# How do I find a good santoor teacher?

 Updated 5 November 2026

 

To find a good santoor teacher, or guru, look for one who can tell you who they learned from. From your first lesson, a good teacher checks that your grip stays loose, so each mallet bounces off the strings. 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 santoor lessons in the Academy](/en-in/academy).
