Recommended Sargams

We have more than 25 pre-created Sargams (also known as Alankars) for you. It can get a bit challenging as to what to do with them. This page will guide you through this process. Of course if you have had training before then these Sargams will not daunt you at all and you can get right into thick of things. But for someone new to this, we will provide guidance.

• I have not been exposed to Sargams (i.e. Alankars), how should I start
  The simplest ones to start with are "Aaroha Avaroha" (ascend and descent), SRG RGM GMP (the threes) and SRGM RGMP GMPD (the fours). The trick is to listen to the entire Sargam a few times before you start singing. This way you will get a feel for it before you start. 

• Ok, now that I have a hang of it, what next.
  You can then tackle SRSRG, SG RM and S SRS SRGRS. The pattern will become clear once you listen to them few times. 

• How does the grouping feature work.
  Our unique Grouping feature is designed to help with the pattern-understanding and Sur sequence. 

• How long should I practice each day.
  More the merrier. But the key is that you should enjoy the practice. If practice becomes a chore, it loses meaning. You should start enjoying the notes, the purity it brings, the calmness of our music. We recommend five minutes per day, but consistency is important. Don't start by punishing yourself by doing this for 2 hours first day, 1 hour second day and then just stop. We would rather see you practice 5 minutes every day, and let it grow organically. 

• What are the Lessons and 5 minute Sargams
  We have grouped the Sargams into five lessons. Once you are comfortable with small Sargams, try the lessons from Lesson 1 to Lesson 5. The 5-minute Sargam is a unique feature where we have collated Sargams to span 5 minutes. Two such Sargams exist today, a simple one and a difficult one. This way, if you can spare five minutes (who cannot?) just use 5 minute Sargam for your practice. 

• What about the Raag Sargams
  Ah, that is the next step. If you want to practice a particular Raag, then choose that raag. We have pre-created Sargams for you. N
