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
