About Vicky
I am Swarnayan, trained in Hindustani Classical Vocal for over 25 years in the Bishnupur Gharana under the guidance of Pt. Pranay Pathak, starting at the tender age of 4 years. My musical understanding is additionally enriched by ongoing Bansuri training in the Maihar Gharana tradition under the disciples of Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia — Pt. Santosh Sant, Sameer Rao, and Rupak Kulkarni. This dual training has given me a deep appreciation for gayaki ang, raga architecture, and nuanced musical expression. I also hold senior diplomas with distinction and have performed at major cultural venues and Inter-IIT platforms. I teach with seriousness, respect for lineage, and a calm, supportive attitude towards every student.

Master Hindustani Classical Vocal — Systematic Training with Swarnayan
These classes are designed for students who wish to study Hindustani classical vocal as a serious art form, combining rigorous technique with deep musical understanding. Guided by the teachings of my gurus [Pt. Pranay Pathak (Bishnupur Gharana)] and [Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia (Maihar Gharana)], students develop a strong foundation and a refined, expressive voice.
What you will learn:
️Precision in swara (note) intonation and pitch control
️️Voice culture, breath support, and tone refinement for a resonant, flexible voice
️️Mastery of meend, gamak, kan, and other essential ornamentations
️️Understanding raga grammar, chalan, and mood (bhaav) to express the raga authentically
️️Development of alaap and taan patterns, exploring improvisation with confidence
️️Tala awareness and foundational layakari (rhythmic intricacies)
️️Efficient, structured riyaaz techniques to progress steadily
️️Cultivating active listening, musical thinking, and immersive raga experience beyond rote memorisation
Students are encouraged to internalise music as a living, evolving form, while building discipline, intuition, and creativity in performance.
With consistent practice, students can expect:
improved pitch accuracy and voice control
ability to present a raga thoughtfully
confidence in dhrupad and khyal performance format
disciplined riyaaz habits
deeper musical sensitivity and listening ability
preparation for exams, auditions, or performances

Great teacher for adult learners who want serious classical bansuri training
He explains how to practice ragas correctly, which helped me become more disciplined.
My confidence in playing the bansuri has increased a lot due to his clear guidance.
I was worried about learning flute online, but the experience has been surprisingly effective and personal.
Clear explanations, great demonstrations, and a very friendly teaching approach. You never feel intimidated, even when making mistakes.
