Bhatkhande Music Institute Facilities Details

Bhatkhande Music Institute, Lucknow – Faculty

Bhatkhande Music Institute, now known as Bhatkhande Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, boasts a distinguished faculty renowned for expertise in Hindustani classical music, dance, and performing arts. Bhatkhande Music Institute was established in 1926, where the institute's teaching staff combines academic qualifications with deep-rooted gharana traditions, emphasizing practical mastery over theoretical instruction. Faculty members often hold PhDs, perform at national levels, and contribute to research, fostering an environment where students receive personalized guru-shishya guidance.

Faculty Qualifications and Experience

Most faculty possess advanced degrees like PhDs or M.Phil in musicology, alongside certifications from institutions such as Prayag Sangeet Samiti or Sangeet Natak Akademi.
Many have 10–30 years of industry experience, including performances at All India Radio, Doordarshan, Tansen Samaroh, and international festivals, with some earning accolades like Padma awards from past luminaries.
Current professors like Dr. Srishti Mathur serve as deans and heads, blending teaching with administrative roles and publications on ragas or talas.

Student-Faculty Ratio

The institute maintains a favorable student-faculty ratio of approximately 10:1, enabling intensive one-on-one training sessions essential for vocal and instrumental proficiency.
This low ratio supports small class sizes, particularly in practical labs for tabla, sitar, or kathak, allowing tailored feedback during rehearsals and evaluations.

Teaching Methods

Instruction follows the guru-shishya parampara, integrating rote learning of compositions (bandishes), improvisation (alap, taan), and theoretical analysis using Bhatkhande's notation system.
Methods include live demonstrations, ensemble practices, stage simulations, and modern aids like recordings for self-assessment, with assessments via practical exams and viva voce.
Workshops with visiting artists and field trips to cultural sites enhance experiential learning.
