he formed a small band.
Pravin’s decision to start studying
Jazz guitar came about guitar in his Sophmore year of High School. At that point he was also singing and playing drums as
well. Pravin was influenced by a friend, who was attending Montclair University for Jazz Studies. Pravin took an introductory
lesson with Professor Gene Bertoncini, from William Patterson and then resumed regular lessons with Will Genovese. Pravin
is now studyuing with Dave Stryker and has been accepted at Jersey City University where he will pursue courses in Jazz Studies.

sessions at the Crossroads, and performs with a big band at a local retirement home every other Thursday. Along with several
of his own groups. Pravin also teaches basic to intermediate level guitar.
