Hello! I am a Hindustani Classical musician and teacher, specialising in Vocal and Bansuri (Flute), with a long and disciplined training rooted in the Guru–Shishya Parampara. My journey in Indian classical music began at a very early age, and I have undergone nearly two decades of rigorous training in Hindustani Classical Vocal under Pt. Pranay Pathak of the Bishnupur Gharana, where I developed a strong foundation in raga, voice culture, sur–laya control, and classical aesthetics. Alongside vocal training, I completed Junior and Senior Diplomas in Nazrul Geeti with distinction, which refined my sense of melody, expression, and lyrical interpretation. My instrumental journey later expanded into Indian Classical Flute (Bansuri), and I trained under Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia and his senior disciples—Santosh Sant, Sameer Rao, and Rupak Kulkarni—of the Maihar Gharana, through the Vrindaban Gurukul, Bhubaneswar, where I continue my advanced training. As a performing musician, I have appeared at reputed venues such as Rabindra Sadan, Nazrul Mancha, Netaji Indoor Stadium, and major cultural platforms at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras. I have also served as the primary flutist of the Eastern Technology Music Society (ETMS), IIT Kharagpur, and my work has been recognised through awards at Inter-IIT Cultural Meets. In my teaching, I follow a structured, methodical, and student-centric approach, focusing on the essential elements of Hindustani Classical music—sur, laya, voice culture, breath control, raga development, bandish, layakari, and musical expression. For Bansuri students, I emphasise tone production, fingering technique, meend, gamak, murki, and raga-based improvisation. Lessons are carefully designed according to the student’s age, level, and goals, whether the learner is a beginner, an intermediate student, or preparing for performances and auditions. I maintain a calm, focused, and encouraging learning environment where traditional values meet modern online teaching. If you are seeking authentic Hindustani Classical training with depth, discipline, and clarity in Vocal or Bansuri, I would be glad to guide you on your musical journey.
