My experience is good. The way of teaching is great

So far our experience is good. Support team is great. Only downside for us is not having an ability to track the progress in the online portal and no proper course material.

It’s working out good for me when I needed Art Gharana to accommodate in the next class because of my mom and my health . Al My teacher is great, he has encouraged me always that I can do this and is very patient.

I'm proud to have been a part of Artgharana's musical journey. This platform has fulfilled my longing to learn music, and I thank it for that. I would like to specially acknowledge my guru, Sri Roshan Shetty, whose teaching ability and empathetic understanding of student are truly praiseworthy.

really good place to learn the music and I have been learning here from last 6 months, and I have seen so much progress in my learning, especially my teacher has so much of experience. I am so glad to be a part of Art Gharana.

I have been a student of John's for the past 8-9 years, starting when I was in middle school. I have had such a fun time learning from John, he's incredibly passionate about his teaching and his infectious joy when explaining rajas and improvisation moved onto me! John has taught me over 20+ ragas by this time, and we have even done Western music (Bach, etc.), Jazz-inspired compositions, and Irish-folk-song-inspired creations. Coming from a background in Western classical piano, I had no background on Indian music and the music theory behind it. I have learned so much from John, but the best part is how he teaches! He's extremely supportive, joyful, and passionate about what he does, and I couldn't have found a better guru!

I truly consider myself fortunate to learn Hindustani classical vocals from Pallavi didi. I truly admire her legitimate love of music, her warm enthusiastic and patient personality that ensures I learn the most important fundamental elements of music in a systematic fashion and her inspiring teaching method fosters a love singing/music and sets the bar high. She embodies and inculcates discipline so that I truly can be self-sufficient and independent singer/musician. Didi genuinely makes each singing class fun, interesting and empowering. I truly look forward to my weekly singing sessions with my awesome teacher who over a period of 10 months has become a dear friend

Didi (Pallavi Mehta) is a joy to learn from. I have been her student since May and have taken exclusively online classes from her. Didi has a long history of teaching and understood clearly the level I entered at. She has a deep repertoire of sitar music and is flexible in her teaching style. In addition to being a knowledgeable and accommodating teacher, she is also a very positive person and I look forward to all of our lessons together.

One of the extraordinary Tabla player I met. Versatile, rooted and dextrous!

The bansuri flute is one of the most sensual and serene instruments to come out of India...... Only a couple of Westerners have mastered its intricacy one is John Wubbenhorst.

An excellent debut by a new artist in the area of World Musi Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 1999 World Music can often be a hotch-potch of styles but Mr.Wubbenhorst has managed to avoid that in his recording debut. A flutist, who plays both the Western instrument and the Indian bamboo flute or bansuri, Wubbenhorst works with a variety of Western and Indian instruments to create a new and exciting sound. The rhythmic basis of the music, generated by Indian tabla player Sandip Barman is particularly interesting. On top of this, Wubbenhorst layers a variety of colors and patterns, and at the very top, gives us flute improvisations with a mixture of jazz and Indian influences. The end result is a sound that is clean, fresh and invigorating, leavened with moments of meditative serenity that the bamboo flute is beautifully suited for. This is a fine debut. If you enjoy jazz, World Music or any similar genres and you are a little jaded by the sameness of current issues, give Facing East a chance, I think you will be pleasantly surprised

As a teacher, John Wubbenhorst communicates a clear and profound understanding and experience of the rich tradition of Northern India’s classical music. The focus of my classes was on Rag Yaman: it’s emotional mood, melodic outline, ornamentations, variations, as well as improvisational approaches to this raga. Studying Yaman as a foundation to understanding other ragas, was a great place to begin to study this vast realm. I learned a lot from my few months of study with John, in which, at my request, he facilitated translating a bansuri approach to the western flute. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

“A stunning virtuoso display of the bamboo flute ….. the compositions and arrangements are equally impressive”

“By far the most successful merger of Indian and Western music and instrumentation to date.”

“Beautifully conceived and performed, a fresh new approach to East/West music.”

I have had a wonderful time learning Hindustani music from John. Even though the lessons are over zoom, they are just as engaging as an in person class. He is patient yet always pushing me to improve. I really enjoy the structure of the classes andI have already learned so much in just a few months of flute lessons! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to gain understanding of Indian music!

My name is Veena Nair, I joined Soor Academy in 1995, and then moved to Dubai, from where I pursued my learnings with Pallavi Mehta whose tireless effort of teaching even when I was far away in Dubai, it seemed not so far away. An institution in itself has not only brought the beautiful instrument sitar into my life, it also teaches me values of humility. Thank you Pallavi ji for your dedication with me from so faraway.

I was always fascinated by the beautiful instrument that Sitar is, I started taking classes in the eleventh standard but that was for a short while as the pressure of my class XII board exams took over. Subsequently I graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore in 2010 and started working at a law firm in Bombay. My fascination for the seven stringed beauty resurfaced and I found an excellent guru in Pallavi didi to guide me in learning the Sitar. My days at Soor Academy have been joyful and merry. However, I shifted to Chennai after a year but I am glad that I have continued to take classes from Pallavi Didi over Skype. I hope my association with Soor Academy lasts for a lifetime.

Hello, I am Anuradha Shyam Joshi. I am a housewife and 44 years old. I am truly fond of music and love to play the Sitar. Guruma, Pallavi Mehtaji is training me in Sitar since the last one and half years. I am very satisfied and happy with the kind of training imparted to me through her training process. I am very happy to have such a 'Guru'. Due to her encouragement, friendly and cooperative nature, I am able to travel from Chiplun (Ratnagiri, Konkan) to take monthly lessons at the Soor Academy without any hassles.

Pallaviben's dedication to her students is simply unmatched! She is not only flexible with her schedule, but is incredibly patient, resourceful and knowledgeable. Pallaviben's caliber, her drive and her commitment to the art of teaching music is apparent on the first day of class. I believe myself to be very fortunate to be her student.

I am a French Mathematician, passionate about Indian culture and specially Indian classical music. I took some lessons of Sitar in Mumbai, with Pallavi Mehta, but as I live in Paris, 7000 km from there, I also wanted to practice when I was back home. It is a real pleasure to be one of her online students, because Pallavi is a great teacher. She always gives the best of herself, and online lessons are exactly as the ones I took in Mumbai. With Skype and a webcam, it's easy to follow her explanations, to listen to her when she plays, to see the right position for hands or fingers, and to play with her. Each lesson is one hour long. Pallavi follows my work and checks the details as well as the global way I play. I like this because I think it is the best way to make progress. It is an honour and a pleasure to be her student.
