Lakshmi Venkatesan

For Lakshmi Venkatesan, sitar is a craft you build brick by brick. 8 years of teaching in Coimbatore have produced a clear method: fundamentals until they're automatic, then freedom on top of them.

When not teaching, Lakshmi Venkatesan keeps their own practice alive — the belief being that you can only teach what you continue to do. Live classes run through OneGuruKool in Coimbatore.
