“Hearing Indian music … was an experience more magical than almost any in the world. One is in the presence of creation.”
~ Yehudi Menuhin (On his first trip to India in 1951)

OPENING THE VOICE WITH RAGAS
Mondays July 21 - August 25, 2025 @7pm
Learn to open the voice while you immerse in the ancient meditative art of raga, a musical science from India based on the cycles of nature and evoking a vast array of emotions and moods, or "coloring" of the mind. Indian music teaches listening in a whole new way. Vocal music is considered the foundation of all music in this tradition.
Classes focus on the intoxicating vocal compositions of Maestro Ali Akbar Khan (with whom Megan Yalkut, the instructor, has studied since 1994). Each class includes sargam (the Indian solfege) exercises, explanations of raga and Indian music styles, and practice in the rhythmic cycles.
All levels welcome. Please indicate your level when you register.
