Interested to learn bansuri but don’t know where to start?

Are you interested in learning bansuri but don’t know the right way to start? Are you searching for a Guru but not able to find a right one? Are you already learning but are not satisfied? Are you not getting proper guidance? Are you unsure about how to make progress?

If you have all these questions in your mind, you are at the right place to find the answers.

Himanshu Nanda ji feels strongly about spreading the knowledge he have acquired from my guru and the legend Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. This led me to him teaching bansuri for decades to student base that now spans across the globe. Taking advantage of technology, we have been able to take bansuri teaching to interested learners, no matter where they are located. Over the years, we have diligently built an extensive online bansuri learning platform The Mystic Bamboo with high quality flute learning curriculum, contents, and videos.

Finding the Right Guru

Anybody who is interested in music, always strives for a good Guru. In India, the Guru-Shishya parampara (teacher-disciple tradition) is still being followed in learning music. It needs years of association with the Guru and intense riyaz (practice) to become a successful musician. Same is true for learning bansuri.

The Mystic Bamboo Platform

The Mystic Bamboo content is curated with a lot of care to cater to the absolute beginner to someone who is well on their way in their Bansuri journey. You can enroll for the first module "Beginner Course Level-I" to get familiar with the work we tried to put into this labour of love.

For Intermediate and Advanced learners, there is a lot more hand holding that we provide. These modules happen via face-to-face mode where Himanshuji himself try to stick to Guru-Sishya parampara way of teaching/learning.

The classes happen on one-on-one or group mode on a weekly basis. Himanshuji personally takes these classes via Zoom and classes happen in interactive mode. In each of the classes, he explains the details and shows the demo.

Supporting documents are also provided. Then, assignments for the week are given. The classes also get recorded and can be accessed anytime and anywhere and as many times you want.

Once the assignments are submitted by the learners, these get reviewed either by Himanshuji or by the senior students and feedback is given via Whatsapp. From time to time, virtual concerts (via facebook, Zoom etc.) are conducted where the students are handpicked by Himanshuji to perform in front of other students.

Conclusion

We at theThe Mystic Bamboo take utmost care to spread the right knowledge in Bansuri which I gained from my Gurus over decades. Our motto is to impart the authentic bansuri teaching in its pure form and to create great professional flautists across the world.
