Hear From The Students
Himanshuji is not only a knowledgeable and skilled musician but also a highly passionate teacher. He pays a lot of attention understanding each student, recognizes the individual needs and then teaches them what they need to learn.
He taught me by physically helping me place each finger on the Bansuri the right way for every single note to correct my flawed fingering technique. The outcome is far better tonal quality and ease of playing. Thank you, Himanshuji for helping me with this transformation.

"No matter how many students sit in front of him. He always pays attention to each and every one. I have never felt that I have been ignored through my 5 years of musical journey with Bhaiya. Most of the time he helps me to identify my blocks and come out on my own. There is a quote "Good teacher always tell where to look not what to look". I am lucky enough that I found him and he has accepted me as a student."
