I don't know who taught you music . I am sure that you had the capacity to grasp every detail you heard from your Guru . You have the Guru's blessings and love.
Hello! I am s boy from spsin and I'm in love with indian classical!. My desire to lesrn was so strong a few years ago that I traveled to india and stsyed there 6 months studying indian classical. Back then there was nothing like this on KZread, yiu are doing a great work sharing all this knowledge with everyone so they dont have to travel to learn. Keep this series up!!
I’m a retired classically trained muso and a military band conductor . been so my whole life. I’ve never come across someone like you who knows and can articulate the concepts of Indian music like the way you do.I’ve attended numerous masterclasses. But You have an amazing gift which I believe is divine. Not many performers can teach and vice versa. But you do both so easily. And your practical examples demonstrate your intense knowledge of the subject. And to think that all of this is free……. Can only come from a passionate and generous heart. Keep it up. You have greatness and legendary written all over you. It’s my dream to be able to play my flute like the way you sing 😊😊keep it up. Would love to meet you someday just to shake your hand.
Mam i have never seen somebody explaining indian classical like this you are doing a great service to music may god bless you. Please be a teacher you have potential to become one of the finest of them. I am so thankful to stumble upon your videos. Respect 🙏🙏
I wish I had you as a teacher when I was first learning about Indian classical music 🎵🌈

I must say you have a deep knowledge of Indian Classical music with good & easy way of explanation. Secondly you yourself a nice singer too. All the best to you & your chanel.
Probably the best intro to Indian classical that I have ever came across. Excellent work. Sincere thanks!
Wow! I had no idea that a singer could sing at more than one different octave level like you demonstrated.

Most people have a 3 1/3 octave range.
Once I started watching these episodes, I was unable to move away .. :-) and keep watching episodes after episode. Thanks for sharing this invaluable knowledge freely, Your presentation is very amazing with genuineness, keep it up
Awesome ! I love your channel. I am a physicist by education & training and data scientist by profession but do not have any knowledge of music and found this place to begin the journey ! keep the good work going & best wishes to you and everyone reading !
I have never heard classical music explained so well and sung so well, you are such a treasure
Just a couple of months back, have started learning Hindustani Classical. I found your first 3 episodes an eye opener and has given me the confidence that proper understanding of swaras, saptak, will enhance the joy of learning and singing. Thanks a ton to you and deeply appreciate your efforts.
your the best teacher, very smoothly clear cancept explained thank you very much
I really had a feeling sitting with my guruji at their place. Art has a worth beyond imagination. It's a great job, not charging anything for such clear knowledge
Abuja you are doing great by providing valuable information which one has to dig for in books and you providing in a touch on mobile phone. I like to thank you for the contribution to the music lovers and the youngsters who have to take competitive examination. God bless you and PEACE BE WITH YOU.
You are a gifted musician + an excellent teacher who has lucidly simplified the music theory to make it interesting for the layman. Very well done!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you. This series makes me feel so happy from within. Feeling is quite inexplicable. Thank you for your teachings.
Anuja you have filled in a void for music lovers who are naive to classical music. Appreciate the way you explain.
With due respect, dil jeet liya aapne. I wish the episodes could be translated into every possible language to reach every soul. Best of luck in the future!
I deliberately watched the ad for you, can't believe such great content is for free on KZread. Now I do understand some of the aspects of Indian music better, its very interesting!! May God bless you sister.🙏❤
Hi Anuja, I have watched all your episodes and am fascinated by your voice, your in depth knowledge of the subject and the ease with which you explain the intricacies of Indian Classical music. The examples provided by you of popular bollywood songs helps immensely in understanding the concepts. I am looking forward to future episodes.Keep up the good work.
Anuja...I just love watching your videos and learning from them.Though Im a student of Carnatic music I simply enjoy the way you teach the nuances of music. God Bless.
My very first effort at getting some basic knowledge of classical music. You are a gifted teacher!
Anuja you are doing great service to innumerable lovers of Indian Music. I would simply ignore stupid comments from closed minded, people with negative attitude. Love your videos. Bless you, young lady.
WOW! Thank you for this wonderful seva. What a divine voice you have! I wish I could sing so beautifully. Even just to find and learn my head voice is a goal for me right now, because Hindustani classical touches my heart so much and I want to be able to have a better range for singing bhajans. Har Har Mahadev!
We know Indian Classical Music is great. Its Divine and hence, asks for immense dedication to learn it . It just cannot be ones hobby. Now that makes it less popular temporarily but more and more you start understanding it the more you get immersed into its beauty and devotion. Anuja , you are doing a great job to explain its beauty in a mist fabulous and interesting way . This is a true devotion and dedication and servise to the Music. Wish you all the success in life and may you be remembered as a true and spiritual promoter of the Indian Classical Music. What actually happens in the practical world is that the learned people try to give themselves more time to refine their skills and then to showcase their art to the world but one should have some basic knowledge to be able to grasp and understand its beauty....hence you are doing a real great job... Lots of love and best wishes ❤️❤️👍👍🙏🙏
Excellent, you are exactly how an ideal Guru should be. You make it so simple understand, which otherwise look quite complex.
Anuja - cant explain in better words - simply amazing!
You are a joy to be instructed by. Can't be any better, so thank you.
I never find the theory part this interesting ❤️ Your way of representation is too good. Thank you.
You are simply great. Wow.
HI Ajuna, I love watching your videos and learning from you! THANK YOU.
I just love your voice… and the way of presenting everything is just awesome. God Bless You 🙏
Dear Kid ! You have a wonderful talent and it`s amazing.. So sweet you that you explain...God Bless You.

Love your work. It's precisely what I was looking for; You've helped me gain some understanding of music.
itane kam umar me aapane itani gayaki hasil ki hai hats of you

Hi Anuja! You and your work are simply awesome. The way you explain things is just great because it's so easy to digest everything with your way.

Hello Anuja, Kam very much thankful to you for bingung me from only 'enjoying' of indian music, to 'understanding, enjoying and loving' the music. #loveyouaslovemusic
mind blowing. .hats off to the way u make everything simple to understand
Anuja: this is outstanding. now that i am trying to reconcile the keyboard with guitar, flute and diatonic harmonica (each key is a different harp!) with Sufi and Metal music at the same time, i have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out the four-string guitar with a custom string and position arrangement i have come up with so it is as easy to play Indian and Rock music by tuning the four stings according to the singer's pitch... your explanations clarify some of the things that i have been stumped by. brilliant. thank you.
Hare Krishna Anuja Kamat. Wonderful classes n keep uploading the good work. I started learning Hindustani classical music since year 2000. Your classes are very informative n helpful. Since you sang Hare Krishna Hare Rama, I would like to say something about this song. I am an ISKCON practicing devotee since 15 years. Although this song became very popular, this song was meant to mock the institution which was new at that time. They were trying to show that people take drugs n sing Hare Krishna, Hare Rama. Actually our founder acarya Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada transformed the lives of hippies who were taking drugs into happies. Now this Hare Krishna movement is popular all over the World n we have completed 50 years. So chant ..... Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare, n be Happy.

thank you for your videos. I discovered you through Adam Neely. I am an American musician. I play European classical, American Jazz and American pop music. My challenge with Indian classical music is because I am also a Christian. In any event, thank you for what you do.

Indian classical music takes its roots from, and is rightly aimed towards, the philosophical and contemplative culture that inspired and gave structure to it, while I'm not sure that Western classical has "evolved" in the same way, or whether it has moved away from (or ignored) its philosophical and religious underpinnings, within a skeptical modern society, for a couple hundred years. Both cultures have modern- and contemporary-derived styles as a result of more commercial or "secular" pursuits over time (and in the West lots of imported influences), or even a self- or socially-conscious focus , I.e. not spiritual or contemplative, but the "spiritual" should never be cast away, culturally, or banished to some remote island of niche. It is the source. Same can be said, in my layman's opinion, of Negro spirituals being the Black American equivalent (with its more tragic origin and socially-conscious philosophy). It is contemplative in its own right. Many times the authenticity and battle-tested rigor of the old revitalizes the new with its focus on spontaneity and in-the-moment experience. That's what she's doing in her videos for Indian classical music: sharing the beauty, philosophy, and obvious technical rigor and excellence (which we literally hear!) as a real, present, relevant and current thing with meaning and impact, with both her local audirence,, who get it, hopefully, and the international audience who just enjoy it aesthetically. I appreciate and encourage that, rather than seeing what came before mystical and philosophically like museum information from stuffy, patriarchal, ancient dudes, (apply to any culture) and not giving it is contextual and present value (it has value). Sorry for the long post. Oh I'm a Christian too and totally get what you're hinting at.
Thanks for those videos , i play guitar and i'm learning tabla , and i didn't know anything about swar , shruti , theory of raag and how to compare (if possible ) with the western notes and scales system . You explain very well and give both english and hindi notations , explain the sanskrit roots of some words , that's really , this is exactly what i was looking for . Thank you , and best greetings from France.

julien vandal Just one thing , as you know very well , it is wrong to say : hindustani "classical" music , not only because classical is an english word , it's also wrong to say western classical , why ? Because classical music is actually a period in the western "scientist" or "knowledgeable"music , from mid 18th century to mid 19th , then , come the "romantic" period . Nowadays , there is still confusion with the word classical.

julien vandal Like many words, the term "classical" has many meanings. In general, "classical" refers to something well-established or at a high level. In English, "classical music" can be used broadly to refer to any orchestral, opera, or high level music from any time period, or more narrowly to describe the "classical" era (19th and early 19th centuries). The Sanskrit term, shastriya to describe the music here, means "of the shastra", which is a treatise or codifying text. The English term "classical" is an apt translation for this, because it is connotative of well-described, high-level art forms.
