Bharati Vaishampayan - As A Guru

As A Guru

A true performer not only entertains with her music, but also becomes a Guru for the next generation for the spread of her art. Dr. Bharati has successfully worked for the spread of Indian music on various fronts.

Dr. Bharati is an able guide for Ph.D. students. So far 7 students have completed their Doctorate in Music under her guidance.

Dr. Bharati has been involved in the nurture of the Music department of Shivaji University, Kolhapur, since its inception in 1984. She became the Head of the Music department in 1987. What started as a small classroom with a few students has now grown into an institution with various departments and courses on classical as well as folk music. Hundreds of students of this prestigious institution are now successfully pursuing their career in music.

The tradition of music is being continued by Dr. Bharati's next generation under her guidance. Her son Kedar is a post-graduate in Tabla, daughters Meera and Madhura are post-graduates in Vocal music and Sangeet Alankaar, and daughter-in-law Sheetal is a post-graduate in Vocal music.
