Private Bansuri Lessons:

Indian classical music has been passed down through the guru-shishya parampara (teacher-student tradition) for thousands of years. YouTube videos are great for getting information to you, but only a real teacher can give you the feedback you need to ensure you are actually playing correctly. And it is assured that without a guru, you are NOT playing Indian classical music correctly. None of your favorite Indian classical musicians learned exclusively or even primarily through YouTube. ALL of your favorite Indian classical musicians had gurus who gave them in-depth personal training.
