Hindustani Classical Music Appreciation Workshop

Pushkar Lele, HCM

The workshop was a perfect introduction to Hindustani classical music. Pushkar went step by step, patiently teaching us the basics. Thanks for the notes so we can revise and do homework on our own beyond the class.
I would be happy to join the next level class if and when it’s made available.

Holistic, enriching workshop

Our mentor Pushkar Lele covered everything about hindustani music , ranging from its spiritual roots, history, types, evolution to its current extent. All this over a span of 4 days (12-14 hours).
He also made it very engaging by actively providing illustrative examples, live demonstrations and activities to experience the theory for oneself , every day.

I heartily recommend this workshop for everyone regardless of age or expertise levels.
Thank You! 🙂

Fantastic

Fantastic workshop…..highly satisfying….

An enriching experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop conducted by Pushkar Lele. For an uneducated person in the nuances of classical hindustani music it was quite enlightening learning about the differences between classical and light classical music. Also I finally understood so many terminologies one hears when attending concerts. Of course learning is an ongoing journey and this workshop has put me on the right path. I can now properly appreciate the hard work and the years of practise an artist puts in to make it look so effortless for the audience.

Highly recommended

I am so glad that I took this course, Pushkare Lele did an amazing job of carefully selecting and weaving together many key aspects of an otherwise vast and endless domain. He presented the material in a very organized fashion giving me a truly holistic picture that exposed me to many different facets of Hindustani classical music. Despite the limitations of an online medium for instruction, Pushkar patiently and effortlessly blended enthusiasm with interesting analogies which speaks so much about his knowledge, experience and above all, skill as a teacher. It was clear from the participant responses that his approach appealed to his audience who possessed varying degrees of subject matter expertise. While classical music remains an ocean, I feel less overwhelmed at the thought of delving deeper into it now and it is safe to say that I am more curious than ever to know more; why, I now find myself listening to so many genres that were explained in class. If you want to expand your knowledge on Hindustani music, I highly recommend this 4-day workshop.
