Frequently Asked Questions

Hindustani Classical Music is an old format of Indian music, which has grown and evolved into one of the most popular forms of Indian classical music. Hindi film songs borrow hugely from this genre.

What is Hindustani classical music? ?

The classical music of North India is called Hindustani Classical Music.

How is Indian classical music different from Western classical music? What are their similarities?

Melody and rhythm are the common grounds for music, be it Western or Indian. Indian music is essentially monophonic (single melody format or homophonic) while Western music can be polyphonic (multiple notes played or sung in harmonised unison), monophonic or a combination of both. Western classical music is based upon the equal tempered scale, and rests upon melody, harmony and counterpart while Swara and Tala are the two basic components of Indian classical music. Swaras are the twelve notes and the intervening semitones , while a Tala is a cycle of beats, starting with a stress point called the Sam and ending with a release point called the Khali. It is this (sam & khali) that brings life to a Tala.

What is a raga?

Each Raga has its own scale consisting of minimum five and maximum seven notes (swaras). A raga has specific ascending (Aaroh) and descending (Avaroh) movements, specific dominating notes (vadi) and specific notes complementing the Vadi (Samvadi) notes. The characteristic phrases of a raga (Pakad) establish its identity and mood.

How many ragas are there?

Originally, there were six Ragas and thirty-six Raginis (melodies with softer emotions). Hundreds of Ragas were created with the help of these Ragas and Raginis, many of which have become obsolete. In recent times, musicians have composed many more ragas. There are today, approximately, 120-150 ragas in use.

Are these ragas used in classical music only?

Ragas are used in semi-classical and light music as well. life accusamus terry richardson ad squid. 3 wolf moon officia aute, non cupidatat skateboard dolor brunch.

What is a 'Tanpura'? How does it help the singers?

Tanpura or Tambura is a drone instrument, usually consisting of four or six strings tuned to Pa or Ma or Ni, Sa, Sa, Sa (Sol or Fa or Ti, Doh, Doh, Doh). The two strings in the centre are Sa of middle octave. The Pa or Ma or Ni and the last Sa are of the lower octave. The droning of the Tanpura helps singers to get set on the scale and it resonates to create a musical atmosphere.

What are the other instruments for vocal support? What is their origin? Why has the Harmonium become so popular in comparison with other instruments?

Sarangi, Violin and Harmonium. The Sarangi originated from a folk instrument of Rajasthan, while the origin of the Violin and the Harmonium is from the West. The Harmonium is easy to master and therefore became very popular, though it is not worthy of pure Indian classical music. Its equal tempered notes, like the piano, cannot capture the embellishments (Shruti, Meend, Gamak etc.). It came into vogue not very long ago.

In my childhood I used to sing poems, bhajans, bhavgeet etc in school and in family functions. I participated in number of music competitions. My parents realized my affection towards music and decided to give me proper training of vocal classical music.

I have been learning classical music from Shrinidhi Sir for a year and it’s been a wonderful experience. I am about to give my fourth exam and hope to do well in it with his guidance.
Arunima Datta, Age 14 years, Pune

It has been my dream since childhood to learn Hindustani classical music. I had my own doubts whether I would be able to learn if someone will actually take up all the pains to teach me. I had a flair to music but had not flexed myself enough.
I approached Shrinidhi Sir through a reference of my cousin shri Chinmay Sathe, who is also getting trained by Sir. It has been almost eight months that I am learning under the guidance of Shrinidhi Sir. My confidence was shattered initially when I started learning and understanding classical music. I felt that this is far bigger problem for me to solve. Slowly however, Shrinidhi Sir gave me confidence that I can learn this art. Now I feel much more confident, thanks to Shrinidhi Sir, for motivating and inspiring me and also handholding me. Shrikant Karve, Pune Engineer IBM Ltd.

Shrinidhi Sir is very kind. His teaching method is calm and innovative. His voice is modulated and orotund. I am always eager to learn music from Shrinidhi Sir. I enjoy the music class.
