Promote Indian music as a preeminent form of melodic music

India developed the Raga System, or the scale system which is the foundation for melodic structures. As a land of diverse culture and history way back to the Indus valley civilization, India had a plethora of poet -composers from various regions with rich ideas threaded in philosophy with eloquence of their native tongue.

The musical compositions were by and large, vocal-centric and lyric based and the music itself evolved from era to era, refining and imbibing what is logical, useful and musical. The music, though much ancient, was coined as Carnatic Music or the South Indian Music and the co inage is of recent origin. However, Carnatic music is yet to make headway to popular music globally since the genre itself was widely thought as a liturgical form, and to be performed only during Hindu occasions and festivals.

The following are the core objectives of any learning program at Beej

Beej aims to teach the Indian Ragas, as a structured musical learning program for everyone to understand the musical system and apply it as simply as possible.

Indian Classical music, be it Carnatic or Hindustani, is naturally impromptus. A same song can be sung in different subtle styles by various artistes and is highly mood variant. It’s a hard fact that one needs to understand Indian music to appreciate what an Artiste performs on the stage.

Beej instills in the aspirants what’s what of the Indian melody; to understand the grandeur of the composition, the language employed therein, the musicality and rendition; to distinguish Kalpita (Taught) and Kalpana (Creative) elements of performing arts, which culminates an evolved taste to appreciate Indian Classical Music.

Indian Classical Music is not about just learning songs and building repertoire. More than that, it’s an academic discipline to nurture the faculties for improving the core learning abilities such as the Analytical, Mathematical, Creative and Retentive.

Beej Academy’s unique pedagogy offers a broader vision on learning Indian melody with an integrated curriculum encompassing Tradition, Language and Culture.
