I dont think it makes much difference...some times you will get the only benefit of Scale....otherwise the teacher has to shift into your Scale to teach you but in same gender case, you will find no scale shifting issues...

No. Gender hardly matters. It's the knowledge the teacher has that matters.

Who decided that black 1/2 is for males n 4/5 is for females. A classical singer is the one who can sing in any scale and covers the whole range of harmonium.

Hello Himanshu, No there is no such benefits of learning vocals from same gender as music has nothing to do with it,only thing that matters is way of teaching and knowledge as well.

Good question himanshu. When a guru teaches music, he/she looks much beyond the parameters like the student's age, gender, nationality. The sentiment should ideally be the same for the guru. When a student-teacher relationship is established, the teacher is more concerned about the comfort of the student,...

When a student-teacher relationship is established, the teacher is more concerned about the comfort of the student, and any difference like scale usually doesn't come in the way. read less

Is carnatic music easy?
Carnatic music is not inherently easy, as it requires mastering intricate ragas, talas, and gamakas. However, with structured learning, dedication, and regular practice, it becomes more approachable over time.
This is Gurukool, Pune. I am the concept director who is passionate about research that may be scientific/ human or artistic. Right now I am in the quest building a musical drama called ISM-In search of meaning. It has taken about 2-years of continuous thinking to conceive and structure this drama. Needless to say it is for the inspiration of aesthetics and a quest for getting a step closure to the ultimate truth; The God. I wish to get contributions from all as to what they think about meaning whether in words, texts, poetry, music- both sound and silence. If you would please share some thought provoking questions in your mind or episodes or selective texts or some creative connections I shall offer by gratefulness at the very beginning. I wish this exercise fetches me at least 1000-ideas. Then it is in public domain.
