Student's Reviews

Excellent learning platform in this digital world!!

Its been a wonderful experience for me to learn Indian Classical music through ipassio. I think the option of online learning is very valuable, not only for me who is residing in USA, but also for a lot of other people who can use the flexibility and save time and money by using these online classes. Before joining, I did some search online and found ipassio to be reasonably priced. They also have some outstanding artists. I am learning slide guitar (mohan veena) from Mr. Rhitom Sarkar and find him to be extremely talented and passionate about his music. He is an expert in light music as well as Indian classical music. I consider myself very fortunate to get an opportunity to learn from him and thank ipassio for making it possible.

Learning slide guitar from Rhitom Sarkar

I have been Rhitom Sarkar's student on the ipassio platform for about 18 months now. Rhitom has guided me into the vast ocean of Hindustani classical music with great maturity, connecting music to the different facets day to day life and encouraging me to explore more. Rhitom's skill with the slide guitar, his deep intuitive knowledge of the different ragas and playing techniques of the instrument and his love for music is unmistakable and deeply inspiring.

I sincerely thank ipassio for making my dream of learning music come true. Special thanks, of course, to my guru, Rhitom. May he get all the success he truly deserves and may our musical association continue for a long long time to come. Thanks Rhitom! Thanks ipassio!

I take Indian classical guitar classes…

I take Indian classical guitar classes from Rhitom Sarkar in Calcutta via Skype. I am based in the US. The transactions, call quality and the general ease of managing the relationship is fantastic. The teacher is a highly accomplished concert slide guitarist with a deep knowledge of Indian classical music. I am thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Magical, musical experience!

I am a believer! I bought a guitar to learn how to play music. But in my quest to learn how to play, I decided that I wanted to learn how to play Hindustani classical more than anything else. Guitar and Indian classical music was not a combination I thought possible. Definitely knew it wasn't common. Serendipitously, I found Rhitom Sarkar, had one meeting over skype. That was all it took for me to sign up.

Rhitom Sarkar, aside from being a masterful player, is also a wonderful teacher. He is very knowledgeable, but also spontaneous, relatable, and enthusiastic. He brings an inimitable energy to every class. He simplifies complex music theory and provides several training techniques that improve the overall skill level. My musical journey has truly been transformed into a magical experience.

Hindustani guitar with Rhitom sarkar

My son is a 13 year old guitar student and wanted to learn indian classical music. It is not easy to find indian classical guitar teachers and ipassio came to the rescue connecting us to Rhitom sarkar.

It's been around 3 months so far. Rhitom sir is a very accomplished and talented artist. He has structured the classes very well. My son is enjoying his classes and I can see his learning curve improving week by week.

Thank you.

I am learning classical guitar since last 4 months through ipassio online classes. Its really easy to manage class schedule and payments. I wanted to learn classical guitar but couldn't find any good tutor in united states. Finally through ipassio I got introduced to Rhitom Sarkar. All classes are well organized, logically connected and easy to follow. I am enjoying my lessons and can see progress after each class.
Thank you ipassio!
