The WBCHSE Class 12 Music syllabus is designed to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical performance skills. The curriculum includes classical, semi-classical, folk, and contemporary music forms. Students study musical notations, ragas, talas, compositions, and their historical and cultural contexts. Classical music emphasizes understanding ragas, voice modulation, and technical mastery of instruments. Semi-classical and folk music introduce students to regional styles, traditions, and cultural expressions, fostering appreciation of diversity in Indian music. Students also learn music theory, including rhythm, melody, harmony, and musical forms, which provides a foundation for analytical understanding of compositions.

Practical performance is a key component of the syllabus, involving vocal or instrumental presentations, solo and group performances, and stage presence. Project work and recital evaluation help students refine skills, develop creativity, and gain confidence. WBCHSE Music nurtures artistic expression, cultural appreciation, and technical proficiency. Regular practice, listening exercises, and performance assessments are essential for mastering both theoretical and practical aspects. This syllabus prepares students for higher education in music, performing arts, and professional musical careers.
