- 8. Music Education in India Many of the musicians who have died
recently or are very will take their knowledge to the grave. To sit
at the feet of the master the whole day, every day, for years and
years, is rapidly becoming a social and economic impossibility.
Those who intend to become musicians will have to take lessons a
few times a week and improve their skills by practising at home.
The result however is that they improve their technical ability but
their insight into the foundations of the music remains shaky. -

most useful. Intermediate Musician - User 2 has studied music for
many years, but not recently. Regaining musicianship strength
primary motive. Novice - User 3 is an avid music lover and
listener. Initial walkthrough experiments most useful.

Pre lab use and post user experiments for analyzing the scores
obtained by 12 participants in the period of 4 days, solving 20
questions per day for 4 different tests. Significant difference
(0.011, 0.035, 0.19, 0.001) between before and after practise
