Following my graduation with the Bachelor of Music (Boston University 1963) as well as observing liberal arts education as professor (Brown University 1971-1975), i am now fully committed to an integrated approach to learning that incorporates the study of art and other fields of study. It's not unusual for the ethnomusicologist (MA 1967, PhD at UCLA)! The ethnomusicology course, which I began from UC Berkeley in 1975-1976, is ideally located in the department of music in a College of Letters and Science. I am a fan of pursuing multiple passions as well as seeing the larger image. I really enjoy teaching undergraduates (majors and non-majors) for whom I have written three textbooks-Music in India: The Classical Traditions, Thinking Musically and Music in Japan: Experiencing music, Experimenting with Culture) and graduate students. Then I will alternate between periods of primarily academic tasks and periods of administrative duties (I am Chair of Department of Music from 1983 through 1988, and Dean of undergraduate Advising from 1992 to 1998 and the Chair of College of Letters and Science Deans from 1994 to 1998; Chair of Group of Asian Studies since 1999 and am now back as Chair of Department of Music).
