Music is described and identified in multiple ways and categorised based on genres, regions, languages of composition, instrumentation, intonations etc. In this talk, Anuja Kamat, explains what gives music its identity through a vocal demonstration of the finer nuances of music. She takes the audience on a melodious, musical ride, busts common misconceptions and shares a new approach to understand, learn and practice music. As a child, Anuja Kamat took some time to come to terms with the traditional process of learning classical music. She went on to earn a Master’s in music from Mumbai University. Her curiosity & desire to share what she learnt in a unique way, led her to start a YouTube channel 'Out of the Shruti Box', which has garnered over 1,40,000+ subscribers. Her videos offer simple examples, analogies and illustrations to understand Hindustani music and connect well with audiences, world-over. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
