INDIAN MUSIC:-
1. Hindustani system of music OR Northern system of Music
2. Karnataki system of music OR Southern system of Music.
Hindustani System of Music : That system of music which is prevalent throughout India excepting Madras Province, Mysore State, Andra Pradesh and South Kanara is called Hindustani system of music or Northern system of music.
Karnataki System of Music : That system of music which is prevalent in Madras Province, Mysore State, Andra Pradesh and South kanara, is called Karnataki system of music.
Although the nucleus of the above two systems of music is the same, but they are perfectly independent of each other. The chief difference between the two lies in their two perfectly independent 'primary or foundation' scales. The primary scales of Shudda Scale of Hindustani system of music is commonly called "Bilawal Scale" which "very nearly" corresponds with the European Scale of 'C' Major.
