To me a person, who can compose music for Tom and Jerry which has an universal appeal, is the numero uno . I started to learn the piano myself and began teaching in 1978 at the Calcutta School of Music and formed my own orchestra. My intention is to lead a simple life and make people conscious of the enormous wealth Western classical music has to offer. Moreover, there is no end to leaning and being a music teacher I can continuously upgrade myself. He regrets that many of his most talented students have opted for other professions since they know that music can never be as lucrative as computer engineering.
Foreign orchestra is supported by the state and there is also no dearth of private sponsorship.
Abraham also stressed the need for some honest people to support the cause of Western Classical Music in Kolkata. So what we need is money and honesty for proper development. If they get the taste of good music then they will listen to that only. I think the government should take more initiative in this regard. In every institution, music should be an integral part of the curriculum.
