Sa Re Ga Ma - Vocal Trainer 2.0

The Sa Re Ga Ma Vocal Trainer App is designed to assist beginners and music enthusiasts in their vocal training journey. Its structured approach is particularly beneficial for those interested in learning classical music under the tutelage of experienced Pandits, musicologists, and other renowned experts in the field.

Specifically tailored for absolute beginners, the Singing Riyaz app assumes no prior singing experience. It emphasizes the importance of training the vocal cords as a foundational step before delving into Indian Classical Music Ragas or songs.

In Hindustani classical music, seven fundamental notes, referred to as swaras, serve as the basis for musical expressions. These are Shadaj, Rishabha, Gandhara, Madhyama, Panchama, Dhaivata, and Nishada—often abbreviated as Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni, with Sa acting as the root note upon which the octave is built. Collectively known as sargam, these notes are essential in vocal training.

For an effective practice routine, users are encouraged to:

• Practice each exercise 5-7 times.
• Listen to the accompanying track 3-4 times before starting.
• Maintain a calm and patient demeanor throughout the exercises to observe and control vocal movements effectively.
• Gradually increase daily practice hours for optimal progress.

The app provides a variety of daily vocal exercises that cover both ascending (आरोही) and descending (अवरोही) scales. Users can engage in repetitive patterns using swaras to develop muscle memory and vocal control.

These exercises are comprehensive and facilitate a deeper understanding of various music styles. Even seasoned musicians incorporate similar practices into their routines. Regular riyaz (practice) aids in refining vocal quality and enhancing concentration skills.
