North Indian Classical Music

NORTH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC

I began learning the tabla under Sri. Ajay Hangal at the age of 10. I quickly progressed to learning under the tutelage of Pt. Sheshagiri Hangal (Sri. Ajay Hangal’s father). In 2011, I began expanding my repertoire by learning to play tabla for semi-classical music, under Sri. Praveen D Rao, and since 2016 I have been pursuing my tabla education under Sri. Gurumurthy Vaidya.

Over the years, I have performed at various music festivals in India, Germany and the USA. From 2016-2023, I was part of the Music of India ensemble led by Prof. Scott Marcus.
