welcome to the academy
NEW GROUPS STARTING 19TH and 22nd OF JANUARY!
|
To get started
As a part of joining the Academy you will gain full access to the 'Essential Techniques for Indian Guitar' course, as well as new courses as we progress over the months. This covers a range of different skills and explores new exercises and exciting musical concepts that can really develop your playing in a profound way. This material will be necessary so you can prepare properly for the ongoing sessions. |

About the sessions
The sessions occur 4 times a month (average once a week). Groups are limited to only 4 students, so everyone can have time to share how they are getting on with a particular area of their playing and receive feedback. Currently there's just two groups so there are only 8 places available at any one time and they fill up fast each month.

Each month we focus on a particular raag or set of exercises and applying improvisation. The format is that the students will practice specific areas before each and then we will develop, refine and extend the material in the group sessions. In this way we can really bring the music out of these practice techniques and potentially reach more of the performance aspects of playing Indian Classical Music.
Students are required to commit to the group for at least a month at a time, so there is a consistent progression that the group moves through together over the sessions. This way everyone will get the most out of each month.
Each session is recorded and made available in a private playlist. So if you miss a session you can catch up on what was covered. Its also there as an extra resource for students to revise what they learned that day.
Pricing
The online Zoom sessions are £60 per 4 sessions, consisting of 4 x 60-minute sessions with a maximum of 4 students.
This includes access to specialised video course content, as required to aid practice. You will be able to access this as long as you are attending the classes.
Another option is to subscribe on Patreon as a Gold Patron for £15 per month and then get 20% off the monthly fee (this saves you £5 per month overall). As a Gold Patron you will immediately access all of the video courses I have made, plus other benefits of being part of my Patreon programme. This will give you the perfect tool-kit to make progress and get the most out of the group sessions.
Timings
At present there are just two groups. Depending on what time zone you are in either Group 1 or Group 2 maybe more possible for you. I'm in the UK so we run on UK time to keep things simple.
Starting 19th of January 2021:
Group 1 - 9pm to 10pm Tuesdays
Starting 22nd of January 2021:
Group 2 - 11:15am to 12:15pm Fridays
