The Aesthetics of Indian Classical Music on Mohan Veena
In this interactive, live session I will break down what made me conceptualize the Mohan Veena.
How and why I chose the Western Guitar to transform it into a harmonious instrument of Indian Classical melody, and the true story and secrets behind this radical transformation.
Come join us to learn:
1. How I came up with the inspiration for the Mohan-Veena
2. My primary considerations for this adaption
3. The modifications required to the Guitar
4. Furthermore, how to perform on this instrument
I will be taking a Q&A session near the end of the presentation, where I would be happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions.
This masterclass is for serious students of Indian Classical Music who wish to understand how to push the boundaries of creative thought, way beyond what the instrument allows you to.

Born in a respected music legacy family, the Bhatts have dedicated over 300 years to keep Indian Music pulsate and prosper.
This heredity played a pivotal role in defining Vishwa Mohan's musical endeavours. However, it was his extraordinary talent that at the age of 17, he developed interest in the Western Guitar and tuned it to incredibly rich Indian harmonies.
