“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”
- Mark Van Doren
I started my teaching career at a small music institute in Bangalore where I also worked as a guitar luthier and a salesperson. I always liked being around guitars, It's a great feeling. After working there for an year, I decided to curate my own syllabus and that's when I founded WhiteFret School Of Music.
Being a performing musician helped me a lot in designing the syllabus in a way which is fun and also very informative. The syllabus has been designed in a way which is easy-to-understand and also gives the student a very comfortable approach. One of the best thing about the syllabus is that it allows me to tailor the teaching method according to each individual. I hold one on one individual training on a weekly basis.
You can learn from anywhere! All you got to have is a laptop/tab/smartphone with minimal internet connection and a guitar. Book your slot today using the below link. See you soon!
I Proudly endorse Vault
I strongly believe that having a great team which supports you is one of the best thing an artist can have. I am very grateful for Bajaao and Vault for trusting in me and taking me on board as an endorsed artist.
Currently I am using a custom Vault HL1 guitar and TL2 guitar as my live setup along with a bunch of amazing pedals from vault.

My Music
Apart from playing with various bands and artists, I've been making my own music under the name Thaagam. Thaagam stands for Thirst in Tamil language. It is the outcome of all of my influences in the past varying from Rock, Metal, post-rock and more. Thaagam's music is heavily driven by strong bass and drum grooves along with melodic and melancholic guitar solos.
