About Dipesh
Dipesh is a violin and guitar instructor at Melody Makers with over 18 years of professional teaching experience across all levels of proficiency. His students have a long track record of Distinctions and multiple UAE Topper placements in Trinity College London examinations, with several scoring perfect 100s in violin and guitar.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from the University of North Bengal, Kolkata, alongside formal certification in Indian Classical Music from the University of Allahabad. He has also completed Trinity College London examinations himself, which underpins the structured exam-prep system his students are trained in.
As a performing musician, Dipesh served as a violinist with the Darjeeling Orchestra, then spent two years with the Annapurna Chamber Orchestra in Kathmandu, collaborating with musicians from a wide range of cultural and artistic backgrounds. That international ensemble experience flows directly back into his teaching: students benefit from a teacher who has actually played in live orchestral and chamber settings, not just taught from a textbook.
He also brings hands-on experience in music recording, which lets him integrate modern recording and production methodologies into his lessons. Advanced students who want to record their own playing, work with click tracks or understand how their tone translates to a microphone get a teacher who can coach both sides of the craft.
His classroom style balances strong technical command (bow hold, intonation, tone production, vibrato on violin; technique, theory and right-hand control on guitar) with refined musical interpretation and confident performance skills. The result, year after year: students who pass with Distinction, perform with confidence, and stay with him for many years.
