Book Description
Raga Yaman is known to be the first raga taught to students of Indian classical music. This is why I choose to make a book that is on this specific raga. The masters that teach feel that the knowledge of raga Yaman will help one understand all the other ragas. This is a book that is focused on raga Yaman and includes most of the tals of Indian classical music that pertains to Khayal, Dhrupad, and light music. This book's main focus is showing one how to practice correctly with a raga. All the important aspects of Yaman are expressed and shared within this book. All the alankars / paltas / sargam exercises, songs, and merukhand are written for raga Yaman only. To practice correctly, one must practice with a rhythm cycle (taal). Indian classical music in it's entirety is the expression of raga & tala together. This is why the importance of tals are taught and shared within this book. This book is for the vocalists and instrumentalist of the string and wind categories. All my other books are thaat based.

Book Description
Winner of the James Tait Black Prize for Biography An autobiographical exploration of the role and meaning of music in our world by one of India's greatest living authors, himself a vocalist and performer. Amit Chaudhuri, novelist, critic, and essayist, is also a musician, trained in the Indian classical vocal tradition but equally fluent as a guitarist and singer in the American folk music style, who has recorded his experimental compositions extensively and performed around the world. A turning point in his life took place when, as a lonely teenager living in a high-rise in Bombay, far from his family’s native Calcutta, he began, contrary to all his prior inclinations, to study Indian classical music. Finding the Raga chronicles that transformation and how it has continued to affect and transform not only how Chaudhuri listens to and makes music but how he listens to and thinks about the world at large. Offering a highly personal introduction to Indian music, the book is also a meditation on the differences between Indian and Western music and art-making as well as the ways they converge in a modernism that Chaudhuri reframes not as a twentieth-century Western art movement but as a fundamental mode of aesthetic response, at once immemorial and extraterritorial. Finding the Raga combines memoir, practical and cultural criticism, and philosophical reflection with the same individuality and flair that Chaudhuri demonstrates throughout a uniquely wide-ranging, challenging, and enthralling body of work.
