Vichitra Veena Tutor
User Comments
We now have the Vichitra Veena Tutor #1 ready for shipment. We are very proud of its content. It is a first of its kind with a very thorough coverage of the basics. The tutor is authored by Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish and his son Shri Ashwin Batish.
The goal of this tutor is to give the Vichitra Veena a new lease on life. It is pathetic that it's practitioners can today be counted on the fingers of your hands. Although students are gradually picking this instrument up for study, many get discouraged due to lack of direction resulting in this instrument ending up in a closet or in a glass case to be visually admired. We aim to change this and this tutor is the first step! Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish has been actively playing this instrument for over 60 years. As a vocalist he has a special insight into its workings. He shares this with you in this, and upcoming tutors.
Here are some of the highlights .....

We would like to start of by saying that Children's music has been on the top of our want lists for a while now. Jim Marshall and Bob Reid have been great friends over the years. We have some Batish kids that have grown up on their music. So we are very proud to introduce them in our catalog. Their titles are really really good! My 4 year old son was instantly listening and raving about the CDs when Jim dropped them off. Listening to these songs will make your child actively participate and dance or sing along. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

We have known Michael since the 70s. He would often study the Tabla at the Batish Institute when Zakir Hussain, a great friend and ustad of the tabla, would come and teach some of Ashwin Batish's tabla students. Michael's interests in rhythm were obvious. He latter got interested in the Steel drums and has been a very strong advocate and a voice for culture in Santa Cruz. This is his music. With many more mutual friends that perform with him on this CD it is a very refreshing experience not just for steel drum lovers but also for World music lovers that would like to hear the Steel drums in a global context. The steel drums come alive with Saxaphone by Gary Regina. Check this CD out!
