GUWAHATI: A two-day intensive piano workshop on traditional old Bihu tunes will be organized ahead of Bohag Bihu.
The workshop to be conducted on April 10 and April 11 will be held at the ‘Jibakrishna’ platform of Piano Kids. Piano maestro Kushal Krishna Dev Goswami has converted almost 20 selected old Bihu songs to western staff notation with the aim of preserving these precious tunes. People from around the world who are interested in music in all its forms can collect these staff notations from the website - pianokids.in at a fixed nominal cost.
Goswami has made tremendous efforts to recover many of these rare and exquisite traditional melodies before converting them into staff notation so that they can be brought back into the limelight and be given due attention they so rightfully deserve. He expressed hope that the participants in the workshop will be motivated to work in the field of preservation and promotion of our cultural heritage in the future by meticulously learning these old selected Assamese tunes through staff notation, stated a press release.
