Introduction to North Indian Classical Vocal Music, July 7-31 Top
Mondays & Thursdays, 5:30-6:30 pm
Instructor: Prof. L. K. Pandit
Fee: $295
Location: Recital Hall, 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd.
Information: Shivaji Kaul, (262) 377-4605
Prof. Laxman Krishnarao Pandit, the legendary vocalist of the revered Gwalior school of music, offers a course that combines theory and practice and is designed to increase appreciation for North Indian vocal music. Live demonstrations will be a highlight. The class meets twice a week for an hour, and covers the history of North Indian classical music and an introduction to musical terms and styles of singing. Students will be introduced to alankar, sargam, raga, chota khayal, bada khyal, tarana, alaap and taan. Private lessons will be available to participants by arrangement with the instructor. This course is open to anyone with an interest in music; no prior experience necessary.
While in residence, Prof. Pandit will also offer a concert on Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are available from the Peck School of the Arts box office, (414) 229-4308.
For Mr. Pandit, a renowned vocalist and teacher of classical music at Delhi University for more than two decades, music is life and tradition, the soul. It is his strict classicism and refusal to compromise with what is popular that has earned him his reputation as one of the only true representatives of his gharana, or school. Born in 1934, Mr Pandit is the fifth in an unbroken lineage of legendary musicians. His father Padma Bhushan Pt Krishnarao Shankar Pandit trained him from early childhood in khayal. tappa, tarana, and thumri. Prof. Pandit has an unparalleled style of singing. He follows the Gwalior gharana format faithfully, and develops ragas in the traditional Ashtaang gayaki, a systematic eight-fold elaboration of the raga. He combines sound knowledge of ragas with masterly handling of rhythm, which makes climaxing at the "sam" a unique experience each time.
Laxman Pandit is one of the few musicians today who can render the difficult genre of tappa with ease and fluidity. Tappa is the most taxing form of singing and demands instant, protracted moves up and down the octave, which calls for constant innovation, apart from superb breath-holding capacity.
Prof. Pandit has received many awards for his services to the world of music, including the Ustad Hafiz Ali Award conferred by Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001.
Excerpts of Prof. Pandit's music can be heard at

Learn new and traditional methods of pattern resists for dye baths. Clamp, fold, pleat, stitch, wrap and encase objects to create unusual patterns in cloth. Re-dye the fabric several times to achieve layers of color and patterns. Even better... use both fiber reactive dyes and vat dyes to create gorgeous additional colors and halos caused by chemical reactions between the dyes.
Indigo Dyeing , July 11-13
Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 9 am - 3 pm
Instructor: Joann Engelhart
Fee: $180 (includes all materials)
Location: Fibers Studio (Room 478), Art Building, 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd.
Create beautifully patterned deep blue, medium blue or cobalt blue fabrics by using shibori methods of folding, clamping, pleating stitching, and pole-wrapping. Using both fiber reactive dyes and vat dyes enables you to achieve blue with yellow, tan and other colors.
