Join Us For Bansuri Bliss Office Hours!
Bansuri Bliss Office Hours are online sessions led by Dr. Kerry Kriger and his most advanced bansuri students. The goal is to give you the opportunity to show up, learn bansuri, enjoy some beautiful music. You will be able to ask your questions and get enlightened on all things bansuri. When you have an actual teacher, you will learn much faster and be a much more talented musician, and you will more rapidly achieve – and surpass – whatever musical goals you have set out for yourself.
The inaugural Bansuri Bliss Office Hours was held May 10th, 2022 and we are pleased to continue the sessions so as to spread the musical knowledge and inspire bansuri players to deepen their practice. Let’s play some bansuri together!

A Message For Beginner Bansuri Players
Written by Dr. Kerry Kriger prior to the August 2nd, 2022 Bansuri Bliss Office Hours session.
Over the years I have noticed that all bansuri players are beginners until they have dedicated time to learning bansuri in a formal manner. NOBODY is born with bansuri skills and certainly not Indian classical music skills. That means that you are in all likelihood a bansuri beginner (don’t worry, over 99% of bansuri players fall into this category!).
In an hour I will be teaching my 871st bansuri lesson since 2015. I’ve learned a few things about how to teach beginners over the years, so I hope you will take advantage of your good fortune to be able to attend our upcoming Bansuri Bliss Office Hours session, which is completely FREE.
All of our Bansuri Bliss Office Hours sessions are aimed at beginner bansuri players.
Last month we usually had THREE instructors present, and only a few students, meaning those who showed up got a lot of one-on-one time. And when it comes down to it, one-on-one time is what will take you most rapidly from where you are to where you want to be. And I can assure you that where you want to be will be a much more fulfilling place than where you are.
You can learn how to make a bansuri case right here and order yourself some Bansuri Bliss stickers right here!
