About Bansuri Bliss
Bansuri Bliss was founded by Dr. Kerry Kriger in 2017 with a goal of spreading north Indian classical music and knowledge related to the bansuri, a transverse (side-blown) bamboo flute. The Bansuri Bliss website is home to the most thorough collection of bansuri learning materials (video, audio and PDF tutorials) available anywhere. Over the course of 1,000+ live lessons (online and in-person), hundreds of students from around the world have learned the bansuri, north Indian ragas (melodies) and talas (rhythms) from Dr. Kriger and a variety of highly accomplished guest instructors.
The mission of Bansuri Bliss is to be the world’s premiere source of bansuri knowledge and inspiration.
From delivering enjoyable recordings, to live performances, lessons and travel experiences, Bansuri Bliss has you covered for all things bansuri.
A Brief History Of Bansuri Bliss
“I created the original indianflutemusic.com website in 2008. I didn’t send out an email newsletter for a couple more years. In 2013, I published my first YouTube video; I have since published over 100. On October 31st, 2017, I got serious and registered indianflutemusic.com as a business. I announced memberships and built a membership site with online courses in April 2018. In summer 2018, I realized Bansuri Bliss was a more appropriate name and made the official change.
In early 2020, I began teaching group lessons every weekend, usually every Saturday and Sunday. I’ve given private bansuri lessons to 140+ students, and have taught countless more through group lessons and my online videos. As of writing this, I’ve given over 1,000 bansuri lessons…more than a thousand hours spent with real students overcoming real problems and learning the most effective ways to transmit the classical music of northern India to any dedicated student.”
