Any Indian cello players here? I just want to share this article because I think it's interesting in relation to the chat about Carnatic-style violin playing a couple of days ago. Apparently it takes some work to adapt the cello to Hindustani classical music, as you have to play sitting on the floor, and of course the tuning needs some adjustment, but it sounds great. https://scroll.in/magazine/1010058/meet-the-women-who-have-made-the-cello-an-indian-instrument There are some examples from film music, and in one of the pictures she's playing an Indianised cello that looks more like a fretless bass viol.
I am a self learned guitar player and playing guitar for almost 5 years but haven't progressed as much. I have basic ideas about chords and scales and major or minor keys. I learn what I can from YouTube but when it comes to Hindustani classical or traditional music from my country, I am totally lost. Should I try to learn Hindustani classical? When I see singers like Arijit Singh for example, who plays the guitar and sings complicated melodies using basic chords it totally goes over my head. Should I learn more western music theory or Hindustani?
I understand that music, at its very core, does not have any boundaries of region, language, instrumentation, etc. I also understand that two different genres can have very different theoretical aspects associated with them, and each provide us unique tools to analyse a musical piece.
I want to know how a Hindustani Classical piece (or any other genre for that matter, I just happen to have knowledge of this genre) would look from a western perspective. Like what would be the tonal center, mode, rhythm and harmonies look like?
I am guessing it is a really dumb question and the answer would turn out to be something very obvious, but I'm curious nevertheless.
Indian classical music has many forms of expression apart from the above mentioned such as Gurmat Sangeet and semi-classical and folk music. This thread is to note the similarities between the two and better learn and appreciate these two forms. It is generally expressed that Carnatic music was performed as an offering to Gods being performed in temples while Hindustani developed in the courts of the kings. How true is this interpretation? Was there a proto-Indian classical music form before divergence into today's extant forms. Their contemporary similarities can hint towards their shared origin. Please share your thoughts.
Whether you are a professional singer or not, training for your voice is important. According to expert singers, they can hit the perfect notes whenever they feel the song and feel relaxed. Some singers can do this with no training, but the interest is small. Most singers go through accurate training in music classes in Bangalore and get massive support from vocal training. Learning the techniques for well-balanced singing with emotion and expression is important to enhance the voice strength and range. It is possible only through professional music classes.

Hello, I live in Delhi and am planning to start learning the Sarod once the pandemic quietens down. I had a bunch of questions:
- What is a good place to buy a reasonably-priced Sarod?
- Where should I take Sarod classes?
- Is there a recognised diploma in Sarod that I can try for (eg. akin to a Kathak diploma)?
- I am 20 years old and currently enrolled in a college full-time, is there someplace that will allow me to learn classical music despite this constraint? I am also quite embarrassed by the fact that I'm 20 yet know little-to-no Hindustani classical music theory etc.
All advice welcome!
PS: Another question: should I buy an Ali Akbar Khan or an Amjad Ali Khan Sarod? What are the pros/cons of both?
Hello guys! After a lot of time and effort, I have finally found a place where I can post regarding Indian Classical music. My dad - Subroto Banerjee is a highly regarded Classical Vocal and Rabindra Sangeet Artist since more than 45 Years. I have always wanted him to have his own digital space so that his talent could reach people outside our town. As such, I have launched his Youtube Channel recently, and although we only have one video as of now, we will be posting quite regularly and hopefully reach the right kind of audience who enjoy the art of Indian Classical Music. Please take a look and do subscribe (only if you like it) and show some love on the link below : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMFMnviZXkE
