Online Lessons
We are in the process of setting up online Sitar lessons. These lessons will be for different levels of Sitar students; from the very basic to very advanced, and will be available as high quality video downloads.
There will also be an option for a live broadcast. Stay tuned for the update.
There are places inaccessible by good teachers, or students themselves cannot reach the teacher. We must say that there is no substitute for learning in the presence of a great teacher. The experience itself is priceless. Nevertheless, we hope that the online lessons provide some help to keen students and fill a void that exists. There is the aspect of convenience, and of going at your own pace too. These lessons will give information that many private lessons don't touch upon. There will be ways to do minor repairs, tips, and much more.
