Ustadji teaching Raag Nand during the January Shibir—an intimate session filled with nuance, depth, and the quiet joy of discovery. We’re now counting down to the second part of our May Shibirs, happening May 16–18 at SPK Academy in Arizona! Another chance to dive deep, learn directly, and experience the true spirit of the guru-shishya parampara. #spk #ustadshahidparvezkhan #spkacademyofmusic #raagnand #sitarshibir #sitarcamp #mayshibir #indianclassicalmusic #guruparampara #musicalimmersion #arizonamusiccamp #learnfromthemaestro #sitarworkshop (fb)

A weekend to remember! 💫 SPK Academy hosted its first-ever Kids Sitar Camp on May 10–11, and it was pure joy from start to finish. Watching the kids connect directly with Ustadji—learning, playing, and absorbing his wisdom—was something truly special. From sitar sessions to pet time, pool fun, and a legendary game of hide and seek, their hearts (and ours!) were completely full. We wrapped up the weekend with a beautiful group outing to hear Ustadji’s student Ravi Chari-ji (@ravicharysitar) perform in Phoenix, accompanied by Prafulla Athalye-ji (@prafulla_athalye) on tabla—a perfect ending to a magical weekend of music, laughter, and lifelong inspiration. 🎶☀️ satishtatikonda_ @priyanallawar @ashwini_bharathula @cheese_babies @casadesai @neeldesai13 #spk #spkacademyofmusic #ustadshahidparvezkhan #kidssitarcamp #sitarforkids #indianclassicalmusic #musicalmentorship #gayakiang #musicandjoy #phoenixconcert #studentcommunity #ravichari #prafullaathalye #musicalweekend #guruparampara #youngmusicians (fb)
