Vaitari: A musical picture book from Kerala

Amsterdam, Ekagrata Publications 2006

ISBN-13: 978-90-75785-04-3 (ISBN-10: 90-75785-04-6)

This colourful book creates opportunities to enjoy making music together without any prior training in Indian music on the parts of teachers and their pupils. "Making music together" means nothing more or less than using half an hour in a constructive manner without lengthy preparations, equipment, or instruments. In our approach, the use of voice and hands are wholly sufficient to participate; and pictures serve to get children involved and motivate them to draw and paint themselves before or after each lesson. But if time is limited to a single session, teachers are offered plenty to choose from and make those shared moments memorable and enjoyable.

Price (individual orders within India): Rs. 200.-
