Resuming Guitar Classes

Well, the last 14 days' seems like a dream. Wish it was. Have to get back to reality. So glad that work involves music and meeting lots of people wanting to learn new things. Makes a big difference in dealing with change ...

RaGa School Of Music loses a well-wisher

One of the primary sources of inspiration behind RaGa School was my mother, a great supporter of music. Though not 'formally' trained, she was always in demand to sing during family functions and casual get-togethers. Being from the South and having lived for many years in the north of India, she was versatile in singing songs across multiple languages. This helped me, my brother and sister appreciate music without bias towards a particular language or genre.

Unfortunately, she left us all on the evening of the 14th. But not without a battle of over a year with an ailment that could not be controlled. She remained a positive person through out and I'm sure, her influence in our thinking will continue. We feel even more responsible to make her proud by setting greater goals for RaGa School of Music.

My wife Gayathri, and I will be able to resume our respective classes (Veena and Guitar) only after completion of all ceremonies. Means that we will resume classes on Wednesday the 28th. 

Keyboard, Bhavageethe, Tabla classes and Veena classes handled by Smt Meena will continue as usual.

Would also like to thank a number of you who have sent us messages. Really appreciate your comforting words.
