Live Teaching in Real-Time
¨
"Initially I was
hesitant about learning the sitar in Real Time mode over the Internet. My
concerns were to do with things like latency, Internet reliability, time zone
differences, etc. However, after taking the offer of two free lessons I
realised these were minor issues, especially when compared to the expertise and
skills Professor Sanjoy Bandopadhyay has to offer.
I would recommend this form of
teaching to anyone who is serious about learning the Sitar from a true
Professional. In just a few lessons my skills and confidence has grown ten
fold, I am now starting to feel like a Sitarist!" Mahesh Sharma, UK

¨ “I have been learning to play
sitar on line (through internet) for 7 months from professor Sanjoy
Bandopadhyay. It is a great experience and my playing has improved beyond my
expectations. This is really a fantastic opportunity to have the guidance
from a real pandit. The teachings are deeply thought and systematically
organised, according to the level of the student. As a result, the tone,
speed, clarity, and expression in my playing has improved immensely. I
want to go on with the experience as long as possible.” :: Denis Jouin,
