North Indian Music
MFA Only

The North Indian Music Program delves into the rich Hindustani classical music tradition. Rooted in small ensembles, this music typically features a vocal soloist or a sitar, sarod or flute player who is accompanied by tabla (hand drums) and tambura (a drone instrument). The curriculum helps students learn advanced aural, rhythmic and improvisational skills and includes studies of North Indian theory and sargam. Students and faculty regularly present their work in concerts and other recitals.
