Music is one of the most highly cultivated Indian arts and the most complete expression of the soul of India. It encompasses a vast world of instruments, forms, performers, and principles and history in the religious, folk, tribal, ‘hybrid’, film-dance-theatre, and classical traditions. This textbook tries to strike the right balance between musical training and education, between the acquisition of skills, techniques, and knowledge about music set against the need for aesthetic experience, creative endeavor, and personal response.
The textbook of Music was prepared by a team of practicing musicians and teachers. They have tried to incorporate into the book many facets of music such as listening, responding, appraising, composing, and performing, employing the techniques of improvisation, discussion, and reflection.
