The sitar has an undeserved reputation for being difficult to play. This cuts though the mystique and presents the material in a simple fashion. Begins with basic background information, including a discussion of Indian music, the history of the instrument, parts, and important terms. It moves on to basic exercises and finishes with some simple compositions in Bilawal, Kalyan and Kafi. Done in a mix of staff notation and traditional Indian Sargam notation.
