The Tarnished Charm Of Classical Music

Most Delighting Talent Of Singing

India has always been known for its diverse and beautiful culture. Due to this diversity, India also has many art forms, be it dancing, painting, literature, and music, India has always been on top. But with the rapid globalization, India has also come under the influence of western culture. Because of this influence, many art forms have seen negative consequences. Several of our art forms have lost their identity and importance among our own younger generation. Indian classical music is one such art form.

Indian classical music has two different traditions: the north Indian commonly known as the Hindustani Music and the south Indian tradition which is commonly known as Carnatic Music. Indian classical music has two major elements raga and tala. Where the Raga is the swara and the tala is what measures time. The classical music can either be vocational or it can be instrumental. 

Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Kumar Gandharva are some of the renowned classical singers. M.S Subbulaxmai is one of the classical singers who practiced Carnatic music. Ustad Ajmal Khan, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Pandit Ravi Shankar. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma and Pandit Zakir Hussain took the instrumental classical music to a whole new level.

But lately, the charm of the Indian classical music has started to fade. One of the major reasons for this is the impact of western culture on our traditional art forms. Other reasons for the decline of our precious and traditional classical music forms are listed below: 

1. Time-consuming: Learning classical music is not an easy task. It requires a lot of time, practice and dedication to master the art of classical music.

2. Introduction of western music: nowadays the younger generation is more inclined towards western music like hip-hop, rock music or our very own Bollywood music. Some of you might not even know anything about classical music.

3. Peer pressure: everybody wants to listen to songs or music that makes them look cooler and shows that they have swag.

But now it is high time that we take some action to protect our culture of traditional or classical music. Some of the tips are mentioned underneath:

1. Start early: if you want your child to incline towards classical music, start teaching them at an early stage and if they build an interest they will continue learning.

2. Equal importance: we should give equal importance to classical music. More shows and concerts should be organized for classical music.

3. Professional help: if you want to learn classical music then hire a professional. Take proper training. And if you are not able to get a good teacher then search online. There are many portals that provide professional teachers or singers that you can hire to learn classical music. Star clinch is one of the best portals that provides classical singers in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chandigarh, and many more cities.
