    I am inspired to sing in Sanskrit along with tanpura. I am a male, but have found that the key of A# (middle, 6.5 kattai, not the very low A#) is perfect for my voice. This is the range of the female tanpura. My question is this: do males ever play female tanpuras? Is it based solely on musical compatibility or is there more to it? Please let me know. I love your videos, explanations, and beautiful energy! Thank you!! Jai ma!

    I came here to learn a bit about it, but then you mentioned the notes pa and sa...this is new to me. I only know regular western notes. I love the hypnotic sound. I learned a bit about Indian music through listening to George Harrison and The Beatles.

    I first heard the sound of this beautiful instrument during a nada yoga class in India. Since then I have fallen in love with it. How can I learn to play it? Is it difficult? Can I use it for music therapy?

    • @UrmiMusic
      @UrmiMusic  3 роки тому +1

      It is very easy to play. You just have to pluck the strings one after the other in succession. Unfortunately, I don't know about music therapy, you will have to ask an expert in that field.

    In a male tanpura, are the middle two strings tuned to the regular or tonic Sa? Please clarify, because in this video ua-cam.com/video/xbW94-sHLF0/v-deo.html, the middle two Sa refer to the tonic Sa, I think. Please clarify

      Tune the Tanpura. Listen carefully and try to hear Sa. Then sing Sa - hold as long as you can. Repeat a few times. Then sing other notes one-by-one. That can be followed by sargams and paltas.
