MYSURU: Bemoaning the failure of music universities across the nation to produce nice artistes, sarod maestro Rajeev Taranath on Tuesday stated, “Music varsities have not produced musicians and the teaching school who draw large salaries appear to have little or no skill.”
Taranath, who used to be conferred the Nadoja award through the Kannada University at his house in Vijayanagar on Tuesday, lamented that no one seemed willing to save India’s wealthy culture and heritage. “Nothing is being achieved to save music,” he added.
Questioning lecturers at music universities, who he claimed took house per month salaries of as much as Rs 2 lakh, the maestro stated, “What is their contribution to the sector? Are they able to create musicians? No.”
Taranath pointed to the need to save Indian music and culture. “Much must be achieved to save music. Nobody is immortal. There is an excessive amount of center of attention on cash, and education has been commercialised,” he added.
Lamenting the commitment through stakeholders to save India’s wealthy musical legacy, he stated, “India has produced such nice musicians. Stalwarts comparable to Ravi Shankar, and Ali Akbar Khan sahib have all disappeared.”
Taranath stated that he used to be pinning his hopes on Kannada University to produce a great musician. “Kannada University has given me the whole thing. I might be elated to see a musician come out of the college,” he added.
