It was a wonderful experience learning the Carnatic Violin from the maestro himself. The kind of attention to detail that has been given in the course is great and very easy to understand and we also get to interact with sir to understand better and clear all our queries on a regular basis. He gives us detailed feedback after every lesson which is very helpful.
