About the Course
The course begins with an introduction to Indian devotional music, exploring its connection to the Bhakti tradition and forms like bhajans, kirtans, stotras, and Sufi songs. Learners then select songs from a curated list, studying their meaning, language, and context for deeper understanding.
Musical foundations are built through an introduction to ragas and taals commonly used in devotional music. Vocal training covers breath control, voice clarity, projection, and emotional expression through melody.
The course also focuses on devotional expression (bhava), teaching students how to convey emotion and create a meditative atmosphere. Improvisation is encouraged through raga variations, rhythmic patterns, and call-and-response kirtans.
In the final stage, learners prepare for practice and performance—whether personal, in satsangs, or on stage—while gaining confidence and overcoming performance anxiety.
Any devotional song of the student’s choice can be taught. For reference, a suggested list of songs is given below:
