On this auspicious day of Vijayadasami, I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book:
Bansuri Blueprint: A Structured Approach to Mastering the Indian Flute 🎶
This book has been written as a companion guide to the PRSSV examinations (UK). PRSSV offers a globally recognised education curriculum, providing a formal certification pathway in Indian music and dance.
I am deeply grateful to the many individuals who have supported and contributed to this initiative:
🙏 Dr. Frances Shepherd, founder of PRSSV, for graciously granting permission to use the PRSSV syllabus as the framework for this book.
🙏 Professor Purnendra Jain and Dr. Jill Scarfe, for their time and insightful feedback on the manuscript.
🙏 Pandit Himanshu Nanda ji, for his invaluable guidance in my musical journey and encouragement in my writing.
🙏 Shen Flindell, who introduced PRSSV to Australia, pioneered its implementation by guiding many Tabla students through the qualification pathway, and coordinated both theory and practical exams.
🙏 My students, who enthusiastically tried out the compositions included in the book.
🙏 And finally, my family, for their unconditional love and support in all the initiatives I pursue.
The book is available on Amazon Store worldwide. I look forward to sharing this book with the wider community and hope it serves as a valuable resource for students of the bansuri worldwide. 🌿🎵
