The violin playing techniques are clearly explained in the video tutorials. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to take the Online violin lessons if one is looking to make quick progress." - Steve Tomlinson, London, UK

“I’ve been a student of Karthik’s for the past six months, been following his channel for over a year now though. A virtuoso performer himself with a wide gamut of bowing and fingering techniques, lending flexibility to play almost any style of music, he has a strong foundation in the Indian Carnatic music. Apart from being talented in performance, he’s got the ability to impart his techniques in a lucid manner and is a very patient Guru who pushes you to achieve perfection. Choosing samples of greats like M.S. Gopalakrishnan, L.Shankar, V.S Narasimhan, Karthik urges me to play by ear and learn their techniques. I hope to have a long time association with him and learn as much music as I can. ” – Sarathram Subbaram, Netherlands
