Are you a good musician? Take this test to find out! | VoxGuru ft. Pratibha Sarathy 

Excellent video! I feel more confident now after this assessment.

Someone who is at Sarali Varisai (1st speed) currently my reaction after watching this video was, “oh boy, oh boy!”. The only test that I passed without batting an eyelid was the first one, Pitch Test. For the rest, it’s going to be a while. However, loved the way madam teaches, as always. A video to keep coming back to as and when the musical journey progresses and to test myself.

Lovely tutorial. It gives a clear insight into musical structure

That was wonderful to listen to. I learned a lot, and found out I had an intuitive sense of Shruti. I also found out what a shruti is. I didn't know what to expect on seeing the title, 'Are You a Good Musician?' So with much anticipation, I sat wondering if I would fail miserably or be the next John Lennon.. I was quite surprised at Question 1! Most likely because I'm a bit slow, blind to the obvious and a bit English... I expected something to do with Western pop music. But... I loved watching your amazing teaching techniques and hearing your beautiful voice. How did I score? It's a secret.

You are a great teacher! Thank you 🍃

50% yes.. Thank you for this self assessment test! Would like to improve my singing skills.

Hello everyone !! My test score can be the following: Pitch test - yes 100% Random swaras - yes 70% Different ragas - yes 100% Alankara test - yes 90% Song's notation test - yes 80% But all these on a carnatic flute !! 😊❤

Have to disagree a little bit here with the premise of this video. These are all very higher level musical skills. Most children learn through imitation. This is actually a foundational part of learning. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with just mimicking tunes. If you do that well good for you. Typically with practice, then you later, internalize some of the principles. Imagine when you were a child learning a language, no one taught you the rules and the grammar of that language, yet you were still able to speak your native language grammatically correctly. All I’m trying to say is, don’t be harsh on yourself if you’re music student and you can’t meet all these criteria that have been listed in this video.

Wow that was so fun and informative! I got all 5. I am familiar with these ragas. #5 Hamsa Dwani - I surprised myself. I saw your other video about how to find the notes of a song earlier. I identified the root Sa and then it came easily. I have been learning Carnatic music for 2 decades. I am interested in learning manodharma and identifying ragas with confidence 😅 Thank you 🙏

Very Informative! 👍

Thank You So Much Mam

Good analysis ma'am

I Don't have .yet . Thanks for sharing ❤ really Grateful.... Need prays 🤲🙏

Lovely 👏🏻

You are blessed

Thank you very much mam 🙏.

5 NOs from me. This is exactly what I was wondering always like how do singers identify the swaras of any part of a random song. Learning to sing in high pitch, hitting the right notes, catching the gamakas/brugas correctly can all be fine tuned by frequent listening/observing and imitating the particular song, but learning to identify the swarasthanas accurately is a nightmare and have no clue how could it be learnt at all

Nice message

Very useful

Really eye opening

Super super super lovely tips voxguru Augustine violinist from Malaysia

Well that, was humbling.

Very interesting ❤

Tks for this video. Realised I was struggling after question 3. What’s the schedule like if I want to learn swara sthananas pls ?

Thanks much ❤

Very good question 👌👌👌🎤🎹

Very good video...can identify where we stand in our musical journey... It would be great if you could do a video on singing "AAKAR" if swaras. I find it very difficult to sing the AAKAR on avarohan.. Specially in transiting from "P M G R"

It has been a shocking revelation to me that scored only 50% after learning carnatic for around 7 yrs😅 I did know that my teacher wasn't helping us learn in detail, but now I feel I shouldve got someone better to teach me! Wonderful test !

Thank you mam

Hats off❤

Thank u Madam🙏🙏

Yes for 1 to 3 and 5. 4 I need more practice to shift to ragas.

As a singer, yes to 1. But as a flutist yes to 1,2 and note so sure but 3 also.

Really true.

Nice !

All is 100% Especially on the Hindustani Bamboo flute

Ma'am pls thank you for everything but for the carnatic knowledge what if you don't have money to pay I mean am poor a d I humbly want to join,is it possible ma'am?

1st one yes i can 2nd one i can to a greater extent if i know that raga 3rd one if its simple then i m able to 4th.. if i have learnt that raga i take little time to hum that raga or its any song then i can easily sing those swaras of that raga 5. Not really.. its what i m keen to learn too apart from other above ofcourse i have to except sruti recognising , Though i had learnt music for several years.I have taken the first step of ear training with ur self learning course from vox guru app and started my journey towards recognizing the swaras. Anyway great applauds to you for ur right vision for a proper music training.

Thank you you open my

Mam i have a doubt iam learning music for a years and iam also practicing daily but sometimes when i sing there will be an occurance of sore throat and my voice gets break down why is that hpn it means iam bad at singing can you say wht should i do to get rid from this ❤

1 and 2 I can

How to learn to get into swaras

Interested to join

Hi mam. I think I'm ok in all, but Im not able to find the notation. I know I week in manodharma.

@voxguru am not yet, a good musician, though..got to learn a lot Jk Karnataka

i want to learn plz help me like guru

I started watching this video thinking that this is a test for music skills.. But I soon realized that this is a test for Carnatic music skills, and not music in general. My test for good music skills is very simple: can you precisely reproduce any tune that you hear (within your physical vocal range limitations)? Of course, if that's the first time you hear that tune, there's an extra burden of memorizing it. But as long as you can reproduce that in pieces, let's say, three seconds at a time, you are still good.

All questions Yes. But due to my age(77) Iam getting cough and discomfort while singing. Can you please give me some suggestions?

Yes to 1.. No to rest 4..

Yes to intuitive Shruti. No to the rest

I can do these. Except the last one, I can do using a keyboard only

Yes to all 4 but 5 is on 20 perecnt

You looking beautiful

Online classes available now

I can't do 2nd one , and thats what I want to learn from very very long time...what can I do to master that? ( Sing random swara patterns )

❤❤❤

It's real ma'am

🕉 नमः शिवाय 🙏

Yes to 1st one no to other 4

Is the last song Raga hamsadhwani? 6:16

First 3 questions yes. Last 2 a bit confused

Ma'am you are a good but tough teacher. I am not fitting anywhere ma'am. Thank you. Need rigorous practice. I feel.

It is 5 Nos till now
