Ganesh Kumar received his initial training on the Mridangam from legendry percussionist Shri T R Hari Hara Sharma and later continued his advanced studies under the guidance of percussion maestro Shri T H Subash Chandran. Upon his advice, Ganesh began to make his primary focus on the Kanjira to master the instrument. Today, Ganesh Kumar achieved greater heights through his spell bounding performances and teachings across the continents.
