How I learnt to identify the notes of any song | Pratibha Sarathy 

Since I’m going through VoxGuru Carnatic Grade 1 classes, I am salivating thinking when I’ll progress to the level of identifying the swaras. The Pro Challenge in this grade itself is there, as in other Grades, which is reverse of what you talked about, i.e. producing the sound based on a random note thrown at you. As usual your style of teaching is so impressive - the very reason why I enrolled into the course - these videos are treasure house for future reference.

This is such an amazing video! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM ❤🎉

This lady is amazing in teaching skill. Since I learnt harmonium on my own Iam able to understand her depth and clarity. I learnt harmonium to know the pattern of each swaras. I know now the features of each raga , so that I can bring that mood of the raga by playing its features. I was a singer only. But now I can bring that bhava into the raga of the song by just playing its features. I personally feel it is better a singer learns harmonium , keyboard or anyone instrument to bring that bhava to the raag. Thats why alaapana is needed. Mastery of the swaras can be had by key board or harmonium bcs instrument can't make mistake when you play a raaga, bcs each raaga has specific swaras and you perfectly know whether you are deviating from the raaga or not.

Miss Prathiba, huge fan of your videos. I have learnt Carnatic music for 3-4 years in school and am an engineer, can hugely connect to how you explain the material. God gifted talent!

Excellent discussion and superb presentation. Yes in Jazz the most common chord progression is 2-5-1, or re- pa-sa. The composition will start from re and land on sa.

Thank you so much for valuable information 🙏🏻❤️

Thanks for giving us such valuable lessons Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤

Very insightful!! Thanks for sharing!✨🙏❤

Thanku for sharing such great experience and knowledge mam Charan sparsh thanku very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much madam, it's wonderful explanation

Wow! Technically enriching and very well articulated! Maybe its a lot of intuition and an equal amount of acquired skill!

Excellent! Thank you...

I got my answers here… Thank you so much Pratibha madam🙏🏻

You have a beautiful voice and you are very good teacher 🙏🏼

Great. I have been using this technique not for singing but to play instruments, however while doing transformations of notes from one instrument to another is a challenge i.e. playing on Bb Saxophone and then playing same song on Eb Soprano sax or on a G# flute. This exercise then becomes a little tricky and i tend to jump scales than the original. I tried to study in detail the circle of fifths etc. But i always have the confusion of the correct scale.

Excellent explanation Sister. Thankyou so much ❤❤

Yes, I used to for first 2,3 lines. If the song is - say 'mukala.. mukabla..' - others can also identify when I play. But it it is a melody.. they will give a hostile stare.. for my mottai swaras.😅

This was very helpfull for me. Thank you

Thank you for sharing these tips 🙂🙏

What aLovely session Thank you

Very good video...much needed one

Lovely explanation ❤

Knowledgeable videos which are helpful.

You are blessed!

Basically , per western music concept, she is helping to understand how to figure out which Mode the song is tuned in. Like ionian mode , Lydian mode, harmonic minor mode. Etc.

Excellent explanation ❤ even I try to use the longer method to decode the swaras..I guess I need to focus on understanding the swarasthanas of the 12 notes

Thank you so much ❤

Very interesting! I do very easily find out saa in any song, but I would not have been explain how it happens. May be in the back of mind I must be following same process very quickly, without even noticing what I am doing and how I am finding saa in a song! You are gem!

Keyboard has Octave and Keyboard Transpose. U have this inbuilt

Please mujhe is song ka note chahiye saathiya mere me to Tera Deewana hu

I was going to say "By their finger prints". Your answer makes a lot more sense. Mine was just nonsensical.

Kab kya routine hona chahiye voice ko practice karne keliye???

Are u able to sing the song :O duniya ke rakhwale" in the original scale as sung by MOhd Rafi-try it out.

What time did it take you to identify swaras

It looks like as if we are with our guru

👏👏👏👌👌👌🙏

I think only 1 in 10000 people are pitch perfect. Its a subconscious skill that cannot be acquired. Either you have it or you dont ;). The way I learnt is to compare the note to your standard spoken voice, in my case it happens to be A2 and then guess the octave or note from there.

I am learning Hindustani classical music, Can I take Ear training course?

👌👌👌👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi..

Hi

Madam, I always wanted to acquire the ability of identifying notes of song just by listening. I wasn't given a chance to learn music from a teacher in my childhood. But now I am in medical College and I watched lectures on music theory (western). And I was able to understand scales, modes, chords. After that I bought a Ukulele and I practiced on it. I was able to find notes of songs which I used to hear in my childhood easily but I found it difficult doing same with the songs I heard in my adulthood. I am pretty slow at decoding notes usually takes an hour for a song by hit and trial method. I want to increase my speed in identifying notes. I usually don't try to find the root note, instead I always start the song on any random note and then I try to find relative notes. I have no aspirations of playing as a professional along with a singer so I never bothered about finding actual root note. I only learn and play for peace of mind and as a hobby. Do you have any suggestions on how can I improve my speed ? I don't wish to find absolute notes, I rather want to focus only on relative notes.

Exactly not all songs starts from sa..

Fantastic

Mam do you have offline school of music.

The question is still unanswered. How do you know the song starts from sa or pa?

Did u mean Here root note sa as a scale of the song right
