Where to start, and where each tool fits.
Two short journeys through music — one Carnatic, one Western. Each step is a concept worth understanding, paired with the Lab that makes it click. Walk it in order, or jump to whatever you're curious about.
Start with Sa.
The Carnatic path · Everything is relative to one note.
Find your home note, settle into a drone, then explore — two short steps, then the rest of the room opens up. Walk it in order and each tool sets up the next.

Settle into the drone
A tanpura holds your Sa steady so your ear locks into the key. Leave it running while you practise.

Shape the gamakas
The slides and oscillations between notes are what make a raga a raga. Trace each one, then sing it back.

Find your groove.
The Western path · Hear it, feel it, then play it.
Drums, chords, strings, and ears — pick a room, spend ten minutes inside. Start with single notes and a steady pulse, build up to chords on an instrument, and end making your own groove.

Hear single notes
Before anything else, train your ear to recognise one note at a time. No timer, no buzzer.

Feel the pulse
