This year, 2019, I moved with my wife to Ashburn, Virginia, USA as Permanent Residents.
Till my departure from India, I have been passionately pursuing my Riyaz on Kheyal, Thumris etc. which was learnt from my Gurus - Pt. Jagdish Prasad and Ustad Ghulam Akbar Khan. Parallely,
I devoted considerable time in practising old Hindi movie songs, mostly by Mohd. Rafi sahib and Manna Dey. Most of my stage performances consisted of light film songs and occasionally Classical too. I had learnt a lot of Nazrul Songs, in Bangla, which are still a treasure for me.
Now, in USA, particularly in Virginia, Hindustani Classicals are practised by large number of people kids and adults included. I have plenty of free time here. So, I am seriously looking for opportunity to teach all that I have learnt to interested pupils.
If any Music School finds me suitable here, I will join. Otherwise, I am looking for students who are ready to come to my place at Ashburn, VA 20147 to take lessons from me. I generally don't get stuck by the clock and try to spend adequate time with my students so that they can do riyaz at their home correctly.
My years and years of sitting with those maestros have given me a treasure which I want to pass on to my students. I am available at 703-994-3541 and email: gopika_sinha@yahoo.com
