Above all, the Kolkata environment works as a catalyst for overall musical growth.
What students say…
John Brinnand [USA] speaks about his experiences of learning with Pt. Sanjoy Bandopadhyay
“Initially I was hesitant about learning the sitar in Real Time mode over the Internet. My concerns were to do with things like latency, Internet reliability, time zone differences, etc. However, …I realised these were minor issues, especially when compared to the expertise and skills Professor Sanjoy Bandopadhyay has to offer. It is completely my pleasure to be a student of IML!”
