Music Devoid of Indian Classical Music is Futile
However, in the wake, there is a new trend, which has come into existence. It is related to music learning, especially involving the Indian Classical Music. As it has been felt, and rightly so, that the base of any form of music is textual music, Indian bollywood industry acknowledges the same with due respect to it.
Light Music has its base in Indian Classical Music
This is why we witness the stalwarts of light music on our television sets appreciating the Indian Classical Music. No matter it is Daler Mehdi, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Alka Yagnik, or Hariharan, they all firmly believe that it must be understood thoroughly in order to master the basic techniques of music to strengthen ones light music. Now, that is something, which must be taken with due respect and seriousness as it is something, which leads to consolidating ones singing and musical abilities.
Go for the Right Teacher
However, the biggest question arises to identify the right music teacher. Now, that is something, which is challenging. Believe it or not, music basically comprises of various subtle technique that can only be learned in the company of professionals. In fact, there are many music teachers available in the market, however there is dearth of serious and experienced music teachers. It is sad that in many prestigious music institutions the way of teaching is confined to rot and not the understanding of music. Even if you wish to become a ghazal singer, pop singer, Bollywood singer, learning the fundamentals of music is essential.
Do not Flout the Fundamentals of Music
For example, the fundamental tenet of Indian Classical Music is taal, the rhythm, which is often ignored by the teachers when it comes teaching. Students feel bewildered as they learn compositions but unable to render them in accordance with the taal. One of the primary reasons is that are not told the basics of rhythm or the adjustment of notes in accordance with it. Therefore, the result is that even after years of training they find themselves hesitant when it comes to performance on stage. They even succumb to the various different patterns played by the Tabla player and finally give up the training altogether.
