The lessons are theoretically grounded in Hindustani Music (North Indian Classical). However, relevant comparisons to "Western" approach of scales, tonic, modes, etc are also made, in order to appreciate and develop an understanding of a variety of music systems.

"Shruthi Mata, Laya Pita".
In Indian Classical Music, the tone and the rhythm are essentials to a strong foundational structure. This, in turn, would enable one to design and build complex musical structures culminating in the exploration of various ragas.

Ear-training is an essential aspect of learning music. It is important to hear and understand the nuances of the sounds we hear, be it the movement of the notes (sur) or the way it moves (Chhand/ Taal).

Once your musical sensibilities develop, they open your doors to the ways in which diiferent raagas are expanded and interpreted (i.e. raagdaari). Subsequently, this training also helps in picking up different genres of music to jam along and musically communicate with other musicians.
