Acknowledgement

The following teachers and musicians are obviously in my mind whom I highly appreciate.

  1. Mr Jiwan Pradhan (Darjeeling), Mr Helmut Ehm (Germany), Mr Kishore Gurung (Kathmandu)), for lending their valuable knowledge of western classical music on guitar - both practically and theoritically.
  2. Mr Oliver (Germany). who guided me through the principles of extended and altered chord vocabulary and their progressions in standard blues and jazz music.
  3. Mr William Matthews (USA), Dr. Mel Carey (USA), Mr Thomas Offermann & Jens Wagner of Duo Sonare (Germany) for sharing their knowledge and experience relating to the musical interpretation and expression on classical guitar playing.
  4. Mr Walter & Mrs Elsa Verdehr of The Verdehr Trio (USA) and Late Mr Jim (USA) for sending me some valuable books on music.
  5. My music companion Late Mr Santosh Singh (Kathmandu) for presenting me with the book "The Harvard Dictionary of Music".
  6. My friend Dhirendra Angdembe (Kathmandu) for offering me the book "The New College Encyclopedia of Music".
  7. My son, Prasham Ojha for guiding me to operate different music soft wares for writing music and also for designing and maintaining this website.
