Music educators in the Nilgiris are promoting structured western music curricula and diverse pedagogical approaches. Deccan Chronicle reported that local instructors Ivan Enos and Eric Gary Renato are highlighting the importance of formal theory and varied teaching methods.
Enos, a licentiate in music education with more than 45 years of experience at institutions including Good Shepherd International School, said the appeal of western music rests on its harmony and written scores. He described these documents as musical maps showing how instruments like violins and saxophones fit together in orchestras. Enos conducts the Nilgiri String Ensemble, Nilgiri Choral Society and Orchestra 181.
