Initiated into the field of Indian classical music by his father, the renowned musicologist and teacher Pandit N.D.Kashalkar, Arun Kashalkar later received training from Pandit Rajabhau Kogje and Pandit Ram Marathe. The stalwart vocalist and violinist of Gwalior, Jaipur and Agra gharanas, Pandit Gajananrao Joshi guided Arun Kashalkar for several years. The renowned vocalist of Agra gharana, Pandit Babanarao Haldankar also taught Kashalkarji and helped shape his Agra gharana gayaki. Steeped in the traditional `Guru-Shishya` parampara, rigorous riyaz and introspection, Kashalkarji`s gayaki is a blend of Gwalior, Jaipur and Agra styles, with emphasis on the lively and rhythm-oriented style of the Agra gharana. His concerts are known for the essence of this Gharana, which is `nom tom`, `bols`, `taans` of great force and boundless creativity. He also composes his own `bandishes` under the pseudonym of `Rasdaas`. Giving vocal support to their Guru are Pandit Arun Kashalkar's students, Shri Ravindra Parchure and Shri Mukul Kulkarni.
