I guess there was some discussion on Indian classical music sometime ago.
I am not sure if anybody gave out any list of schools in the U.S that offer
related courses. I am looking for courses offered on this subject. My
personal quest has led to a few namely Washington St. Univ. (at Seattle),
Pennsylvania St. Univ. and others.
I feel usenet is a great way to find out more. If anybody could email me
information regarding
1)The School (this info is more than enough, I can possibly find the
rest at our library)
2)Courses (general names would do)
3)Contact person (specialising in teaching or generally interested)
Thanks in advance

Washington State University is in Pullman , Wash and not in Seattle as mentioned above. The Univ you are referring to in Seattle is probably University of Washington. Being a Wash. St Univ. alumunus, I'm personally not aware of such courses, but then again that doesn't mean anything. S. Sridhar ....!tektronix!spy!sridhar

Univ. of California, Berkeley has a course offered by Professor Bonnie Wade, who has authored two excellent books and who lived and studied in India. The course will be offered aain during the 1986-7 academic year. Ali Akbar College of Music in Marin County (San Rafael, CA) offers the best instruction in North Indian music, from a performing, rather than ethnomusicological standpoint. In San Francisco, G.S. Sachdev has a school for bamboo flute (bansuri). Professor Nazir Jairazbhoy, author of the book The Ragas of North India, is at UCLA. There is instruction in South Indian music at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. The Bay Area music scene for Indian Music is quite excellent - numerous concerts including the festival next weekend. _______________ Bay the way, is the author of the inquiry the Das of Corvallis who is the co-inventor of the Sangita music synthesizer for classical Indian music? I have read your paper and there are some interesting questions to discuss - perhaps on the net - about designing an electronic music synthesizer for Indian music. Linda Seltzer
