# How do I find a good kanjira teacher?

 Updated 5 November 2026

 

To find a good kanjira teacher, or guru, look for one who can tell you who they learned from. From your first lesson, a good teacher checks how you hold the frame in your left hand, thumb above the rim. On KalaSudha, each teacher's lineage is on their profile. Pick one yourself, or ask us to match you.

Lessons are live and online, from £30 / $30 an hour, set by each teacher. If you have played before, your teacher first reviews where you stand. Where enough learners sign up, we also bring workshops and summer camps near them. [Ask about kanjira lessons in the Academy](/en-ca/academy).
