About Aravind
I am a dedicated Carnatic musician with 18 years of continuous, rigorous training and performance experience in Mridangam. Based in Chennai, the cultural hub of Carnatic music, I have a deep understanding of traditional teaching methodologies (Guru-Shishya parampara) combined with modern online delivery tools. My approach focuses on patience, technical perfection, and instilling a genuine love for the complex rhythmic structures of South Indian classical music.

I’ve known Aravind since 2018, when we worked together in the IT industry. He is not only a talented professional but, more importantly, a genuinely good human being—always helpful, humble, and ready to support others.
Recently, I got to hear him play the Mridangam, and I was truly amazed. He is a multi-talented person, and his music comes from deep within. His rhythm, timing, control, and passion for the instrument are clearly evident in every beat.
What makes him special is that he doesn’t just play the Mridangam—he feels the music and brings it alive. His dedication, discipline, and love for Carnatic music are inspiring.
Wishing you many more wonderful musical journeys, Aravind! Keep rocking and continue inspiring and creating many more rocking stars like you! All the very best!I've known Aravind since childhood and I can proudly say that he is a great artist, he plays mrudangam amazingly and that he is a very hard working person. He is an enthusiast and loves his work.
He is a great teacher and you can gladly, without any doubt join his classes. Highly recommend if you are willing to learn and improve your skills. He also speaks German and other languages, which is an added advantage.Super Aravind, I wish you get many opportunities to prove your full potential. God bless you to grow high in music world.
I first met him in a temple in Berlin, Germany. Since I’m a singer, we connected naturally. I’ve also performed in temples with him playing mrdangam. Practicing and performing with him was an opportunity for me that helped in improving my singing skills. I’ve attended concerts where he played with one of the renowned scholars, Maanikkam Yogeswaran. In addition to mrdangam, he also plays cajón. With experience performing alongside artists from many genres, he can teach how to stay in sync with singers and other instrumentalists across different musical styles.
Aravind is a wonderful percussion teacher who makes every lesson engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow. He is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about music. His ability to explain techniques clearly while motivating students to improve makes learning with him a great experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn percussion from a dedicated and talented teacher!
