WESTERN MUSIC

The Kala Academy's Department of Western Music was formerly known as "Academia de M�sica" started during the erstwhile regime in 1952 to popularize Western music, a legacy of long association of the Portuguese with Goa. The traditions of Western Music were gradually introduced in the local way of life including religious singing. A large number of Goans have made their professional mark in Western musical skills not only in India, but abroad. It was therefore found necessary that in Goa, known for the Goa Symphony, orchestras, singers, drummers, pianists and others, the Academia de M�sica becomes an integral part of the Academy to promote and preserve Western music under one roof. Various subjects taught by the Department of Western Music include solo singing, strings, piano, wind and classical guitar. Violin, viola, cello, bass, jazz, trumpet, flute, clarinet are also taught in this faculty. 



The subsidiary subjects include choral singing, sight reading, musicology besides theory, history and general knowledge connected with music. The Department of Western Music has also provided linkages to primary, secondary and college level courses with those of Trinity College of Music, London.
