Trained Indian classical music teacher & performer-composer, teaching raag music, singing, harmonium, tabla, bansuri, music theory and music appreciation.

Ashish is a true devotee to the art of learning, creating and teaching. This makes his teaching style far-reaching, thorough and encouraging. I've learned so much in a variety of topics from him that I don't think I'd otherwise be able to grasp. I highly recommend Ashish as a teacher who can guide you through learning with clarity and ease.

Ashish takes time to understand your requirement from the very start and tailors his each class to meet your need on your musical journey. I loved his classes.

Ashish San is a friend, philosopher and guide. His enthusiasm is contagious. His presence (online) is captivating. His talent is evident and his knowledge of the subject matter is deep. He teaches me 1 thing, and the way he teaches, I learn 10 more things from that. I share a spiritual bond with him that transcends human bondage. A relationship with him is something to cherish over life. He takes classical knowledge and presents it in a modern format which makes the subject matter relevant in cross-disciplines. He is patient, kind and funny, so the limited time I spend with him is not only valuable but also joyful. More power to him.

Ashish is both my brother as well as a tutor for me. He is an outstanding tutor for the simple reason that he begins teaching exactly from where the student is.
Ashish does not carry any preconceived notions of what a student 'should' know. Instead, he explores exactly what the student does know and then begins teaching from there.
Another and even more important thing is that he does not insist on the student being an ideal student. Whatever qualities you have, Ashish works with those. No if-you-dont-practice-for-4-hours-a-day-I'm-not-going-to-teach-you. Un huh. If you want to learn during lessons and not do any practice that's fine. Ashish will just go slowly. Work with what is, that's his moto.
The reason I feel that Ashish works this way, is that he has an unbound love for learning, coupled with a intrinsic disrespect for Authority with a capital A. That's why he never holds or presents himself as a Authority and yet manages to capture the imagination and interest of his students. As his student one comes away from his lessons with a feeling of having had fun. It's only in looking back that one realises how much one learnt as well. And this attitude crosses subjects. I've found learning medieval history from him, for example, as much fun as learning the harmonic series!
In short, if you would like to enjoy the process of learning as well as the outcome, I highly recommend you learn 'with' Ashish.
Cheers.
