Ramprapanna Bhattacharya - Teaching Music Students all around the Globe

 


#OnlineSitarLessons #OnlineMusic #OnlineMusicLessons #MusicLessons

So far I have taught 77 students in one on one sessions since 2005.
Many of them have learnt online, some came to India for learning sitar. In other cases I have taught them in other countries over face to face sessions.
I prefer to call these as learning sessions / knowledge sharing session - as this is the process of mutual learning.
For some documentation purpose, one veteran musician asked about my Gurus and Disciples. So got a chance to note down the details today for the first time!

Pen names of Great Composers of Hindustani Music

भारतीय संगीत के रचनाकार : हिंदुस्तानी संगीत के उस्तादों ने ध्रुपद, ख़याल, ठुमरी आदि की अनंत बंदिशें बनाई हैं। रागदारी, लयकारी आदि की समझ विकसित करने में इन बंदिशों का भारी योगदान माना जाता है। इन बंदिशों में रचनाकार का असली नाम नहीं रहता। वह अपना कोई उपनाम बनाता है और उसी का अपनी रचनाओं में प्रयोग करता है। उपनाम को छाप भी कहते हैं। यहाँ इन उपनामों की सूची दी जा रही है ताकि जिज्ञासुओं को उपनामों के साथ उस्तादों के असली नामों का पता भी चल सके। मेरे इस प्रयास को शुरुआत ही माना जाए क्योंकि बंदिशकार अनगिनत हैं। हो सकता है इस सूची में त्रुटियाँ रह गई हों। जानकारों से अनुरोध है उनसे अवगत कराने का कष्ट करें। निश्चय ही इन नामों के अलावा अन्य बहुत से नामों की जानकारी आपके पास हो सकती है। उनसे भी अवगत कराएँ ताकि इस सूची को अधिकाधिक प्रामाणिक और पूर्ण बनाया जा सके। Aalam - Alamara Begum Khaasmahal Adarang - Firoz Khan (nephew) Ahmedpiya/Ahmed - Alladiya Khan Akhtar Piya - Wajid Ali shah Amar - Aman Ali Khan Amardas/Amarpiya-NavrangNagpurkar Amarpiya - Aman Ali Khan (Bhendi bazaar) ...

Masit Khan’s nephew, Dulha Khan was n extraordinary Sitarist of his time. Rahim Sen,  son of Sukh Sen, the ‘mul-purush’ of Senia Gharana , married the daughter of Dulha Khan.
