Sowale
Hindustani classical vocalist and teacher. Learn the art of riyaz, the daily discipline that shapes a musician.
Where Tradition
Meets Voice
Arnav Sowale is a Hindustani classical vocalist whose training under established maestros shapes both his performance and teaching. His approach to each raga balances the discipline of the gharana tradition with an ear for how these forms speak to contemporary listeners.
Through Riyaz With Arnav, he teaches the way he was taught: through close listening, repeated practice, and the gradual internalisation that turns technique into expression. Students learn not just scales and compositions, but how to build a raga from its first note.
With over 1,500 monthly listeners on Spotify, Arnav's recordings are an extension of the same practice he brings to the classroom.

Each recording starts from the raga itself, the way Arnav teaches it in class. No shortcuts, no embellishment for its own sake. Just the raga, unfolding at the pace it asks for.
Open in SpotifyRiyaz is a Practice,
Not a Performance
In the Guru-Shishya tradition, learning happens through presence, through listening, repeating, and slowly internalising what the raga asks for. There are no shortcuts, and the daily practice itself is the point.
Riyaz With Arnav carries this approach into the online format without diluting it. Technology serves the teaching, not the other way around.
