Mysore/Mysuru: Young people are interested in learning various forms of art such as music and dance. However, noted flautist Praveen Godkhindi expressed his sadness that today’s youth lack interest in pursuing education to its fullest extent.
He spoke about the book ‘Prahaar: The Singing Clock’ during the final discussion of the 7th Mysuru Literature Festival 2023.
The book discusses in detail the different aspects of music, including which songs should be sung in which raga and at what time, based on people’s preferences. It also highlights the importance of discipline in music. Therefore, it was emphasised that learning classical music, art and music requires continuous dedication and time. The novel aims to provide concise information to readers about the benefits of music therapy, the use of ragas in different contexts and the references in classical texts. Nalini Chandar, a retired English Professor conducted the session.
