What is considered the most fruitful way to learn Indian classical music?
Now Indian classical music can be learned in many institutions and has been heavily documented and notated but learning through observation, listening and memory is still paramount and connecting with an expert teacher is considered the most fruitful way to learn.
How is Indian classical music learned?
Indian musicians learn to play raga (patterns of notes) by imitating and memorising. The music is passed on from teacher to student by oral tradition. Students belong to an extended family of musicians learning from a particular master. This is known as the master-student tradition.
Which Raga is best for studying?
“The Indian classical instrument played was Malahari raga, which improved concentration, whereas Indo jazz played was Kapi raga, which improved attention; as revealed in the enhanced task performance.
Does Spotify have Indian classical music?
Indian Classical Music – playlist by Barbican Centre | Spotify.
How do I start learning classical music in India?
Indian Classical Music Education Typically, those who learn Indian classical music begin their training as children under private tutors. Most Indian towns and cities have private tutors who offer individual or group lessons in vocal or instrumental music, and children usually attend these lessons after school.
What are the best books to learn about Indian music?
However, there are some books that can provide background that help to develop your discernment and discrimination. There is only one that I wholeheartedly recommend (of many that I have read) : Indian Musical Tradition by Deshpande which describes the Hindustani Music vocal gharanas and places them in a meaningful contrast and comparison.
Which is the best book on Carnatic music?
‘A Southern Music – The Carnatic story’ authored by popular Carnatic Singer T.M. Krishna is a good reading for both connoisseur of classical music as well as a lay person who has an ear for traditional music. Although the book is more about carnatic music, it also has a section that explains difference between carnatic and hindustani music.
Where can I find a good book on classical music?
Most of the books you find are written by musicologists or ethno-musicologists which can give you some sense of the “real thing”, but I think tend to be overly theoretical and abstruse. You will find many of these on Amazon. The Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael will also have the best of these available.
