Professional Musician with more than 50 years of experience in performance at live concerts and composition for feature films both in Hindi and Bengali.

I joined Shri. Bhanu Roy sir in February 2018. I have been in touch with music for a very long time, and have quite a bit of basic and amateur skills and techniques of music & beats as I was part of various bands as a vocalist earlier. I picked up Violin because I was attracted by the sound of it but sir's classes and teachings made me fall in love with the instrument. His lessons are crisp and logical which include the science of music and all the technicalities required to master an instrument. His 60+ years of experience is clearly visible in his classes and teachings. His lessons include various chromatic order, patterns which help us develop the fingering skills required for being an advanced Violinist. Along with that, his lessons on staccato provides us an understanding of how to master bowing. His lessons on Time Signatures and their applications in Indian Ragas is one of my favorites as it develops the core of a musician. I had classes twice a week so 8 classes a month about 60-90 minutes in duration. With these types of ornaments, I'm able to render few traditional world-class compositions from western musicology, such as "Blue Danube" as a waltz. Besides this under Indian musicology, I learned 2-3 Indian ragas & a miniature composition on the raga Yaman Kalyan, Tilak-Kamod, Khammaz, fusion type composition composed by Mr. Roy sir in jazz on the raga, Jog-"Rock Jog". I wish people to join sir to relish the music by having a great command of the instrument.

I have been learning violin from Mr. Bhanu Roy for two years. His experience and knowledge in genres of Hindustani Classical, Film Music, Carnatic Music and Western classical is exceptional. Starting from basic lessons, he has taken me step by step - from playing octaves, oscillations, chords in different time signatures, different bowing techniques ranging from tango to staccato, to compositions ranging from Indian classical - Yaman Kalyan, Tilak-Kamod, Khammaz, Rock Jog (A jazz rendition of Raga Jog), Raga Jhinjhoti, Raga Hamsdhwani along with a number of Bollywood songs inspired from these ragas, to western classical – Edelweiss, Morning Has Broken, Blue Danube Waltz, Waltz No.2 from Shostakovich, The God father theme. Attention is also drawn towards understanding the similarities and differences between the western & Indian classical. Sir is a perfectionist who has always inspired us to pay equal attention on practice and theory. Sir makes sure to focus on the style of compositions, its character and the mood and how that corresponds to playing on the instrument. He focuses on each and every note, its intonations, how it is placed within the melodic structure and how it can be played differently by applying different bowing techniques. Sir is also teaching me how to compose and how to prepare music sheet, which forms an integral part of learning music. Sir makes it an enriching experience, rendering a deeper and more profound understanding of music.
