Fundamentals of Hindustani Classical Vocals - Level 2

Q: How much time should a student devote to self-practice daily?

This course will require practice time outside of lessons. Time spent practicing may vary from 15 minutes per day to an hour, depending on a student’s level of interest. Students who wish to become professional singers will need more hours of practice per day using a different set of exercises and materials than students who are seeking to learn classical music as a hobby. A detailed structure for home practice for each student will be discussed and explained during class.

Q: What if a student is unable to attend an upcoming class?

The student is required to inform the teacher about his/her absence from a particular session, two days before the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his/her absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on the teacher’s discretion.

Q: How long will a teacher take to revert to students’ queries after class hours?

Students should get a response within 24 hours if the teacher is not preoccupied or traveling.

Q: What if the teacher wishes to reschedule a class?

If the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days before the class. The teacher will conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student.

About the Course

The fundamental course is divided into two parts to provide an in-depth learning experience. It has been designed in this way, also, to give ample scope and time to the students to learn at their own pace. This course is designed as a natural progression from the course - Basics of Hindustani Vocal Lessons.

In the earlier course, you learned voice training exercises that have helped you to identify the notes and sing them correctly in sequence or combination with one another.

In this course, you will learn more complex paltas. You will learn how to hop and slide from one note to another. You will learn to sing complex phrases by mixing and juxtaposing four to five notes together. The more you do such exercises the better it is for enhancing your vocal range and for making your voice agile for delivering various vocal techniques across all three octaves.

Likewise, your knowledge and practical skill set for singing the Ragas as well as your understanding of Taal and Lay will also rise to the next level.

The highlights of this course include -

intensive voice training with a more complex combination of notes and platas.
incorporating breathing techniques while practicing the paltas.
learning to sing paltas with taal and lay (rhythm and tempo)
understanding the structure of a chhota khayal - complete with singing arohan, abrohan, pakad, a simple alaap, bandish, and taans in 8 and 16 matras of Teentaal.
