Anoushka Shankar : (5) " I’ve been to the Grammy’s several times for my past nominations and it has always a fun experience. " - Anoushka Shankar " My father taught me to play the sitar when I was seven years old. He and his elder disciples oversaw my teaching from the beginning, looking after my scale work, the poor things. " - Anoushka Shankar " I would write songs, inspired by my baby, but then I could tell that my baby was also responding to the music. It was just kind of an amazing musical experience. " - Anoushka Shankar " My memories of mealtimes are a real bleed of music and food. Music never really stopped in the music room, because everyone would move out to the table with their sitars. " - Anoushka Shankar " My father had a sitar made for me that was half the size of a normal one. " - Anoushka Shankar
