Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 9 Notes Overview
Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 9 My World of Music asks students to notice music around them. Music appears in folk songs, film adaptations, advertisements, sporting events, movie themes, environmental campaigns and professional work.
- The chapter begins with traditional songs that have become popular through films.
- It explains jingles, sports theme songs and character themes in movies.
- It ends with music careers such as sound engineer, music producer, event manager, music therapist and music educator.
Traditional Music in Popular Culture
NCERT explains that traditional folk and devotional songs can enter popular culture. When a song is adapted for a film or pop version, it reaches new students while still carrying older cultural roots.

| NCERT Example | Context | Revision Point |
|---|---|---|
| Nimbooda Nimbooda | Traditional Rajasthani folk song | Performed by Langa and Manganiar musicians |
| Rind posh maal | Kashmiri song | Describes a beautiful lake, forests, flowers, mountains and natural beauty |
Applications of Music
Music has practical uses in public life. Advertisements use jingles so people remember brands. Sporting events use anthems and theme songs to create energy and community. Films use background scores and character themes to shape mood.
- Jingle: a short catchy song written for a product or brand.
- Theme song: a tune linked with an event, campaign or film character.
- Song for change: a song or anthem written for a public issue such as Clean Ganga or Swachh Bharat.
