Born in 1982 Rajrupa Sen started taking Sarode lessons at the age of five. Over the years she learnt the nuances of Indian classical music from the renowned teachers of the Ustd. Md. Ameer Khan School of Instrumental Music. She was especially groomed to a musician with the affectionate and intensive musical guidance of

Currently she is taking training on advanced study of music making and expressions from the eminent sitar maestro Prof. Sanjoy Bandopadhyay.
