I've been learning at Shankar Mahadevan Academy for 6 years. Having grown up with Western classical music, I enjoy the improvisation and emotional expression in Hindustani classical. The academy has been invaluable. My teacher, Mani, has been fantastic over the past 5 years, helping me transition from Western to Indian classical style through her collaborative and challenging approach. Our lessons are always fun and rewarding.
