  1. I like the great help you are doing for all the good people who appreciate your work. Long may you continue to help those like me who need the aspiration to learn music. Many thanks.

    Please can I have your e-mail address. Thanks

  2. Can you lead me to some “English/Western notation” on the quote for this piece?
    I know, it’s a little lazy not to invest some time in being able to read the original, but… I can barely read western notation as it is! 🙂

  3. What does the space in the notation R gR mean? (Space between R and g). Similarly what does it mean when there is no space between the notes
