Hi friends, This is Anuja and welcome to my venture 'Out of the Shruti Box'.
This channel focuses on music and all things related to it. Due to my specialization being in Hindustani Music, a lot of videos focus on the aspect of Hindustani Music. However, I am also keen in exploring and sharing my views on various other genres and topics related to music!
Please note: I do not post videos on a regular basis. This makes the channel archival in nature.
Warm wishes!

Your voice is amazing. Very clear. Your pronunciations are musical. Is that something that comes when you learn to sing?
Namaste sister, I am raju from karnataka, I am interested in sitar, I want to know whether it is important to know about hindustani music classical before I get tuition in sitar?please inform me.
Amazing ❤
Brilliant explanation Ma'am..
Jadoo bhari aankhowali, mere humsafar ( Refugi) also on Yaman
Very useful video. Thanks
Also, when Anuja introduced us to Tanuja, she really got me.<<being sincere>><<no mischief meant>>🙏
Just like I tried to explain my friends that I may be an Electrical Engineer but I cannot know everything about all the Different Industries an Electrical Engineer works in. They just thought and still think that I know nothing about Electrical Engineering. I quit Engineering this year (2024), after 10 years, because there's no science in it, only management and I am a bad manager. I am doing/studying/trying music now but myself, at the age of 34😅. I have had a terrible experience with Gurus all my life. I am sure Anuja is a better guru for me than anyone I would like to confront. I started learning about Indian Classical with a video by Anuja, suggested by Adam Neely, many years ago.

I want to learn music from you. What should I do? Please guide.
Beautifully explained. And equally, the skills from learning raags/memory drawing feed back into songs/the other kinds of drawing, and vice versa!
Great...

U r genious Ur explanation is mind blowing
Where have you been Anuja? Your voice is like meditation.
Thank you. Through your videos I’m gaining an appreciation for Indian music. My head is moving from annoying high pitched drawls to an emotional thing that can be enjoyed. To pleasant stories than can be told. And as you’ve shown here - songs and stories than can evolve and grow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful singing
This explanation was out of this world !! You are an excellent teacher !! God bless you always !!
You are an excellent teacher !! You explain the intricacies of music so beautifully making it sound so simple . The best thing is that you don’t show a pompous attitude . Of course you are an amazing singer too . May Maa Saraswati bless you abundantly always and forever !!
good
Plss Rageshree k upar based songs bataiyega.....🙏🙏🙏
Hello! I am researching for an article. Can you please answer these three queries? 1. Is it correct to say that compositions in Indian classical music--Carnatic and Hindustani--since the beginning are all composed primarily for singing? 2. If so, since when have classical compositions in Carnatic and Hindustani been adapted for instrumental music such as sarod, veena, etc.? 3. Are there compositions in Indian classical music--early and contemporary--that are for instruments only just as there are compositions in western music for piano alone, for clarinet aloe, etc.? Thank you for your time.
Great analogy! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They really gave me a refreshing perspective.
You are a great teacher 😊

Sā sā sā, sa re ga, ga re gā; sa re ga, ga re gā. (Sā = 2 mātrā) Ma ma ma, gā rē; re ga ga, re re sā. (sa = 1 mātrā = C♯) 0. Dear Devī, where have you gone; where have you gone. Come back, dearest goddess; come back, O bles-sed one. Sa re ga, ma ma mā; ga ma pa, pa pa pā. Ma ma dha, dha ni⁻ dhā; pa pa pa, ma dha pā. (ni⁻ = komal ni) Pa pa ṡa, ṡa ṡa nī⁻ ; ṡa ṙe ṙe, ṡa ni⁻ dhā. (ṡa & ṙe = higher sa & re) Dha ni⁻ ni⁻, ṡa ṡa ni⁻ dhā; pa dha dha, pa pa mā. 1. Anujā Kamat Devī, so loving and sincere. You left us all and went, nobody knows where. You offered us a new world, of tāl and harmony. We want so much to thank you, O dearest Devī-jī. (Ref) 2. The goddess of our homeland, the pride of all India. You are our Mahā - Lakshmī, and Jagadambā. You showed us how to live, in peace and unity. You dedicate your whole life, to make us all happy. (Ref) 3. You are our golden sunshine, that makes our lives so bright. You are our friend and teacher, you are our guiding - light. You never would forsake us, you’d never let us drown. We never will forget you, to you we all bow down. (Ref) 4. You told us of our duties, how we must do our part. That we should help others, always from the heart. May God always bless you, plus we want you to know; you make us very happy, and we all love you so. (Ref) 5. Come back O precious Devī, for you have done your part. Your good works was the answer, to every bleeding - heart. We thank you, for your service; you gave to all, your best. You gave to us, a future; and now we'll do the rest. (Ref) .
Nice way of explaining! You make it so simple!
peace to you! great explanation
I like your analogy. I can say from experience that it is relatively easy to draw from a reference (Portrait/Scene) than from imagination but drawing from a reference teaches you enough fundamentals to be able to draw from imagination. Analyzing a song as a part of learning has greatly helped me improve my musicality over the months. Most songs in the past 30-40 years seem to have been composed based off of Western Scales rather than Raag. It has been very difficult to understand Raag, as the concept seems to be so fluid and every teacher seems to have their own interpretation and explanation for it. I hope it all makes sense one day.
❤❤❤ to see you return all of a sudden! ❤❤❤
Anuja you forgot the whole big treasure of songs by O P Nayyar who used this raaga so ingeniously
Mai academy hu NGO chla rhi music se

My grand daughter Ciya is just 10 years old, She is good in drawings painting & Music too! For last two to three years she is learning शास्रिय संगीत Your present link is very useful to her!
I am n your channel since many year may be before corona lock down ! very good imressive in simple language you explain
Intresting 😂❤
You are really knowledgeable and I thank you for sharing this. Dennis Mahabir from New Jersey, USA.
The beautiful interweaving of drawing and music used in this video somehow reminded me of the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter. It delves into certain complex ideas while illustrating how these themes interweave in mathematics, art, and music.
Excellent explanation correlating with drawing art.
Very insightful. I love your channel. I think you are saying that a song has a structure to it and Raag is more like an improvisation using a given mode or scale. I like your analogy to drawing. I also appreciate what you said about some artists are better at one type than the other and that we shouldn't expect all artists to be excellent at both.
According to me, more than it being about scales and modes, Raags have a framework of phrases!
Thats a fantastic analogy
