For the past 18 years, I have studied with the great santoor maestro, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. From the beginning of my studies it was clear that there was more to this music than notes. In this two-part workshop we will dive into two distinct pentatonic ragas; the dark and tense Raga Shivranjani, and the light and uplifting Raga Hamsadhwani. By using philosophies inherent to Raga, we will focus on how to be mindful in our choices, improvisation, and creativity.
