# How do I find a good chitraveena teacher?

 Updated 5 November 2026

 

To find a good chitraveena teacher, or guru, look for one who can tell you who they learned from. From your first lesson, a good teacher checks your hold on the gottu, the slide in your left hand. 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 chitraveena lessons in the Academy](/en-lk/academy).
