They explain some aspects of their training, tell about the character of raga music and discuss the differences between learning western music and Indian Classical music.

thts wht I am saying !! I am not denying their efforts .. in fact, I am so worthless compared to them that my appreciation doesn't even count here !!

Indian musicians practice very hard... otherwise you can't master Indian music.

Well .. I am talking abt the big picture here.. Its not that every Indian is sluggish !!

[holikarang]

I think it depends on the student and not Indian or Western...

[snkaru]

This is lovely!

New interest and blood in any musical form is never a bad thing.

For those who may not know, the teacher in the second half of the video is Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, THE BEST living flautist in India.
