Saptak School

At the Saptak School of Music one learns not just the fundamentals of Hindustani Classical Music but also a feel for the finer aspects of appreciating subtle nuances honing aesthetic sensibilities and learning how to be a performer and a listener. Starting out in 1981 with 77 learners the school today has more than 250 learners on its rolls. In the fledgling years when Saptak was looking for premises to start the classes it was Shri Himmatbhai Kapasi Managing Trustee of Vidyanagar High School (Usmanpura Ahmedabad) who readily offered the school's premises for Saptak's classes. The tradition continues even today. At 5 pm every evening the school is filled with the strains of the sitar sarangi violin and flute the resonating beats of the tabla and pakhawaj and swaras reverberating in the air.
