My classes are on weekday evenings and weekend mornings.
I am giving lessons for the last several years. I am also interested in having classes elsewhere, depending on student strength.
My students learn the basics of vocal music- swars, sargams and songs. My students have a good understanding of Sur, Taal and Lay/Laya- the 3 basic elements of music.
I teach with the help of my key-board. My students learn to play the harmonium/keyboard with the help of notations provided to them, they have a good grasp of 'taal/laya' with the help of my electronic 'tabla'. My students also develop a good sense of 'Sur' by learning to play the harmonium themselves and with the accompaniment of my electronic 'tanpura'.
I have rendered solo and duet performances with my sister, in several places in US and India. Basically I performed Bengali Rabindrasangeet, Nazrulgeeti and Hindi Bhajans with great appreciation.
Music background:
My love for music was seen at a very tender age, imbibed in me by my family- my parents. I started learning music from several gurus in India. For a prolonged period I learnt North Indian Classical Music, graduated B.Muse (Bachelor in Music) from Allahabad Board of Music, under the curriculum of 'Prayag Sangeet Samiti.' I graduated in both Classical and Rabindrasangeet with distinctions.
