Send us a textIn conversation with Anushka 'Nush' Lewis, contemporary harpist, music education innovator, and academic facilitator at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai.Nush's journey defies conventional paths in Indian music. From accidentally discovering the harp at KM Music Conservatory to releasing three critically acclaimed EPs and opening for The Cinematic Orchestra, she's carved out a unique space as one of India's rare contemporary harpists. But her impact extends far beyond performance: recognizing fundamental gaps in India's music education ecosystem, she founded OffSet Education in 2017, launched India's first music education podcast, and built a 300+ member community of educators nationwide. Today, as Academic Facilitator at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai, India's first campus of the prestigious UK institution, she's bridging the gap between traditional music pedagogy and global industry standards, mentoring the next generation of producers and sound engineers at a fraction of international costs.In this episode, we explore Nush's evolution from performing at festivals like Ziro and Adelaide Fringe to pioneering structured music education in India, unpack how OffSet Education is addressing systemic challenges through community-driven solutions, gender politics in the music industry and discover why Abbey Road Institute's arrival in Mumbai represents a pivotal moment for India's music industry.Join us for a delightful conversation about artistry, education, and the transformation of India's music landscape - from grassroots communities to global institutions.For more on OffSet Education, visit www.offsetlive.in.
