I have been learning under Shri Venugopal S Hegde ji for almost a year now and it has been a beautiful journey. Venugopal sir is a great artist and a teacher. He has been a great inspiration and my playing has improved a lot since i started. His humility portrays his knowledge in music and willingness to share it with the student. Gratitude fills me when I realise how lucky I am to have such a wonderful guru.
