DESCRIPTION:
"Good for beginning western muso's" according to Amazon Customer. A clearly written book for the budding sitarist. Written by a Westerner for Westerners, it has suited this early stage of my sitar journey. If you have a guitar background, then this will make learning the sitar much quicker and the western notation helps as you get the hang of the sargam system. The C. "It is clear and easy to understand" according to Peter Morin. This is a well written and informative text. It is especially helpful as reference and guide a being a relatively new sitar player (2 years). I do not live near my teacher. It is clear and easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the sitar and India Classical Music. Thank you Jo. "Five Stars" according to Rex Bergeron. A great guide for every beginning sitar student.
