Since music was introduced as a subject in many colleges and universities. These are a lot of books in Hindi available in the market on theory and practical both, especially for vocal music. For Instrumental music also, there are books related to historical and theoritical aspect of music available in the market. But there are very few books which highlight the practical aspect of instrumental music, especially in English.
Now a days, a lot of foreign students are learning Indian classical music, especially sitar. But there is no good book about compositions available for them in the market. So, I have decided to write a book in English which will help the foreign students. By the grace of God and the blessings from my Guru Late Prof. Lal Mani Misra, I have successfully completed this book. I hope I will be rewarded for my hard work.
Indian music is mainly based on Rag or melody system. Rag is the fundamental element of Indian music, which is made up of a scale, a mode, shruti, swar, Gamak, grace notes and the embellishments of music. Throughout the ages the education of this Rag system was imparted through indigo enous way called "Guru shishya Parampara" or "Gharanasystem". After in dependence the introduction of music started at schools, colleges and uni versities.

For instrumental (stringed) music also, books related to historical and theoritical aspect are available, but very few books which highlight the practical aspect of stringed instrument especially in English.
Nowadays many foreign students are learning sitar. But there is no good book on compostions (Gat) available for them in the market. So, I decided to write a book in English which will especially help the foreign students.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people whose assistance has contributed in a most important way to this book. My heartiest blessings to my three daughters, Mrs Anuradha Dey, Mrs Ranjana Dhar and Mrs Jaya Basu.
They have contributed their precious time and given me constant moral support. My disciples Shri Anand kumar Mishra, Miss Pratibha Singh and Shri Vijay Kumar Jaiswal have helped me a lot. I particularly appreciate their dedication to this book.
