"Music is not something you learn — it is something you become. My goal is to help every student transform themselves into a true artist." — Shirish Chandolikar
Mr. Shirish Chandolikar is the heart and soul of Sai Kala Sangeet Classes — one of Dewas's oldest and most celebrated music academies. With over four decades of dedication to the art of music, he has shaped the musical journeys of hundreds of students across Madhya Pradesh and beyond.
A holder of a Master's degree in Music from the prestigious Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Navi Mumbai, Mr. Chandolikar brings both the depth of classical education and the richness of lived experience to every lesson he teaches.
What sets him apart is not just his technical mastery — it is his unwavering belief that every student can become a professional artist. He doesn't teach music as a hobby; he trains artists for the stage.
As an internationally acclaimed performer, he has taken his art to Dubai, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia — carrying the classical heritage of Indian music to the world stage. This same passion for performance is what he instills in each of his students.
