Jaykishan, my friend from a country I’ve never visited, but nobody who follows my blog will be surprised; music flows through my writing, and this is a very special time.
An Editor’s Pick! Congratulations my friend.
Jaykishan grew up in a family to which music is a blessing from God. Music is hereditary to him. He has learned music from his grandfather Shri Mohanlal Ramdasji Kapdi and father Shri Hariharbhai. He has an experience, how to teach music. He is “Upantya Visharad” in “Tabla” (rhythm).
His grandfather Shri Mohanlal Ramdasji Kapdi has established a non professional music class “Shree Saurashtra Sangeet Vidyalay” in 1935 in the Bhavnagar city-364001, Gujarat State, India, to spread & serve music.
This book is organized into three parts.
Part one addresses the musical terms generally used in vocal & instrumental Indian music. Topics covered include Understanding Indian and Western musical notation method, Signs of Notes used in Indian music, Classical & Non-Classical Indian musical forms, Construction of “Thaat”, Construction of “Raga”, and description of 155 Indian classical “Ragas”.
Part two addresses the musical terms generally used in the Indian rhythm. Topics covered include Understanding the Indian rhythm method, signs of rhythmic words and terms, tempo, “Gharana” (different schools of Indian rhythm), and descriptions of 60 Indian rhythms.
Part three covers a spiritual emancipation through music &“Nad-Shashtra” (Acoustic).
I hope this book will open a new window in the field of Indian music and will be useful for personal study and in the field of education

I introduced Jaykishan because he’d been so supportive of me and my books, and now he’s taken on so much more.

I find they usually cooperate AFTER I’ve made a comment, but I’ve just tried to like Rudders “About” page, which is fascinating and amusing as you would expect, and I couldn’t.
Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations Jaykishan for being an Amazon Editor’s Pick. You truly deserve the distinction. One of the things I cherish about being an Indie Author is meeting fellow authors and gathering friends around the world. I am honored to call Jaykishan a friend. He is one of the most supportive members of the writing community I have encountered since venturing into the world of publishing. His generosity has no bounds and his love of music shines through in every conversation. If you share his love of music, and have an interest in expanding your knowledge into the Treasures of Indian Music, you really should give this book a try.

It’s interesting that music from the east is mostly in a minor key and in the west the major key is more familiar. It takes me a while to tune in.

I found that, Lucinda, but the visual video made it possible to listen and enjoy it.

I became more familiar with it when we ran a couple of concerts for an Indian musician called Bapi Leery. Running the recording and sound equipment we were required to attend the very long sound checks but the 4 hour concerts each night. Most of the music we heard when living in Libya was also in a minor key.

That’s very interesting, Lucinda.
Where were you living when you were working with the concert organisers?
I only associate you with Africa and Spain.
