Music

I play the guitar and keyboard, and do a bit on thevocals too. I've undergone training in both Carnatic (South Indian classical)and Western music. I'm more familiar with Western music and theory,though I'm still in touch with the basics of Carnatic music. To readabout some music theory, take a look into my MusicPage. I've finally completed writing the last chapter on"Finding and guessing chords". Hope you like it!

I am also part of an Indian music band, basedin Columbus, called "Sangam".Click on the linkto know more about it.
