I want to get better and singing, how do I start
You have landed up with right app! First thing you do is to select your "Sa" and start singing.What is my ideal setup.
Your ideal setup is a good bluetooth headphone with a microphone. Apple airPod is an excellent choice. Many other choices exist. The key is to practice in a relatively noise-free environment.
If the phone receives other sound signals the sur-accuracy determination suffers.What is the first step I need
The very first step is to select your "Sa", also known as "Base Sur" and select your Music Type.
For most male singers, start with "Base Sur" or "Sa" of K1 or C#. Don't worry, if it is too low or too high it is easy to change in future.
Next step is to choose your Music Type. If you are a classical singer select Classical, else select Light. If you don't know, or are unsure, just select "Classical"Why do you have "Music Type"? What should I select and why
If you are unsure, just select "Classical". So why do we have this? It suffices to say that Classical Singers use what is known as "Gandhar Tuning", whereas light music singers use "Tempered Tuning". We have both, so make your choice. Again, if not sure, go with ClassicalOk, I selected Music Type and my Base Sur (AKA Sa), what next.
You can either practice your notes with real time feedback, or you can go and sing along the pre-made Alankars.Why should I practice Alankars every day.
Your Alankars is basis for singing. Even a small amount of daily Alankar practice will do wonders. Confidence level goes up, you can hit notes easily, you can concentrate on other aspects of singing such as singing words, playing with taal/lay etc. Just 5 minutes every day will change things.How do I make sure my Sa is accurate
What should be my daily routine
First rule is simple. You have to practice on every day that ends in "Y".
We suggest 10 minutes per day, minimum. Spend 5 minutes practicing your Sur accuracy, and 5 minutes with a set of Alankars.How do I use the Sur Practice Tab to get Sureelapan
