Pre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In StockFormat : Sheet music + Audio access The Sitar has been popular since the 1960s. Since that time it has always had a considerable mystique among musicians. It also has an undeserved reputation for being difficult to play. This book/audio set cuts though themystique and misapprehensions and presents the material in a simple fashion that is easily understood. Learning The Sitar begins with basic background information including a discussion of Indian music the history of the instrument the parts and other important terms. It then moves on to basic exercises and finally finishes with some simple compositions in Bilawal Kalyan and Kafi. This is covered in a mix of staff notation aswell as raditional Indian Sargam notation. This book includes access to online audio.
