Bollywood music, or contemporary Indian film music, has a history of about just about 100 years. However, the influence of technology and globalisation has completely changed the sound of Bollywood over the last 30 years. Today we can hear influences of genres of music from around the world in most of the productions. Western music, both contemporary and classical, has become a major part of the sound and production today. Learners aspiring for a career in the Indian music industry no longer look at purely Indian classical training as the only road to success.

Learning Bollywood music is a very complex proposition due to the mix of skills one needs to hone to effectively understand this genre today. Hindustani music has been taught for centuries in a guru-shishya parampara which is now fast becoming extinct. Technology has facilitated a spawn of online teaching, which has opened the availability of gurus from all over the world. However, in-person face to face teaching in an environment conducive to a well-rounded music education continues to be the ideal place to learn this complex form of music.
