classical and light music performer. He has given numerous solo flute performances on All India Radio
and National TV network in India and stage shows in Asia, Europe and U.S.A.
Pt. Radha Prasad was born and brought up in India and taught himself to play the bamboo flute at a very
early age. He came to Bombay after hearing the music of Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, India's foremost and
world renowned flutist, and received 18 years of rigorous and comprehensive training provided him with
broad knowledge of Indian classical and folk music with mastery in bamboo flute. In 1990 he was granted
the degree of Master of Arts in Music by "Vrindaban Flute Institute" of Mumbai, India run by Pt. Chaurasia.
The classical bamboo flute music of India is an ancient tradition of India. The bamboo flute has remained
simple with few embellishments and is a wondrous instrument in the hands of a skillful musician. However
it is difficult to obtain a good bamboo flute because there are very few qualified flute makers. For this
reason, Radha Prasad himself makes professional quality bamboo flutes with great precision.
Radha Prasad is an excellent Indian Classical and Folk music teacher. His teaching is not only specialized
in Indian Classical bamboo flute but also in various instruments as Guitar, Violin etc.
