A: What are the core elements of Hindustani Classical music?

SadhanaI have a website that thoroughly explains and demonstrates all the basics of Indian classical music for students. But for the benefit of Stack Exchange visitors, I will summarize the contents here. I would say that the core elements of Hindustani classical music are swara (notes), raga, taal (rhy...

@Namaskaram Another answer by the same OP, this time disclosing their affiliation with the website Raag Hindustani.
The answer has solid content.

A: What are the core elements of Hindustani Classical music?

10 RepFirst, let's talk about Carnatic Music. In Carnatic Music, there is a scale, called a raga. A raga is a combination of notes that make up a scale in Classical Music. Some ragas have all 7 notes of the scale, and a lot of them don't have all of the notes. There are a total of 72 melakarta ragas. M...

@Namaskaram Another recent answer to the same question by the user 10 Rep. The answer talks about Carnatic music even though the question asks about Hindustani music. The close connections between the two systems still makes the answer relevant in a way, though I feel it would be much better suited to a question about asking specifically about Carnatic music.

@Malavika This comment?
Seems that the OP is no longer active on main either… but they have visited the site recently, at least.
@Malavika I recently found out about this vainika Hemalatha Mani. Student of Chitti Babu. Beautiful nada.
Turns out she is visually impaired, actually! I found this article when searching the internet for information:

@Malavika Oh yes, I remember that you mentioned this about your teacher!
What a nice thing you've reminded me about, I will go back to that conversation :)
Will be away from my device for a while, going to have lunch.

@Malavika Unfortunately, searching for "Gayatri veena" turns up results exclusively for the vainika E. Gayathri.
Will have to dig deeper. If you come across any resource, do let me know :)
Of course, it's tangential to the point you were making... :P

@Namaskaram once again, the answer has been removed after undeletion, I think, presumably for lacking sufficient disclosures of self-promotion. shrug

@Namaskaram Scratch that, looks like it's finally up. (Just making a comment for the record, not that I'm invested in that particular answer or anything...)

Q: Tuning My Violin High

TarunUsually violinists tune it to G3-D4-A4-E5. I play on a Gba violin, very basic. Can I tune it to D4-G4-D5-G5? I know it sounds crazy but I play Carnatic violin and this is how all instruments are tuned. I want to be sure before I upgrade my strings from the cheap electrometal ones to the D'Addario...

Q: Black keys - what scale are these, how to use them?

user316117I'm a beginning music theory student and often when I'm supposed to be doing exercises I get distracted and start doodling around for fun on the black keys. It's easy to compose simple, satisfying melodies on them, but I don't know the underlying theory and practice. Is there a name for this pe...

Q: String bending on acoustic guitar versus sitar/veena

elborradorI'm trying to play the acoustic guitar in the classical Indian style which involves a lot of string bending to go up 1-4 semitones. My question is whether there's a difference in string tension that makes it easier to do on sitar/veena so that I don't injure my left hand mimicking that on the gui...
