About Bansuri Bliss Founder Dr. Kerry Kriger
I began playing the bansuri (bamboo flute from northern India) in 1996 and have been fortunate to study, rehearse, perform and record with some amazing musicians from all over the world — including one of India’s greatest flute masters, Pandit Vijay Raghav Rao, who taught me most of what I know about the bansuri and Indian classical music.
I have taught hundreds of bansuri players from an array of backgrounds and cultures, including young kids, retirees, absolute beginners and professional musicians. Whatever your musical experience is, I am certain that you will succeed on your bansuri journey if you follow my advice and take advantage of the multitude of materials on this website.
I look forward to passing on the tradition and the bansuri knowledge to you!
