“Vocal Music” is referred to when someone “sings” a song with one's voice (that's how it is “vocal”). “Hindustani Music” is one of the primary styles of music that is cultivated in India. So, if anyone sings a song in Hindustani style, it's called “Hindustani...

“Vocal Music” is referred to when someone “sings” a song with one's voice (that's how it is “vocal”). “Hindustani Music” is one of the primary styles of music that is cultivated in India. So, if anyone sings a song in Hindustani style, it's called “Hindustani Vocal Music”. Now, I assume that you wanna know something more than just the literal meaning of the phrase “Hindustani vocal music”. So, please allow me to share a few interesting facts. Hindustani Music is one of the two primary styles cultured in India (the other style being “Carnatic”). Hindustani Music has been created by our ancestors in an extremely scientific and natural way — as many raagas represent the “mood or sense” of mother nature. For example, when you listen to raag “Megh”, you can feel the rainy season (“megh” means “cloud”). And the Hindustani Music can take you out of the world, it's an amazing feeling when you can just feel or sense the music. The sounds here produce certain vibrations that can heal ailments and produce a divinely atmosphere. If you like listening to Hindustani Music, it means that you are already special and blessed and if you can sing or play instruments in Hindustani Music (or Carnatic music or in any other style of music), then you are super blessed :). Just one request, please prohibit yourself from being compared with others — music gets its true meaning when it unites, not when we use it to devide. Happy learning/listening/practicing music (of any kind) :) 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.

I want to learn music (vocal). I have a problem that whatever I start I dont do it continuously The same goes with music How do I cope up with this problem?
You firstly determined and dedicated for this. Then you go to a good teacher who will finnally show you the right way. Vocal is not come out from vocal cord. It's come from NAD-BRAHMA. When you feel that then you realise musical tenacity

One should start with Kruthis and Devaranamas at first. They will enjoy what they are learning and it will be easy for them to go in depth once they know some songs based on certain ragas.
