The Specialization in North Indian Music 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 to learn advanced aural, rhythmic and improvisational skills and includes studies of North Indian theory and sargam.
At the MFA level, the World Music Performance Program offers two other areas of specialization:
World Music Performance Specialization in AFRICAN MUSIC AND DANCE (MFA)
World Music Performance Specialization in BALINESE AND JAVANESE MUSIC AND DANCE (MFA)
