Pravin Godkhindi is a flautist born into a family of musicians. He hails from Dharwad, which has given many great musicians, such as Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal and Pt. Kumar Gandharva. His first and only guru for flute is his father, Pt. Venkatesh Godkhindi, a vocalist and bansuri artiste. Pravin began playing a small flute at the age of three and, after early hours of rigorous riyaz under his father's guidance, gave his first public concert at the age of six. His quest for a deeper knowledge of layakari brought him to Vidwan Anoor Ananth Krishna Sharma, a mridangam artiste who guides him on the deeper aspects of laya and layakari.
