I am comfortable teaching both beginner and intermediate/advanced students. Although there are differences in my methodology depending on the student's ability, there are two things I constantly focus on with every student: the Technical and Theoretical elements of music.
Beginners will be taught the CAGED guitar system so that they can learn and play a range of basic chord shapes and switch between them (the Technical element). This will enable them to play hundreds of popular songs within a few weeks! After they have gained this ability, they will be taught simple music theory concepts such as the Circle of 5th and Circle of 4th, as well as the ability to read sheet music (the Theoretical element). Combining these two elements together, students can develop a more holistic understanding of music and grow as musicians.
For intermediate/advanced students, my methodology will vary depending on the student's musical goals and interests. I can teach a variety of genres ranging from rock, pop, metal, Bollywood, jazz, RnB, and country.
I have been teaching music for the past 5 years to students ranging from the ages of 7 to 65 and have found it be a wholly enriching experience! My timings are very flexible and I can give lessons at my residence, the student's residence (provided it is within 5 km of my residence), and via webcam.

Perfect! Arpan is a very sincere and knowledgeable teacher.
He is a very fast learner who is constantly inquisitive about various aspects of music theory. Classes with him go by like a breeze!
Perfect! Arpan is an incredible bass and guitar teacher. I reached out to Arpan after discontinuing guitar lessons 2 - 2.5 years ago.
He is an expert in music theory and has been extremely patient with this slow learner to achieve my goals.
My lessons with Arpan has been over Zoom/Skype. The learning experience has been better than I could have imagined.
I strongly recommend Arpan.
He is a very enthusiastic and patient learner. It is also fun to talk about various non-music related things with him since he is a very friendly person. Teaching him has been a pleasure!
Arpan is an extremely talented musician who has a very in depth understanding of his craft. Most musicians tend to fall under categories of either being very good songwriters or being extremely good at their instruments however Arpan had managed to go past that threshold and find a good understanding of applying his skills to his songwriting as well. As a teacher he would be able to to provide you this knowledge and break it down for your good. As a bandmate and friend I've learnt a lot of things from Arpan and I assure you he is a the best of the lot.
I had a really good experience. I have to admit that when I began I was unsure how classes would be, but they have been exceedingly good. I am really enjoying learning the guitar and have had an excellent experience.
Arpan is very patient and supportive, I’m so glad I found him. He's passionate and definitely teaches with his heart.
He’s always punctual and takes the time to be encouraging; makes you comfortable, regardless of your skill level.
I would highly recommend Arpan to anyone just starting out with guitar!
I've been getting lessons with Arpan for more than 10 months now and I have improved a lot. Arpan is a very professional and has immense music knowledge. I could easily apply the musical concepts on the songs that I already liked. Communicate your goals with him and he'll accordingly modify his approach.
I've known Arpan for a long time. He's always been really passionate about music. It's always a pleasure to see him play, discuss music with him and now learn to play from him. Learning from him is super fun as there's so much to talk about music with him. I would highly recommend him!
When you care about something from your heart and soul it shows! Arpan is extremely passionate about music and his dedication to it shows not only through his own creations but also through his love for teaching music. He is talented, patient and most importantly fully committed towards his art. What more can you ask for in a teacher!

Highly recommended. super talented, patient, hard working teacher. 5/5. Thank you so much for taking me from a complete amateur to a technically sound and confident musician!
I took lessons from Arpan for about an year and that's when I grew the most as a guitar-player. He helped me get a hold of the basics but also tailored the classes to my personal preferences and taught me songs and skills I wanted to learn. He is well versed in many different genres from rock to jazz to blues
