Music a part of education of Rabindranath

From this year, Jyotirindranath was getting importance in Tagore family. He was practicing music since long. The orchestra of " Nabanatak" was his composition.He learnt Setar after going Bombay with Satyendranath. His musical endeavor was expressed in the celebration of 39th Maghotsab of Brahmosamaj [29th Jan 1869]. The presence of Debendranath after coming back from the Himalayas added much more enthusiasm.After the separation of Brahmo Samaj with Keshab Chanadra, this was the first celebration. About 15 songs were sung on this occasion. Jyotirindranath also spoke few lines on this occasion.This had great impact on Rabindranath which was referred in Jibansmriti, 1st edition. Rabindranath said that they were being brought here within a musical atmosphere since our childhood. He could not remember when he was not able to sing. He remembered that they were used to celebrate Maghotsab in imitation. He rembered that they were singing in a loud voice the song, "dekhile tomar sei atul prem-anane"
