My basic grammar is in Indian classical music, Carnatic music, and Hindustani music, but I don't believe that that is the only form of music I will learn. I don't believe in that, because I am a very open minded person.

Shankar Mahadevan

My singing is not Hindustani classical or too western. It is a balance of Indian and western music. That's the kind of music I grew up on.

Amaal Mallik

When I listen to music today, it is about 99 percent classical. I rarely even listen to folk music, the music of my own specialty, because folk music is to me more limited than classical music.

Tom Glazer

I can work across all genres of music be it classical, hip-hop, western, traditional or folk.

Gopi Sundar

I come from a very strenuous, strict, disciplined classical music background. My grandfather, noted Carnatic classical exponent Dr. Sripada Pinakapani, was a Padma Bhushan recipient.

Chinmayi

If you ever ask me what my all-time dream character is, my answer will be Mia Tansen, the great composer-musician in Hindustani classical music. And ideally, the film should be directed by a person like Bhansali who is a great director and has a marvellous sense of classical music.

Jackie Shroff

I am a trained singer in Hindustani and classical music.

Chinmayi

I started officially learning music when I was 14. I learnt Hindustani classical.

Shruti Haasan

Usually people like experimental music which is usually not the case in Carnatic classical concerts.

M. Jayachandran

Culture dictated from above is the enemy of folk music. Whether it's stuffy classical music or pre-engineered pop where somebody's paid tons of money to make sure that everyone hears this song a certain number of times a day - that feels like the opposite of folk music.

Will Sheff

As people's lifestyles have improved, they've become more and more sensitive toward animals. It's becoming a universal value, like Western classical music.

Wang Shi

When K. Vishwanath made the film 'Shankarabharanam,' he wanted to bring back Carnatic classical music to mainstream. It's popularity was waning in those days.

Hamsalekha

Ilaignan,' the script of which has been penned by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, is a period film that is set in the romantic era of classical music. You will find Western classical music mixed with our Indian melodies.

Vidyasagar

Western classical music and classical dance gel beautifully.

Shobana

I have been trained for three years in Hindustani classical music. I keep humming and many Bollywood co-stars have been victimized by my relentless singing.

Amrita Rao

I think there's a difference between the type of folk music that people put into the box of "folk music" and then there's the kind of folk music that I aspire to and am in awe of, and that is the kind of folk music where it's very limited tools - in most cases a guitar, in a self-taught style that is idiosyncratic and particular to that musician.
