AuthorsWiki : Apart from writing, what is your occupation for livelihood?
Sadakat Aman Khan : Apart from writing, I work as a Business Analyst and Salesforce Administrator. In my role, I combine analytical thinking with problem-solving to help organisations streamline processes and make better decisions. Much like my writing, my professional work is guided by curiosity, attention to detail, and a desire to understand systems, whether in music, technology, or business.
AuthorsWiki : Tell us something about your first book.
Sadakat Aman Khan : My first book is Basics of Harmonium. I wrote it to help beginners understand the fundamentals of playing the harmonium while staying connected to the roots of Indian classical music. It focuses on the core techniques, exercises, and approaches that I found useful in my own learning, and my aim was to make it simple and approachable for anyone starting their journey with the instrument.
AuthorsWiki : Would you like to tell us about your published books?
Sadakat Aman Khan : Yes, I would love to. My first book is Basics of Harmonium, which I wrote to help beginners learn the fundamentals of the harmonium while staying connected to the roots of Indian classical music. My second book, 10 Thaats in Harmonium, focuses on teaching the ten basic thaats of Indian classical music and how to play them on the harmonium, helping learners understand the foundation of ragas and their structures. My third book, Gharanas of Indian Music, explores the histories, traditions, and philosophies of India’s classical music gharanas. Through my books, I aim to share both the practical and cultural aspects of music, inspiring learners and enthusiasts to connect more deeply with this art form.
AuthorsWiki : Where did you get the inspiration for publishing books?
Sadakat Aman Khan : My inspiration for publishing books came from my own journey of learning and exploring music. I wanted to create resources that I wish I had when I was starting out, guides that are practical, clear, and rooted in the tradition. Beyond teaching techniques, I also wanted to share the stories, history, and philosophy behind Indian classical music so learners could connect with it on a deeper level. Writing these books felt like a way to give back to the music community and keep the traditions alive for future generations.
AuthorsWiki : How do you manage your time to write a book?
Sadakat Aman Khan : I manage my time to write a book by treating it as a part of my daily routine. I usually set aside specific hours for writing, research, and reflection, balancing it alongside my professional work and other commitments. I also make it a point to capture ideas whenever they come, whether through notes, recordings, or sketches, so that when I sit down to write, I have a clear direction. For me, writing a book is a gradual process, built on consistency, patience, and a genuine love for the subject.
AuthorsWiki : What is your favorite writing method — the one in which you write the most?
Sadakat Aman Khan : My favorite writing method is to write in a quiet, focused environment where I can immerse myself in the subject. I usually start with a rough outline or key ideas and then let the writing flow naturally, adding stories, examples, and details as they come. I like to write in short, consistent sessions, which helps me stay connected to the material without feeling overwhelmed. For me, the process is as much about exploration and reflection as it is about putting words on paper.
AuthorsWiki : When did you start writing, and how did your interest in writing begin?
Sadakat Aman Khan : I started writing during my early years of learning music, when I felt the need to put my thoughts, experiences, and learnings into words. My interest in writing grew from a desire to share knowledge and make complex ideas more accessible, whether it was about music, its techniques, or its history. Over time, writing became a way for me to reflect on my own journey, explore traditions deeply, and connect with others who share the same passion.
AuthorsWiki : Is there any special achievement in your life that you would like to share with us and your readers?
Sadakat Aman Khan : One special achievement I would like to share is being able to contribute meaningfully to the world of Indian classical music through my books. Writing and publishing works on the harmonium and on the gharanas has allowed me to document traditions, simplify learning for students, and share knowledge that has been passed down through generations. For me, this journey from being a learner to becoming someone whose work supports other learners feels deeply fulfilling and remains one of the most important milestones of my life.
AuthorsWiki : Are you planning to write or publish a book in the present or future?
Sadakat Aman Khan : Yes, I am planning to continue writing and publishing in the future. I am always exploring new ideas and areas within music that I feel could benefit learners and enthusiasts. My goal is to keep creating resources that not only teach techniques but also share the stories, history, and philosophy behind the art, so that readers can connect more deeply with Indian classical music.
AuthorsWiki : Would you like to give a message to your readers and fans?
Sadakat Aman Khan : I would like to thank my readers and supporters for their encouragement and trust in my work. My only message is to remain patient, curious, and sincere in your learning, whether it is music or any other art. Respect the tradition, but do not be afraid to ask questions and explore deeply. Music is a lifelong journey, and every step taken with dedication and honesty has its own value.
AuthorsWiki : Every writer has their own ideal. Do you also have an ideal writer? And what are your favorite books that you always want to read?
Sadakat Aman Khan : I do not follow a single ideal writer, but I draw inspiration from many voices across music, philosophy, and literature. I am especially drawn to writers who combine depth with simplicity and whose work reflects lived experience rather than theory alone. As for favourite books, I often return to works on Indian classical music, biographies of musicians and thinkers, and writings on philosophy and culture. These are the books I like to revisit, as they continue to offer new insights each time I read them.
AuthorsWiki : Apart from writing, what are your other hobbies that you enjoy in your free time?
Sadakat Aman Khan : Apart from writing, I enjoy spending time with music, whether it is practising, listening, or exploring different styles and traditions. I also like reading, reflecting, and learning about history and culture. In my free time, I enjoy quiet moments that allow me to observe, think, and reconnect with creativity, as these moments often inspire both my music and my writing.
AuthorsWiki : Would you like to remain in the writing world in the future as well?
Sadakat Aman Khan : Yes, I would like to remain connected to the writing world in the future as well. Writing has become an important part of how I learn, reflect, and share knowledge. I see it as a long‑term journey, one that will continue alongside my work in music, allowing me to document traditions, explore ideas, and connect with readers over time.
