I am trying to build up speed. This is REALLY hard.

Hi, I’m Jeff Starr, a sitar student and filmmaker. Here is a video of me practicing some of my Taans for Raga Yaman.
My goal tonight was to rebuild some of the speed and strength I lost when I was sick with the flu and I took a week off from practicing.
This video is also a really great example of the importance of practicing as you can see my improvement on the last Taan in the video.
I am working to build up speed as my teacher wants me to play between 200 -250 beats per minute (BPM).

Well, thanks to YouTube, I have met many amazing sitar players from all over the world. One of them is Manjit Singh. After he and I chatted a bit he offered to shoot a video talking about his experience learning the sitar on his own and teaching himself.
So, if you want to learn sitar but you can’t find a teacher, let Manjit serve as an inspiration.
Please visit his YouTube channel for the full interview and to watch his other performance videos.

I have been really busy with work and haven’t been able to practice sitar enough. I thought I was doing okay but then I shot this video and realized how by missing even a few days it had set me back in my study.
At my lesson I was playing this Taan and ending 1 beat early. Tonight I kept ending one beat late. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Eventually I figured out that I was adding in a note, but it took me a good 30 min of practice to get there.
So if there is a theme to tonight’s video it’s that I need to practice EVERY DAY. Luckily I was able to recover and get back up to speed, mostly.
