- Abstract
Music is the finest among all the fine arts viz poetry, architecture, painting and sculpture. All these four fine arts influence only the human mind but not an animal or plant. It is the art of music only which has power to charge an animal and has energy to flourish a plant. It is a talent gifted by God and chiseled with training and practice. During the days of yore, the art of music was used to be learnt individually by gurus staying in the gurukuls for years. In those days, disciples, after serving and satisfying their gurus, would earn a chance to get training from guru. In this way, an art like music remained transferred from one generation to another generation. By the passage of time and with the strenuous efforts of the scholars like Bhatkhande and Paluskar, music entered the educational institutions. It was greatly welcomed along with education and got a respectable place even. Travelling a journey of about 100 years in educational institutions, music is again facing new challenges and difficulties in its way because of changing trends, western impact and lacking interest of our young ones. The aim of this paper is to underline the contribution of the institutional education of music towards the growth of the art of music and discussing the challenging factors occurring in the process of teaching-learning of music in an educational institution.
