Habib Khan Saraswati Temple and Gurukul

Pandit Habib Khan Saraswati Temple and Gurukul is commited to providing a conservatory in which the classical music traditions of India can continue to flourish in a modern crosscultural context. Indian Classical music has no written form and hence is taught in a traditional ?Gurukul? setting. The ?Gurukul way? involves a high degree of commitment, and dedication between the guru and the shishya (teacher and student). Opportunities are offered for the students to learn Indian Classical music as well as orchestral compositions where Indian Classical music is blended with instruments and voices from around the world. They are given an opportunity to perform on stage with musicians hailing from different parts of the world. The exposure of students to this form of music allows them to gain an appreciation of not only the classical music of India but to music of different generations and genres.
