Geeta Sarabhai Mayor (née Sarabhai; 1922 – 11 March 2011) was an Indian musician, well known for her patronage in music. She was among the first women to play the pakhavaj,[1][2] a traditional barrel-shaped, two-headed drum.[3] She promoted exchanges between Indian and Western music, particularly for bringing Ahmedabad to New York City.[4] During a study stay in New York, she taught Indian music and philosophy to the experimental composer John Cage, in exchange for a course on the theory of Western music.[5] The course included the twelve-tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg.[6] In 1949, Geeta Sarabhai founded the Sangeet Kendra in Ahmedabad, whose mission is to document and promote classical and popular Indian musical traditions.[7][8] Gita was a part-time faculty of music at National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.[9]
