Who This Programme Is Designed For

Vocalists with a stable Sa looking to transition into authentic Raag exposition and aesthetic ornamentation.

Course Overview & Indore Gharana Pedagogy

Step onto the true path of classical music. Here, notes transform into living expressions. You will learn how to unfold primary evening and morning raags, execute delicate meend (glides) and kan-swaras (grace notes), and internalize Vilambit and Drut bandishes with proper taal coordination.

What You Will Learn & Master

1 Indore Gharana swar-lagav — the refined aesthetic placement of notes
2 Core Raag study: Raag Yaman, Raag Bhairav, Raag Bilawal, Raag Kafi
3 Meend (seamless melodic glides) and Kan Swara (delicate grace micro-tones)
4 Traditional Bandish learning with lyrical and emotive depth
5 Taal synchronization (Teental, Ektaal, Rupak, Keherwa) with Swara
6 Early Merukhand note-permutation patterns for melodic agility

Expected Outcomes After Completion

  • Confident 15-minute improvisational Alaap in major foundational raags
  • Fluid, connected note transitions without mechanical jumps
  • Ability to accompany yourself on the tanpura drone effortlessly
  • Clear expressive command over traditional classical compositions
