Guy Beck in India


Hi Debby,

I lived in India for 5 years in the 70s, but nothing could prepare me for the changes that have developed since then--laptops, cellphones, Japanese cars everywhere. But there is still some of the old culture if you look hard enough. I came on a 4 month Performing Arts Fellowship offered by the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS) for more training in Hindustani vocal classical music. I studied this before but now is on a more advanced level.

India is wonderful, especially the people and the culture.

Thanks.

All the best,

Guy
