Rabindranath said that he could not remember when he could not sing.
Rabindranath got his music training from four teachers.
1. Dilip Kumar Mukhopadhyay,
2. Bishnu Chandra Chakrabarty,
3.Jadunath Bhattacharya, &
4. Srikanthya Singha.
Dilip Kumar Mukhopadhyay was the first music teacher of Rabindranath.
Bishnu Chandra Chakrabarty and his elder brother Krishna Chakrabarty were paid teachers of Brahmo Society since the time of Rammohan Roy. Even after the death of Rammohan he remained as paid teacher.
Indira Debi wrote to Prasanta Kumar Paul that Bishnu Chakrabarty taught songs to Rabindranath fit to the childhood, e.g.,
For Jadunath's melodious voice, Rajas of Panchacot awarded him the title of 'Ranganath' and Maharaja of Tripura; Birchandra Manikya awarded him the title of 'Tanraj'. Jadunath had written various songs in Bengali and Hindi. He was known for 'Khanderbani' dhrupad music.
Jadunath raised this music to a higher level and made it well known throughout India. He expired at the age of 43. Jadunath's 177 years old tanpura that Dhrupad legend Jadu Bhatta used to play while giving lessons to icons like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Rabindranath Tagore has made its way to Indian Museum.
Sree Kanthya Singha ; Rabindranath cited an example with reference to Sree Kanthya Singha without referring the name of Jadu Bhatta in Jiban Smriti.
" Once there was a famous singer in our house for some period. He always talk nonsense to Srikanthya Babu in drunken state. Sreekantha Babu took it with a smiling face and did not protest a little. At last the singer was asked to leave our house. At this Sreekanthya Babu said that there was no need of driving him out of the house. He did nothing. It is only the wine who did the mischief."
