Artificial Neural Network to Identify Indian Classical Music Raga’s

Abstract

The music plays a very crucial role in the life of humans. In a day to day life people listen to music for fun, relaxation, entertainment and mental peace. The music also can be used as a remedy to recover from many diseases and physical fatigues. The Raga is the base of Indian Classical Music. The behaviour of the Raga is recognized by Swara notes movement. The Raga may be sung as per emotions, environmental situations and events at a particular time. The various features extraction techniques from the Digital Signal Processing and Raga Identification Techniques for classifying Indian Classical Music are been discussed. In this paper, the properties of Indian Classical Music are listed that are useful for the Identification of Raga’s.
