"Great flute learning experience under Prof. Bhaskar. One of the best music teachers I ever had. "
Adrian Q.
"Sir properly introduced Carnatic flute music to me, consistently correcting all my mistakes and bad playing habits, teaching me how to bring out the gamakas and the subtle nuances of certain notes through fingering techniques. Always unreservedly providing me guidance on how to play and practice, sharing very interesting information Carnatic music, and always very patiently responding to my incessant queries! "

"When I first learnt about classes from Flautist Bhaskaran I imagined he will just come probably once in a while, give tips, and use someone else for the regular training. But it was actually a one-one session with him and he will take your breath away literally. The classes are at your own pace. He is down to earth, his approach to teaching is modern and flexible. He is very transparent about his schedule and respects othersâ?? time. I believe it is his passion for music that is driving him and nothing else. I never had any regret for my 30 Km travel to his classes unless of course when I am catching my breath. "
Shashank Anand
"Very patient teacher. He is also immensely flexible with timings. This made my overall experience with him absolutely fantastic. "
Balaji
"One of the most experienced carnatic flutist, performing artist and a great teacher. Not sure if you can find a better teacher to learn traditional carnatic music in flute. "
Ganesh Vaidyanathan
"Personally learning flute from past 6 months. Bhaskaran Sir has got in depth knowledge in carnatic music and makes learning exercise fun and very intuitive. Would personally recommend anyone wishing to learn flute to join. He conducts online Skype classes too if the need be. "

"A great place to get your basics right on playing Carnatic Bamboo flutes. Have attended two sessions so far and find the sessions to be truly insightful. I joined with a prior experience of 2 years in playing the Carnatic bamboo flute. Inputs and corrections are very precise. Looking at the bigger picture, it has been a delightful learning experience and could only sense it becoming further more interesting in the interactions to come. "
Ezhilvendan
"I am glad to be your student, a million thanks to you sir. I am learning flute from Bhaskaran sir from past six months. Bhaskaran sir is very patient in terms of teaching, he is very kind if ask many doubts . Apart from class time I called him and ask doubts, he answered my doubts very patiently. I am very proud to have a great teacher like Bhaskaran sir. Once again thank you very much sir. "

"It is almost a year since I have started with my flute classes with Bhaskaran sir. I am loving every bit of this amazing journey. He is a great Guru with a lot of patience and provides detailed feedback and suggestions that really helps on the way. Approachable any time over multiple channels like Skype/Whatsapp to clear doubts. I do the classes on Skype as I am from a different city and have really not felt it any different from having it in person. The standout aspect for me is that classes happen religiously at the scheduled slot every week and also the flexibility that he provides to reschedule in case it is required. As an individual who works in IT area, I feel this flexibility is really helping me not miss any class to have steady progress. I would highly recommend Bhaskaran sir if you intend to take Carnatic classes to learn about our rich music tradition. "
Pavan
"KB is an excellent flute teacher. I have been doing Skype lessons with him for many years and he's reliable and flexible with time. He has taught me many songs. Also, he has recordings and notes on Dropbox for all of his students, so its very easy to practice at home. "
Varun Krishna. P
"Bhaskaran sir's class is amazing, he keenly listens to what the student is playing, and corrects the student and teaches them how to play it in a correct way. It is really awesome to learn flute under his guidance. "
Ramya Mani
"My son moved from Chicago to Chennai and has learnt to play the flute for a year there. Bhaskaran sir took him in and they easily gelled well and now have a great rapport. Not only is sir a wonderful and patient teacher his affable joking manner makes him very accessible. We have called him on the phone with questions at various times and he has always made himself available. Since my son truly enjoys going to his class every week, making him practice at home is a breeze. My son has learnt a lot since we started with Bhaskaran sir and continues to make strides is his Carnatic music learning due to Sir. I highly recommend Bilvaa. "
Rajesh G
"The flute classes by Bhaskaran sir is really amazing. He is so keen about the learning processes of a student. He listens carefully and corrects the mistakes at the subtle levels. He is a man of enormous knowledge and he encourages a student to learn the ancient art in every ways he can. The most important thing that I noticed is his ability to judge the level of a student and give lessons accordingly. "
Preethi Aditya
"I joined BILVAA music for my flute classes.As i am trained in classical dance and vocal,i just feel i had made the right choice in flute too. The flute classes are so convenient in time and makes me improve in my musical sentences,phrases,placement of breaths,and synchronizing with the thalas day by day which i feel proud of. Thanks to my Guru Bhaskaran sir for having the patience and effort to bring up new talents like me. I feel very happy to be part of this music academy as it helps me in emphasize on my instrument of passion. "

Not mandatory to have a basic understanding of Carnatic music to start learning flute, but it will help. However as you start learning and practising flute, you should also get more exposure to Carnatic music by listening to clips, concerts , etc, which will help your learning process. You can google search for flute bhaskaran , whic is based in Chennai for getting high quality flute lessons in Chennai directly as well as online from any part of the world. Best Wishes for your learning experience
Answered on 18/04/2021 Learn Music/Vocal Music/Carnatic Singing
My recommendation would be to expose the kid to Carnatic music by playing recordings at home and listening along with the kid. For Carnatic music, three years is a bit early for proper Carnatic music lessons. Perhaps five would be comfortable to very few teachers, but seven is OK. If the child is extraordinary -( you will know that quickly or take the child to an experienced teacher for assessment of potential. ), perhaps sporadic cases 3 years could work out. But just being able to sing rhymes and shlokas may not be an indication that you could start so early.
However, constant exposure to good quality Carnatic music (even Indian-style light music or light classical music would be helpful) will go a long way in kidling the child's interest and aptitude. But please continue the classes of shlokas and chants, which will also develop the child's mind and musical / voice-related capabilities. Especially as you have said, there is no family background.
Best Wishes!

It will be useful, but not a must. We have taught people who did not have any background of Carnatic music who have been able to pick up flute playing. They have developed a basic understanding of Carnatic music in the process of learning flute itself. If they are more self-motivated to learn about Carnatic, they can be guided to listen to the various recording, and develop an appreciation.

Rhythm is the heart of drum playing, and a drummer should have rhythm in his skin. That is the way he becomes a master drummer. Mastery of rhythm should be a primary goal for a drummer, in my opinion. This way, the rhythm can even make mediocre music stand out as outstanding music.
The beats add to the overall impact of the music on the listener. Of course in the pure rhythm part of the show, the drummer is the leading performer, and the rhythm aspect is equally if not more, essential to strike the right chord with the listeners and capture a permanent place in their hearts.

Depends - First, the style of guitar you want to learn has to be decided - acoustic, electric or Hawaiian.
Please meet a guitar teacher or school and take a look at guitars and ask him for suggestions, - Do it after this lockdown. Do it on Skype otherwise once you locate an excellent guitar expert. I teach only flute and a bit of vocal, Carnatic. It is my advice.
