If you are a starter, try to learn the basics of musics which will really help you a lot further in your future musical journey. Viz. sense of 12 swaras(notes) in North Indian Style, then the concept basi Ragas in ten Thatas. Chhota kheyals with Alaps. Taans etc.

You can learn in initial stage simple bhajans and other songs like "Payoji Maine Ram Ratan dhan payo....."or "Radhe rani de daro bansi mori....." there are many other classical songs too from filmy sangeet...you can start up with that.

I am a hindustani classical singer and have versatile voice suiting all types of songs.
In case you are talking to specify the ragas for a start.. bhupali, bageshri n bhairav are the best ones to start with.. to have control on the surs practising all the ten thats will also help as it covers all the komal and shudha swaras.

Further, when its indian classical songs, please understand that catering songs which have a touch of both sufi and classical to it will groom your voice more . Would request you to look into songs like manmohini morey (from movie Yuvraj) . Also, songs like madhuban me radhika, nache mann mora magan, mann tarpat hari darshan ko aaj etc.would come under the classical category. read less

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.
