The East-West School of Music, directed by Acharya Roop Verma, had its beginnings at Ananda Ashram in 1978. Inspired by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati to fulfill the vision of East-West unity through the arts, the school is dedicated to promoting music as a medium to experience and express the relationship between outer sound vibration and our inner being. Through this direct contact, deep states of healing, creativity and spiritual awareness arise, leading to better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
For several years, the East-West School of Music has been
offering ongoing monthly classes in North Indian Vocal Music
and Tabla. Upcoming: Regular classes in instrumental Music
with special focus on Sitar, in the master-pupil oral tradition
at its best, with master Sitarist Acharya Roop Verma.
Special workshops and courses with Ashram and guest teachers
are scheduled seasonally, providing instruction in both Eastern
and Western music.
In addition, there are regular concerts featuring classical
Indian music as well as music from other traditions.
