This is the second semester of a performance course in the North Indian sitar. Students who have not taken the first semester but play any musical instrument are permitted to join. Principles of composition and improvisation will be explored in practice and supplemented by readings and listening. The class gives a group performance at the end of the semester.

The Music Room, 812 Williams Hall, is available for practice at all times other than times of scheduled classes. The tabla class meets on M 5-8. The instructor is Aqeel Bhatti. The Intermediate Sitar class meets W 3-6. There may be classes in the music room TR 3-4:30, but if you want to practice at that time, I will open my office 810 for you. |
