Explore the beautiful world of sitar through the rich traditions of Indian classical music. With 13 years of musical experience and formal training in sitar, I combine traditional techniques with an understanding of Western musical concepts to make learning engaging, practical, and enjoyable for students of all levels.

In this course, you will learn sitar fundamentals, proper posture, finger techniques, strokes, melodies, different scales, ragas, talas, alaps, and musical compositions. You will also develop an understanding of rhythm, melody, improvisation, and essential music theory.

To make learning more interesting, I include a touch of vocal training to improve pitch, listening skills, ear training, and musical expression. My teaching approach focuses on building a strong foundation, developing creativity, and helping students play confidently.

I also recommend useful practice tools and techniques to support regular practice and steady progress. Whether you are a beginner or wish to deepen your musical understanding, this course will guide you on your sitar journey.
