And, interestingly enough, it is WESTERN Classical Music that is studied.

China has its own Classical Music, but it has a different cadence, a different pattern of rhythm, and different scales than Western Music. The same can be said of Indian Classical Music.

I actually enjoy Eastern music, but in very small doses.

Then it’s Back to Bach for me!

Some of the Indian Classical Music out there is purely divine.

It uses similar scales as Western Classical Music, but has a much older history, and often, more complex melodies.

Is it micro-tonal? Western music has twelve notes to an octave while some eastern music has twenty four or more. It’s really weird to hear if you’re used to Western music.

Playing a sitar is pretty interesting but soon it starts to sound the same. What was that guy’s name, Ravi Shankar??? He used to play for hours; I don’t see how he could stand it.
