Student reviews
I joined Chaitanya Venu in December 2023. Taking lessons at Chaitanya Venu are helping me to understand the music as a Shastra. It started with the very basic but important thing of how to hold the flute... listening to good classical pieces... to understand what deep listening is, what riyaz is.
I still remember my first day and now I can proudly say that yes I am enjoying my musical journey with Chaitanya Venu. It is adding aesthetic to my music!
Thanks to Tanay Kamat our Guruji 🙏

Been taking classes from Tanay sir from last 1 month. My experience is fantastic with respect to knowledge he has and the way he imparts, teaches and help to okay the flute.
He has a very deep understanding of music. The most noticeable thing that i have observed is - he is calm, composed and patient while helping to play the proper notes. Is great to be learning from Tanay Sir.

I am learning flute in Chaitanya Venu since last one year. My experience in the Chaitanya Venu Bansuri batch was incredibly enriching, filled with learning and delightful musical exploration.💫

I'm Saisudha, a Western Flutist and a enthusiast to learn our divine Indian Flute. Chaitanya Venu classes made my dream came true thru Hindustani Flute Classes. These classes are conceptual and included with authentic methods and techniques. Every class I had increased my interest even more because of the knowledeable tutor, detailed notes, and classes were taught with patience.

I joined Chaitanya Venu class for flute Learning in November 2023.... I always want to learn a flute but without proper guidance I was unable to do so...I was always looking out for the proper guidance.Then luckily I got to know about Chaitanya venu which helped me out to understand not only how to play a flute but also proper information and guidance regarding Indian Classical Music. All the important things related to flute like How to blow, how to hold the flute are covered in the class... One thing I want to share that the peace I get after playing a flute is immeasurable.
Thanks to Chaitanya venu....when I look back I remember that I din't know anything about flute as well as Indian classical music but now I can say that yes I do know something about our rich musical culture. All credit goes to Chaitanya Venu . It gave me the wings to achieve my dream to be a great flutiest one day! Thanks to Tanay Kamat our beloved guruji 😊.

I joined in February 2025 and it has been a wonderful journey since then. As a complete newcomer to Indian Shastriya Sangeet and flute, it was definitely tough at first. But Tanay sir made it all seem so much easier with his patient and clear way of teaching. His deep knowledge combined with his ability to instil confidence in his students is truly remarkable. Now I no longer feel like I started from zero back in February. I’d love to stay on this journey and am really happy learning under him.
