About Your Instructor
A Life Dedicated to the Carnatic Flute
For over three decades, music has been the language through which I’ve expressed myself, taught, and connected with people. As a professional flautist, I have performed in 1,500+ concerts across India and abroad, bringing the soulful sound of the bamboo flute to audiences from small gatherings to grand stages.
But my true calling has been in teaching. What began as a passion to share my knowledge has now touched the lives of students in 20+ countries, across all age groups, from 10 to 55. Many of them started as complete beginners and today, they play confidently, carrying forward the tradition of Carnatic music.
