Course Description
The course is about Indian voice music, where one can learn music of India. Initially, I will be covering Indian Classical Music, which is the root of all Indian Music. One needs to have an Indian drone-instrument called Tanpura and a Tabla, which is an Indian Percussion for creating beats. An iTabla-pro app (in apple products) connected with speakers is also sufficient for self-practices and sessions. The course is seven weeks long.
Classical music is classified into four groups:
- Voice-production training.
- Indian note-syllables training(SWARA).
- knowledge about Indian beats-rhythms(TAAL).
- Raga-improvisation.
There are a plethora of Indian music lovers in all parts of the world. Ample of audience gather for any Indian classical concert, but conceptualizing 'what is Indian Classical' and its proper training is still lacking its persistence. I know many westerner-musicians, who travel to India annually for several months, leaving their jobs, to get guidance from their gurus. Therefore, one should definitely take this course to make Indian music singing and training-steps more accessible and approachable at any time.

My Story
Early Days
Back in India, Music has been the crucial part of my life, since I was five years old.
My mother is a musician too and she groomed me tediously to make me a good singer. Since my childhood, my mother incorporated me to her teacher, Mr.Kashalkar, who has always been my source of guidance, inspiration, and knowledge in this field.
After being mentored by him and clearing all Prayag (prestigious north-Indian classical level) Exams for 10-12 years approximately, I moved to Delhi for my higher studies in music.
College
Moving to Delhi was my jump start move in music, as I found myself competing among the highly talented students and veteran teachers and maestros. In Delhi, I started my training with my professor's wife, Dr. Soma Singh, who helped me in developing the nuances, improvisations, and minute variations in the raga system.
During my Graduation, Masters, M.Phil and PhD in Indian music, I have been fortunate to achieve the guidance from many great maestros like Pt. Vidyadhar Vyasa, etc..
I fell in love with the tunes and peculiarities of different ragas and perceived them as my mental healer.

Yes very good. I have been studying tabla for 8 years and would like to incorporate the melodic side so this is perfect. The teacher is very clear and methodical. Thank you.

This course is wonderful and inspiring, it covers so much and yet it is explained step by step, not too difficult but lots to work on for beginners to Indian classical music! Highly recommended, thank you so much!

A very good course which sets the fundamentals of classical singing. I certainly enjoyed the course and it has the right pace and was very well presented too keeping in mind the audiences. Would definitely recommend this one.

Very well put together. As a sitar player I still find a LOT in this to be helpful to me. Especially when working out some possible improvisations. It's easy to sketch a bit vocally and then come to the instrument after developing some ideas. It also helps to convey to other players what is happening.

I love the Dr.'s deep explanations. And the iTabla Pro app is awesome! I've been wanting to learn more about Indian music and I'm really glad I chose this course.

It was a wonderful learning experience. Covering 47 brief sessions with maximum information is quite impressive. Would have liked if more sessions were added to give learners more wider knowledge & understanding of music with more vocal egs. This was more theoretical knowledge which is certainly good but some more vocal exercises would enhance our learning music experience. Thanks for the efforts taken by Ms Shambhavi Das. Best wishes to her & the team.

well now after having tried to understand the different modules, download them and learn too, I find there are a couple of things that need improvement. one is it should be oriented towards the Indian learner as they will be the majority, secondly the symbols used should also be like they do it in India, that means for example not use comma as an elongated singing expression she sometimes does not hold on to it which irritates during singing. she should keep to the notes 100 % while singing. and moreover while singing there should be no interfering with explanations. instead repeat small cohaerent portions also i have only 31 chapters not 37.

A great beginner course. The instructor is thorough and precise. I am enrolled in in her both the courses. Will update later when i finish the the first.
