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

[@maruthikaranth7152]

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.

[@swtshree25]

I can identify the base note or Shruti but I'm not very good at identifying all the other notes of the song. I think I've not put in efforts to identify them. I must start to do that to learn/explore the music. I've not learnt playing instrument either but I know the names of 12 notes w.r.t base note/shruti and can sing them. I somehow find it easy to identify the raaga (known ones 😅) based on the feel/bhaava/emotions the song brings out. You're right 👍 the aalaap and most importantly the important phrases 'pakad' (along with vaadi samvadi aaroh avroh) which help not only to identify the raaga but to bring out the bhaava/feel of the raaga.

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.

[@drmuthuintegrative-lifesty4639]

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.

[@malaradhakrishnani8822]

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.😅

[@goliviraja2941]

You have gained very good musical skills and I Congratulate you. But these tougher skills are for few lucky ones only. Not for all. God bless you Pratibha jee.❤❤❤❤

[@ananddesai2010]

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.

[@vinayaklimaye]

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!

[@mrpurohitjii]

That was a very informative video but ma'am a (probably stupid) question..when you give the example of Ae haerat-e-aashiqui, why can't the first note be treated as Sa and treat the rest of the notes with reference to that Sa? Why should it be treated as a Pa?

[@MomExpress07]

Amazing video ma'am 👏

[@shamanjitsingh7267]

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

[@VoxGuru]

As mentioned, a deep understanding of the 12 swaras and recognizing their position relative to the root note will help with this.

Hi

[@swtshree25]

@VoxGuru Thank you for the video and the techniques on how to identify the notes of songs 🙏❤️ I can identify the base/root note or Shruti of the song but I'm not very good at identifying all other notes of the song. I think I've not put in efforts to identify them. I must start to do that to learn/explore the music. I've not learnt playing instrument either but I know the names of 12 notes w.r.t base note/shruti and can sing them in different shrutis. Based on feel/bhaava the song brings out im somehow intuitively able to identify the raaga (only those I know 😅) on which the song is based on.

[@VoxGuru]

If you are able to sing all 12 notes in different shruti s then you are very close to identifying notes! We also have a few self learning courses on the VoxGuru app which puts a structured method to identify the notes of any tune. You could explore this too!

[@godslove2182]

Yeah it would be better

[@meld4944]

Why is it that on Indian TV or in general, Bollywood movies, voices sound “high pitched”? This makes us tired quickly by the shriekiness of sounds. Whereas, in another country i now live in, voices sound quieter. Is it because of the voice technique you have divulged? Should we use a “mixed” voice instead of head or throat even when talking in order to sound appealing and not loud and also preserve our vocal health?

[@VoxGuru]

Observing your vocal technique even while speaking is a great thought! ❤️ I do it during my meetings to ensure I’m not overstraining especially when I get more dramatic or energetic. Each person has a certain natural resonance. Some are naturally loud whereas some are more gentle in their sound. It is best to flow with your natural voice projection to start with and then gradually develop it through voice training.

[@JS50108]

What I have learned from this video? Nothing, as I listened to a lady talking bla bla bla…. You should use a musical instrument to demonstrate it.

[@drury2d8]

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.

[@VoxGuru]

There is a difference between having perfect pitch and the skill we are developing here. Perfect pitch is where you directly identify the absolute note that is being played. Like identifying A2, C3 etc just by ear. But here we are not doing that. All we are doing is, identifying the root note (here also we don't identify it directly by ear, but we remember the sound and then match it using a keyboard). Then we decode other notes relative to the root, which again doesn't require perfect pitch but more an understanding of the 12 notes and intervals in an octave. So the ability to decode notes, relative to a certain frame of reference is much easier to do than identifying the absolute note. So good news, more people can do this even if you don't have perfect pitch 😊

[@drury2d8]
