It is about finding the music naturally within you.
It is about learning how to listen carefully and to fine tune yourself.

“Experience could not be more complete: musically and personally. I’ve been brought to a new understanding of the sound such as of my inner self in the true meaning of Nada Yoga. Virginia and Igino kindly carried me a step further in my path, offering new instruments and tools to open up my vision. All surrounded by an epic and magic environment like Tignale“
“I was very glad I took the opportunity to participate to one of the Retreats of Virginia & Igino. I had taken several Skype lessons with them before but being there in person it made a more complete learning experience. I got a lot out of those few days I was there and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about deepening their understanding of indian classical music and in particular of bansuri playing.”

TEACHER’S BIO
Virginia & Igino
Virginia and Igino studied Dhrupad, the oldest type of north indian classical music, in India under the guidance of the masters Gundecha Brothers, world leaders of the Dhrupad style. They study bansuri flute with Pandit Rajendra Prasanna.
They have performed internationally in several classical and innovative musical projects and have been teaching Indian classical music worldwide for over 10 years.
By combining their knowledge of western pedagogy and the Indian system of oral tradition, they have created a unique way of teaching that makes it possible for everyone to access this ancient art form.
The retreat is open for students in bansuri flute and voice. If you wish to attend the retreat with other instruments please write us for further information.
