Ravi - Baba the School of Music
As a group of musicians and non musicians we arrived not quite knowing what to expect, but hoping for an introduction to Indian music, as well as some hands on experience. By the time we left we were all (musicians and non musicians alike) able to play some simple patterns on tabla, as well as to witness and understand the awesome potential of this instrument in the hands of a master. We also tried drones, harmonium, flutes and sitars and learnt about the role they play in Indian classical music.
Ravi was an exceptionally patient and generous teacher, adapting the lesson to meet our needs and encouraging us supportively as we went along. Each of us came with different aspirations for the session and Ravi managed to meet all of these, while providing a relaxed and encouraging setting. I would thoroughly recommend him as a teacher and guide.
Ravi was also a good friend!
