Dear all,

I gained my music knowledge from my mother who had 10 years of experience in Karnatic Music. Later during my college studies at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, I had represented the college team and had won so many prizes in the state level intercollegiate functions. Subsequently, I was asked to be a member of a professional orchestra by one of the Juries of such state level competitions and I worked as a part time as well as a full time Guitarist for more then 20 years. I had worked with so many cine playback singers. As such, in order to make so many people aware of music, I wanted to conduct music classes and I have been doing so by teaching Guitar in some private institutes for more than seven years. But now, I have started Guitar classes of my own at Vadavalli on all Sunday mornings and I assure that you can acquire a good knowledge of music from me.

Even though I conduct classes only for guitar, I know to play key board also and a plan is there to start key board classes also in the near future.
