Excerpts from conversation with Soham-<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Tell us something about how you grew up learning flute?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I belong to a musical family and have been brought up listening and learning classical music. My father Salil Datey himself a great flautist, never left a stone unturned to mould me into what I am and honed my skills to a great extent.<\/p>\n

2. Who is your Guru and how did he become a source of inspiration for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My father is my teacher in every field and then I became disciple of Violinist Pandit Ramesh Tagde<\/strong>. He is a blessing for me. Both guide me in every step of my life whether it is music or any other life event. They are infinite universe of knowledge and I still think I have just taken a spoon or two.<\/p>\n

3. How was your first experience on stage, how it has changed over the years<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n

I had my first show when I was about 9 year old, the first experience I remember so far. I was full of stage fear, but slowly I started loving it, and now being on stage is the most beautiful feeling I can have .<\/p>\n

4. Which genre your flute like to play most which you find more refreshing and appealing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I play both Indian classical music and light Indian music professionally but more soothing and near to heart is the former one. Classical music gives opportunity to explore it deeper and deeper and still barely crossing the surface, thus infinite combinations of beautiful notes is something which fascinates me.<\/p>\n

5. How you see being a flautist as a career opportunity as nowadays technology has driven music into foreign horizons?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Flute stands apart from the technology and still the technology is far away from creating the flute like tone. Yes, the use of flute at industry level is reduced , but not vanished and classical music is still above any other form has retained its beauty as it is. Now other countries are also getting attracted to bamboo flutes instead of metal one, as only bamboo flute can play classical music and is more near to vocal.<\/p>\n
