Anish Kumar

I am an experienced Flute teacher and performer with a strong foundation in both education and professional practice. I earned my Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune in 2015-2019, where I graduated with additional Bachelors Degree in Network Security from same university. My flute training focused on classical technique, improvisation, or music theory, which I now bring to my teaching approach.

Professionally, I have been active in the music scene for 8 years. In June 2017, I performed as lead flautist in Pt. Sudeep Bandhopadhya's recording at All India Radio Kolkata, India. I also contributed to a recording of Archana Bhowmick, where I served as Lead Flautist, at Akashwani India. Additionally, I showcased my work at festival at Jay Durga Sangeet Mohotsav performing for a sold-out crowd of 400 attendees.

My teaching experience spans 8 years, including a position at Dhunguru Music Acadmey, Spardha School of Learning, where I taught beginner-to-intermediate Flute and music theory to students aged  5-70. I also worked as a private instructor in India, designing personalized curricula that helped students achieve, successful audition placements or competition wins. My approach emphasizes, technical precision paired with creative expression, tailored to each student’s goals.

These experiences have equipped me with the skills and insight to guide students effectively, whether they’re beginners or advanced learners, and I’m excited to share my passion for Flute through Lessonface.

1. Guru-Shishya Parampara (Teacher-Student Tradition)

• Personalized Guidance: Historically, Hindustani music is taught one-on-one or in small groups, with the teacher (guru) tailoring lessons to the student’s pace and aptitude. You might assess a student’s strengths—breath control, finger dexterity, or musical intuition—and build from there.

• Oral Transmission: Emphasis is placed on learning by ear rather than relying solely on written notation. You’d likely demonstrate ragas (melodic frameworks) and talas (rhythmic cycles) yourself, encouraging students to imitate and internalize the sound.
