Taking Music to Masses - Akhil Bhartiya Gandharv Mahavidyalaya

Abstract

The entire Indian world is well aware of the fact that in ancient times music teaching was done by the Guru Shishya tradition. Amongst the ancient Indian singers, some singers were such who gave birth to special singing styles by their talent and taught their sons scriptural music. Their disciples and family members have been following same style till now. This singing style is called Gharana. In short, we can just say that Gharana means Guru Shishya tradition. There was a time when gharanas were all the more important as they gave birth to several renowned music directors in film industry or otherwise. And through films, music has played so much that it has made a huge impact on masses.
