections of the lessons as well. Indian classical music is taught in an oral tradition, and is generally learned by ear.

*I have sitars available for rent or purchase if interested.
