Technique is essential, but the real journey is learning to listen to emotion, silence, and the space between notes. I guide learners to blend discipline with imagination, helping them find their own honest voice on the piano while staying rooted in the soul of Indian classical music." > > — Deepak Shah ## Discography Explore the musical journey through albums, singles, and live recordings Filter by type: All 6 Album 2 EP 1 Single 3 Showing 6 of 6 releases [ ](/en-gb/ep/norwich-ragas-deepak-shah-kala-festival-2025-deepak-shah) [ ](/en-gb/ep/norwich-ragas-deepak-shah-kala-festival-2025-deepak-shah) EP ### [Norwich Ragas: Deepak Shah (Kala Festival 2025)](/en-gb/ep/norwich-ragas-deepak-shah-kala-festival-2025-deepak-shah) 5 tracks Deepak Shah plays Hindustani ragas on grand piano, live at The Assembly House, Norwich, for Kala Festival 2025: Raag Yaman in alap, jod and jhala, Puriya Dhanashree, and a closing devotional.
