Online…

Online lessons have become an increasingly popular choice for my students. Not just because I can teach them regardless of where they are in the world, but because it gives them the comfort and convenience to learn at their own pace in their own home. Also, while the UK and the rest of the world is currently experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, online lessons allow my students to learn their instrument and interact with me face-to-face in complete safety.

For online lessons, I use a popular video communications app called Zoom. It’s free to use, easy to set up and very reliable. I’ll send you simple instructions on how to prepare for your Zoom session so you can get connected to me quickly. If you wish, we can also arrange a no-obligation introductory lesson or a free trial session to make sure you are completely comfortable with the arrangement before finalising your first ‘official’ lesson.

" Why I love having harmonium lessons with Guruji (Vijay) is that he is so calm, patient, soft-spoken, and thorough, and you can feel the immense passion and enthusiasm he has for music. I feel great during and after every lesson and have already learnt so much in just a few lessons"

Vijay is a truly wonderful sitar player! He creates a very beautiful sound that was perfect for our event. Our guests were all very complimentary of his music and Vijay was professional and organised to work with.

“Learning to play the harmonium has been a childhood dream of mine, and it is finally coming true after joining Jagtap Sir’s classes. His unique teaching style ignites enthusiasm in me, deepening my passion and willingness to learn. Every session feels like a mindfulness practice, helping me unwind despite my demanding work schedule. I feel truly blessed to have him as my guru.”

When I had my first lesson with Vijay my intention was to have a one off class, but in that first hour I learned so much and I understood there was so much more to learn that I immediately signed up for 10 classes.

Vijay is patient and takes you through each step. I like the way we sing together following the notation, just like reciting a song. It helps me to play the instrument better”

Your music is Mind and Soul music. Awesome performance, and excellent co-ordination and body language between you and the Tabla player on stage. Astounding!”

As an adult beginner, I was rather apprehensive about learning the Harmonium. However, I have found Vijay’s style of teaching to be most empowering. His instructions are always very clear and easy to understand, making the learning process far less daunting and enjoyable than I had expected. Thanks to Vijay Ji’s expertise.
