Perfect! He is very patient and goes through exercises with precision and patience.
Perfect! So far so good.Great summary of his teaching program.Capable to lead you into the depths of Indian classic music. Excellent teacher for a novice like me with no prior knowledge of Sitar.Happy to attend his online classes.
Perfect! Shirish is amazing! I was looking to learn gayaki style of playing and Shirish has been wonderful both a professional and his display of patience. An abundance of knowledge, I have learnt quite a bit With some depth.
Perfect! just had an introductory class. He is very good at explaining and he is very encouraging. Looking forward to more classes
Perfect! For those who don't want to read long review - Mr Shirish is the best teacher I could dream of!
1st of all - He is very skilful sitar player. He plays in very good way with big sense of music and ballance between virtuosity and simple beauty. He plays soo marvellous! His interpretation of Raag Yaman Kalyan (I've heard many) is one of the best I've ever heard! And the idea that he share his style of playing with students is amazing!
He really understands music - not only its technical part but also emotional.
He can share his knowladge in a very clear and understandably way - both academic and practical part of playing Sitar.
He is very dedicated teacher, very patient and supportive.
I'm very lucky that I met Mr Shirish at the right moment. Please, remember: "Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher". Good match of professor and student is crucial - in my case being Mr Shirish's student is the best way to learn Hindustani Classical Music and playing Sitar.Perfect! Teaching with patience. Good in communication. Gives easy methods to learn faster and understand clearly.
Glad that I got a good master. Thank you.Perfect! he is a very patient teacher and very knowledgeable about the sitar
Perfect! As a student with a long familiarity with sitar and hindustani classical music, I am impressed with Shirishjis practical and theoretical depth. He is deeply traditional but also flexible , which is a rare quality. A rare gem and students will be blessed to have such a guru.
Perfect! I’ve been learning the Sitar here in England and I had been hesitant about using an online teacher because I thought that it wouldn’t be as good because he wouldn’t be sitting with me; I was wrong. Shirish is the best Teacher that I have met, and he can see exactly what my fingers are doing, there is no need for him to be in the room. He is a professional Teacher who takes his job seriously, not Just a Sitar player who does a bit of teaching. I had a lesson at The Bhavan in London and the teacher was constantly angry that students aren’t as good as him at the Sitar, it was basically an hour of arrogance. It was that experience that prompted me to try SuperProf and I am very happy that I did. The fee is well worth it. I have improved so much. I recommend Shirish to you.
Perfect! He is very dedicated and has patience .He teaches from very basic to advanced covering theory of sitar . He is very good teacher.

Mr. Shirish Joshi is professional artist and famous academician of sitar art. He belongs to Gwalior gharana of music. He is amongst one of those artists, who has not only mastered the art of playing professional sitar but also having academic acumen in this field. His music qualifications (M.A., NET qualified) are amongst some of his achievement in this field. I strongly recommend Mr. Shirish Joshi as one of the best and overall guide for sitar playing art.
