MEET THE MASTER

Where it began.

Three frames of a 15-year journey.

Where it began

A childhood in Punjab, learning Tabla at my grandfather's knee. The first compositions I memorized were shabads from the Guru Granth Sahib.

The years of practice

Decades of study under classical masters, performing across North America and India, learning that mastery is repetition married to devotion.

What I pass on

Today I teach students across four continents — beginners finding their first beat, advanced players returning to the source of the tradition.

"ਮੁੱਖ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਹੈ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਗੁਰਮੁਖ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਾਹਿ। ਸ਼ਬਦ ਗਾਵੈ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਸਭਨਾ ਜੀਆ ਕਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ।।"

"The melody and music, and the word of the Shabad are beautiful, when one focuses his meditation on the celestial Lord."

STUDENT STORIES

Real students. Real transformation.

"It has been a blessing for me to receive lessons from Gur. She is an excellent teacher — I could feel her love for music and for humanity. Tabla is one of the greatest instruments on this planet and Gur makes it look so fun and beautiful."

"My Tabla has significantly improved since starting classes. I would like to thank Kor Institute for all of their instruction and hard work for me to become a better Tabla player."

"I see my son growing in confidence in music abilities. The professionalism, knowledge of teachers, the love for the music and teaching can be seen in KOR Institute of Music."

"I have had a wonderful experience learning kirtan, meeting others, and connecting with Gurbani. Working with the teacher was awesome. This feels like I am a part of a new family."
