Abstract

Studies on impact of Indian classical music on an individual’s body, mind, emotions and feelings. The present study explores whether learning Indian classical music for a considerate period of time (5 or more years) enhances one’s self-awareness and emotional intelligence levels among its practitioners. A sample of 300 – 150 learners (vocalists, instrumentalists and dancers); 150 non-learners was collected and Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS) and Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) were administered. T-test was used for the analysis. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between self-awareness and emotional intelligence levels among the Indian classical music learners and non-learners. However, among the learners, emotional intelligence levels were found to be higher in males than females.
