Tradition
Antara School carries forward the Guru-Shishya parampara — the sacred bond between teacher and student that has transmitted the knowledge of Hindustani classical music across generations for over a thousand years.
Indrajit Banerjee, trained under Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar of the Maihar Gharana, brings this living lineage to students in Austin and worldwide. Each lesson is shaped to the individual student — their musical background, their goals, and their pace.
