Dr Sunder's Music

Musical tutelage 
Dr.Sunder got introduced to music at a very young age by his mother Parvathy. He attended music classes in Chembur, Bombay way back in 1971, tutored by Sri.Vaidyanatha Iyer. At one stage he was juggling time with his classes in Bengali music, drawing, Hindi and Marathi , while not letting go of the first rank in his class. Meanwhile he even found time to learn the Bengali language and attend spiritual classes at the Chinmaya mission. He later came under the tutelage of Palghat Sri T.S.Anantharaman under whom he had personalised training. He also had the fortune to learn a few songs under Vidushi T.Brinda during her sojourns at Bombay. When he joined the SIES college in Sion, Bombay in 1976 he learnt for a brief period under Vidwan Trichy Swaminatha Iyer. By now his interest in music was fairly well entrenched and he had won almost all the prizes in music competitions in Bombay.
