Item description from seller

VERY GOOD+, Clean, no marks. Lightly used if at all. Stapled binding is secure. 37 pages : illustrations, music ; 30 cm. . . . . . . A concise instructional book aimed at beginners who want to learn the basics of the sitar. The book is 37 pages long and focuses on providing a working knowledge of the instrument, including fundamental techniques, tuning methods, and introductory exercises. Rao, a renowned Indian-born American musician and prot?g? of Ravi Shankar, wrote this manual to make learning the sitar accessible, especially for Western students during a period of growing interest in Indian music. The book covers step-by-step self-instruction, studies, and exercises, with particular emphasis on the practical aspects of playing and maintaining the sitar. Its straightforward approach and clear explanations helped the book gain popularity, going through multiple printings and contributing to the spread of Indian classical music in the West.
