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.
