curriculum

The Asian Music Circuit started its first summer school in 1997. The idea was to create opportunities for people to learn directly from master musicians in a friendly and inspiring environment. It was the first of its kind and is still one of the best Asian music schools in the UK.

Our 7 day summer school offers expert tuition in three principle vocal genres of Khyal, Dhrupad and Thumri. It gives opportunities for people to learn directly from the Indian masters, in the spirit of traditional guru-shishya parampara (teacher – pupil relationship). Participants choose the genre in which they wish to specialise, and the relevant artist then becomes their guru for the week. There will also be an opportunity to join the Tal (rhythm) class led by Pakawaj player as well as Tabla player.

This year the summer school will be held at the Royal Academy of Music from Saturday 24th July –Friday 30th 2010. As part of the annual summer school there will also be a wonderful series of concerts and seminars held at the Southbank Centre which will be open to the public.
