Some Random observations as a Student of MUSIC
   When I look at different genres in Indian and World music I find This. The approach , the sylistics , neccessity , the balance of rhythm, vocals and instruments varies .The voice culture to be able to sing any form is different . The parallel of guru in some is tentative and is the music director. the importance and length of synopsis. lnsertion the presence or absence of simultaneous background score can be seen . Also the requirement and timbre of voices changes. The History and evolution of each forms is another factor . some can be traced centuries behind. Also few of this music lacks non national influence. Certain Styles stick to what is taught may be presented as it is.  while others  do not. Aesthetics of each is different. Some music is not performed at a stretch it is subjected to modification and takes that are also sung separately .Classical music is performed in a single take whether in studios in.auditoriums or outdoors. Certain kinds and forms of music is precomposed when at studios and modified when in auditoriums. Music such as western classical is based on diversion and Harmony . Each category of voices are given importance. these are few of the many points .Non classical music is not subject to temporal change in a single performance once its begun such as in hindustani music .we tend to modify tempos to help the performer play at a desired tempo..In non classical styles this may not happen. Parallel additions and sutractions of rhythms chorus and instruments are part of non classical forms .....Nandini Borkar
