Sitar School of Toronto is an Indian Classical Music School

 

Testimonials

"Although most of my training is in classical vocal, I have always been drawn to the sounds of the Sitar. I attended Ustad Ji’s concert in Vancouver in June of 2002. The entire three hours, from Raag Puriya to Khamaj, blew me completely away! So naturally, I followed him to Toronto, and was welcomed warmly by the entire Sitar School crew. Not for a moment did I feel out of place. All I have to say is that we are very fortunate to have Ustad Ji, the foremost entity of this legendary Gharana, pay such close attention to us all regardless of our age, religion, and level of musical understanding and ability. The ambience of the Sitar School is the perfect context for Ustad Ji, whose magical presence puts everybody at ease".

"Everything you expect a music class to be...throw it out the window and you'll have what a class at Sitar School is like. They're just so unconventional... so unlike the rigidness many of us have been subjected to when studying music elsewhere. You'll never know what you're going to learn in the classes at SSOT, yet they're always uplifting in some way or the other!"

"One of the things I love about the classes at SSOT is the flexibility of the intructors, the classes aren't hurried, time isn't what is of the essence, but rather if you truly understand the material."
