CBSE Class 10 Hindustani Music (percussion Instruments) Marking Scheme 2026

The CBSE Class 10 Hindustani Music (Percussion Instruments) Marking Scheme and Question Paper are designed to evaluate students’ proficiency in playing percussion instruments such as the tabla, mridangam, or pakhawaj within the framework of Hindustani classical music. The assessment is divided into theory and practical sections, ensuring a balanced evaluation of conceptual understanding and performance skills.

Key components include:

• Theory: Evaluates students’ knowledge of fundamental musical concepts, rhythmic patterns (taals), and notable compositions.

• Practical: Tests the ability to perform specific compositions across different taals with accuracy, demonstrating rhythmic control and technical skill.

• Marking Distribution: Clearly outlines the weightage for theory and practical sections, ensuring fair assessment of both areas.

By adhering to the marking scheme, students can structure their preparation to strengthen both their theoretical understanding and instrumental expertise, leading to well-rounded performance in the examination.
