| Welcome to Wonderwall Music Shoppe & Emporium! We are located in the Oak Park Arts District on Harrison Street, near Cuyler and Harrison Streets, one block east of Ridgeland Avenue; just west of downtown Chicago, exit Austin Blvd from I-290. Mapquest. The store's name is derived from the 1968 movie, "WONDERWALL - The Movie". While still with the Beatles, George Harrison was asked to make the soundtrack to the movie. George was already very much into the Indian music and recorded a number of tracks with Indian musicians playing authentic Indian instruments. Some of these artists are world famous today. The movie is very much of the times, a very psychedelic one indeed! Our connection with Indian music. We are professional musicians of Indian classical music who have been performing around Chicago for a number of years with our group, Sandalwood Sitar Music Ensemble. And, we've been dealing in Indian music with our online music store, Sitar Emporium. Combined with our love of the Beatles and other interests, the name "Wonderwall" was the right choice. And, we're on HARRISON Street, 'the coolest place in Oak Park'! **************************** Private Sitar Lessons by Clar Monaco Classically-trained and one of Chicago's most highly respected Sitar Players and Sitar Teacher. Clar's guru of recent years is world renown Indian artist, Pandit Ronu Majumdar of the Maihar Gharana. Pandit Ravi Shankar, also of the same gharana, is one of Ronuji's gurus too. Ronuji recorded at George Harrison's Friar Park's recording studio on "The Chants of India", as well as with numerous top western artists **************************** The Ukulele Club of Oak Park.began meeting at Wonderwall in June of 2007.
