Instructor Details

Luca Gambirasio

I'm a guitarist and composer since 2006, based near Pisa, Italy.
I studied rock blues guitar in Florence, Italy and Jazz guitar, along with jazz composition and arranging in Livorno, Italy.
I'm currently interested in ethnomusicology, especially into the indian and arab classical musical traditon, and their stringed instrument.
I think that playing music is a beatiful way to heal ourself from the diseases caused by a stressful life.

Good.. this course is for one who want explore and have no knowldege about Carnatic music :)

Wonderfully presented. I would recommend at least a little background in Indian Classical music. Carnatic is not required, but it's helpful. The instructor goes through all the basics, and I found it very helpful as a Sitar player. Guruji explained this all to me in the first few lessons I had with her, but I was so nervous at the time that I didn't retain much of it. This helps me immensely when it comes to working with our tabla players and playing together. It has also made it easier for Guruji - who does not have a great command of the English language - to explain the concepts she is teaching to me using more traditional terminology. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seriously studying Carnatic style classical Indian music.
