About the Course

This is an advanced course lasting a year and a half, during which students will learn technique, theory and practice from a highly skilled and experienced instructor, Prabir Bhattacharya. This course is recommended for those who have already studied the basics of sitar and have a foundation of knowledge to build on. Through live online learning, students will discover the theoretical knowledge necessary for mastering their instrument and style of music. Lessons cover the notation system of Bhatkhande, the talas with Tali and Khali, Ragas and Paltas, 10 Thaats of Hindustani music, as well as lessons in tempo and sounds. Students will also learn alap, a distinctive improvisation technique. 

 

After the successful completion of this course, students will be able to play advanced compositions and exercises, as well as have a theoretical understanding of Indian classical music. Each student will benefit from Prabir Bhattacharya’s extensive background in music, including his experience as a scholar, educator, performer and composer. Mr. Bhattacharya teaches the concepts of this course through lectures and demonstrations, as well as question and answer sessions with students.
