Having imbibed primary lessons in music since childhood, Siddhesh received guidance from Sharad Mathkar in Goa. The difficult and lesser-known art of jaltarang playing was taken up by Siddhesh with inspiration from Sharad Mathkar, who personally crafted his first set of jaltarang (a percussive-melodic instrument having a series of ceramic containers filled with different levels of water to give different pitches when struck with sticks).
Siddhesh was later placed under the tutelage of Tulsidas Borkar, renowned harmonium exponent and guru. He gained valuable knowledge about instrumental recitals and classical music from Tulsidas Borkar, which enabled him to present jaltarang recitals, a very rare occurrence in Indian classical music today.
Siddhesh has been the recipient of many scholarships from the Government of India among others. He is presently employed as a classical music teacher at Sharda Sangeet Vidyalaya, Mumbai.
