The document discusses taking Hindustani music education online through a virtual lab called Sangeetkosh. It notes that traditional guru-shishya methods of passing down musical knowledge are becoming impractical. Sangeetkosh aims to supplement music education needs with digital tools through three components: annotations of musical concepts, a repository of audio examples, and interactive experiments for learning. A user study found participants' test scores improved significantly after using Sangeetkosh's learning tools for several days. The virtual lab seeks to make Indian musical knowledge more accessible through online annotations and experiments.

- 3. Music Education in India Many of the musicians who have died recently or are very will take their knowledge to the grave. To sit at the feet of the master the whole day, every day, for years and years, is rapidly becoming a social and economic impossibility. Those who intend to become musicians will have to take lessons a few times a week and improve their skills by practising at home. The result however is that they improve their technical ability but their insight into the foundations of the music remains shaky. - Meer, W.
