Mridangam

"My name is Dr Praveen Sudhindar based out of the United Kingdom. I have been learning Mridhangam from Guru gopinath for the last 8 months. Shri Gopinath is an excellent teacher and is extremely patient while making me understand the lessons. He is quite flexible with the timing of the lessons and I really appreciate him for keeping up with online lessons despite the time difference. He has helped me grow as a musician in a short span of time since I started learning and I highly recommend him for those who want to learn Mridangam in a professional way."

Konnakol

"I’m currently in class 10. Since one month, I am learning flute under the guidance of Gopi sir. I used to think that flute was a male dominated instrument and was hesitant to learn it at first. But sir treated me as equally as everyone and I’m very happy about it. He is very polite and teaches everything so patiently. The main fact is that sir teaches the swaras so perfectly. When I’d attended my first flute class it was very difficult for me to even get the blow. I was at the end of my patience and was going to give up soon. but it was sir who consistently kept correcting and motivating me. He takes doubts anytime and always rectifies our mistakes. My favorite part of learning is learning the Konakkol. Sir is so much experienced in Konakkol and his rhythms are so mesmerizing to hear! So for sure, if you wish to learn flute, you won’t get a better teacher than Gopi sir! Thank you so much sir. "

Drums

"My brother(9) and I(14) are taking online drums and konakkol classes from USA. We really like Mr. Gopinath's teaching! It has been very helpful to me and my brother. He teaches the drums in a fun and effective way because Mr Gopinath helps us understand everything even when we are having trouble. Me and my brother have learned many beats and styles to play drums. We have also learned a lot of konakkol from him. I have been learning with Mr Gopinath from when I started playing drums and konakkol and I am much better than I was before. "

Mridangam

"I connected with shri. Gopinath through urban pro to teach mridangam for my 9 yr old son and me. We are learning mridangam via online from hyderabad. His pace of class and instructions are at ease which helps not only my son even me at late 30s to learn this wonderful musical instrument. Though our journey started only 3 months back, from this short experience I'm confident we are in safe hands, not only to learn mridangam, also other percussion or musical instrument over period of time. His classes and voice notes even made my 5 year old daughter to learn konakol of mrindangam and she looks forward to learn new konakol lesson every week. His passion for teaching make us to not only learn but practice regularly. He pays individual attention and does personal follow-up via assignments to be completed in between weeks, which ensures learning are practised daily without fail. Thanks, mr. Gopinath ji and it's a pleasure to know you and hope to have long association in our music journey. "

Mridangam

"I am a student from USA who started learning Mridangam full time online from Gopinath sir couple of months ago. It has definitely been a wonderful journey so far. Based on my personal experience with Gopinath, he has both in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of Mridangam and konnakol. In fact, I was amazed to see his passion towards music in general. Specifically , I would like to mention that it has been very comfortable for me to communicate and share any feedbacks related to the lessons. As part of his classes, you will get all the notes in pdf along with the voice notes for the same. He also never hesitates to send a short video clip when needed for more clarity for certain lessons. Additionally, he does not rush into advanced lessons unless he feels the student has had enough practice and matches his expectations.He is also very encouraging and straightforward . Overall, I would strongly recommend Gopinath to be your guru if you are looking for an energetic and skilled music professional. "

Drums

"I am blessed with one such music teacher Mr Gopinath. He will never get tired while explaining to me. I am such a slow learner. He creates interest and makes me involve totally. The teaching method is also something unique initially I had that doubt how I can learn Drums that too through Skype class but from the very first class I got the answer for my doubt and I am improving now. The in-depth knowledge, passion, interest, dedication, the love for music and above all the patience I admire in my Guru Mr Gopinath. No wonder he is sure-handed. I am a gifted person to be his student. "

Mridangam

"It was only the Divine Blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and my Purva Janma Punya that I could come across my unique Mridangam Master and a multi-talented genius Sri Gopinath in UrbanPro. His reverence towards the instrument inspires me a lot. Being a Teacher myself, I really admire his appreciable teaching techniques and concern for his students. When I was searching for a suitable Mridangam Master, I really had fear that I could get into any commercial-minded Master who would overcharge me. But, it is only Divine Sankalpa that I could get Gopinath Master who is really student-minded and not money-minded at all. He takes utmost care that the student copies the notation and learns the Kunnakol perfectly. He has made my hands speak the voice of Mridangam. I am really feel proud about my progress in a short span of time. I would really recommend my Master Gopinath to whomever searching for a sincere and dedicated Mridangam Master. My deep sense of gratitude to Gopinath Master. "
