Private Bansuri Lessons

Learn Online From The Comfort Of Your Own Home

The absolute best way to learn Indian classical music is through private, one-on-one lessons with a knowledgeable teacher. All the famous Indian classical musicians learned in this manner (the guru-shishya parampara).

While the internet provides a massive amount of Indian music knowledge through free videos, all that information is transmitted uni-directionally: from the teacher to the student, with virtually zero opportunity for the teacher to listen to the student play and provide critical feedback.

In a private lesson, you learn music catered to your personal needs and desires; and ​the teacher listens to your playing and corrects your errors and provides a multitude of ways for you to improve your playing. As such, private lessons are an essential component of ​reaching your musical potential.

A Note From A Student

“Just a note to say that I’ve started doing private lessons with Kerry and they’re the best thing. In just two classes he’s accelerated my learning and is, miracle of miracles, getting me to finally nail gamaks. If you’ve ever considered doing private classes with Kerry, I recommend you go for it!”
– Bansuri Bliss Member Chas Newkey-Burden, UK

My Commitment & Your Commitment

I love to give private lessons. But I only have so much time to give private lessons, given that:

– I have other musical commitments and interests;
– I direct a nonprofit (SAVE THE FROGS!) and a website development consultancy (Zero2Webmaster); and
– I like to exercise, spend time with family and friends, etc…

I am also not dependent on private lessons as my sole source of income, as I have other activities that are more financially productive.

I give private lessons primarily:
– As a service to dedicated students who want to learn; and
– To accomplish my dual goals of spreading the music and of creating students who play amazing bansuri.

As such, I have higher expectations of students who take private lessons than I do for those who solely attend group sessions or learn from my online materials. So if we embark on private lessons, please do your best to practice daily (the more, the better); and I’ll do my best to ensure your bansuri playing improves as rapidly as possible.

Summary:
I don’t have time to teach you if you don’t have time to practice…but I will make time to teach you if you make time to practice!

You will be receiving the knowledge passed down to me from my guru Pandit Vijay Raghav Rao, combined with a touch of my own teaching style acquired from having taught numerous students from a wide variety of musical backgrounds over the past decade.

You will become fully competent in reading and writing Indian classical music and will receive PDF’s of compositions and exercises that will keep you busy and provide you with enjoyable music to play for months, years and possibly decades to come.

Time Management

You’re too busy? We are all busy and we probably always will be. It’s a matter of where your priorities are and how intelligently you make use of your waking hours. I will provide time management advice and encouragement as needed and if requested.

What My Students Say

“As someone who has had the opportunity to engage in regular lessons with Kerry, I would like to express an unsolicited endorsement. The private lessons are invaluable in that Kerry can listen and see where you are, and then not only give feedback but target your practice for improvement in the next challenge in your bansuri growth. Highly recommended…”
William Sheldon
New York
“I did a lot of research, and for me, I thought you’d be great to learn from because you seemed very passionate about bansuri. You also have a westernized approach to teaching as you can explain things simply, succinctly and in an engaging way.”
Bansuri Student Akshay S​.
India
“Namaste Kerry ji.
I have been practising the bansuri every day and I am loving it. When can we have our next class? I would also like to pay for next 10 classes or more.”
Tushar B.
