Welcome to my website. I am a
performer
of Hindustani music using the Sitar, Dilruba,
and Violin. Many of the works I perform
are older Ragas, such as Dhani, Mand, Bhoopal, Yaman, and Darbari.
As a professional musician for over
40 years with 9 musical instruments
in my resume, I take pride in
providing quality entertainment
and
information wherever I perform, all
without any cost to your group.
Please feel
free to comment, suggest topics, and to contact me to schedule an appearance. I do have a few students on sitar, and
I am always available for demo's and an introductory lesson using one of my instruments. I teach in the more traditional
method of knowledge transference and ear training using exercises, vocals, and repetition. This allows the student to
experiment freely with their rendition of each raga, as well as helping to gain a deeper understanding of Indian music.
In addition to performing and lessons, I am also available to help with sitar setup, string changing, and performing
the work to make your instrument sound the best it can.

The Sitar of the forest sounds music;
the sail gathers perfect peace.
