In a wider sense "Hindustani music" covers all north Indian singing styles. The field is vast. There are the classical styles (Dhrupad, Khayal) that call for rigorous training before you can hope to attain precision, depth, emotional "color" and vitality in improvisation. There are the semi-classical styles (Thumris, Ghazals), traditional styles (Bhajan, Kajri, Tappa, Kirtan). Even Bollywood draws as much on traditional Sufi qawwalis and classical ragas as on western music.
My music classes are meant both for curious newcomers and professionals. What's important is the desire to sing, to open yourself up to new horizons, experiment with your voice, with musical notes and rhythms, all at your own pace. My approach attempts to gradually lead our western habits of learning music towards a more Indian way that draws on the memory of the ear more than the eye. The richness, force and subtlety of the Indian tradition will take your voice beyond its usual limits. Music will becomes a way of working on your own self, awakening something deeper within.
The spirit of Indian music led me to work out a way leading to greater freedom. Singing this way put me more at ease with myself and with others, giving me stability, dynamism and flexibility at the same time. The famed Indian "morning practice" brings a new depth to one's breath and voice, learning classical voice techniques frees up the expression of one's inner feelings, develops the instinct to improvise, in new and unexpected ways.
