Any Instrument 12:00-13:00
The Indian Music for Any Instrument classes offer students the opportunity to learn the theory and technique of Indian Music on any instrument, making this one of the most accessible and affordable ways of learning instrumental Indian music.

The beautiful North Indian dance form of Kathak is taught by Aditi Sen. She is a prominent dancer of the present generation in the realm of North Indian Classical Dance in India as well as abroad.
TablaTaught by Kousic Sen

Carnatic Vocal is an extremely popular art form learnt in India, particularly in the South. This class introduces students to the concepts of Raga and Tala – the basic fundamental training needed to learn any form of Indian classical music. Students will also learn about different patterns, rhythms and compositions used in Carnatic music. The class is taught by musician Madhu Tanjorkar, a talented vocalist and violinist who is expert in both Carnatic and Hindustani music.
Violin TBC
The Violin, much like Carnatic vocal, is played widely throughout South India. The use of the Violin in Indian music differs from its Western application in both technique and standard tuning, producing an entirely different sound. This class will also introduce the concepts of Raga and Tala, rhythmic patterns and compositions.
