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.
The Carnatic path
Everything is relative to one note.
Carnatic music starts from your Sa — your home note — and builds outward to drone, cycle, and raga. Walk it in order and each tool sets up the next.

Find your Sa
Every note you sing is relative to one home note. Find the one your voice settles into.

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

Feel the cycle
Rhythm in Carnatic music loops as a tala. Clap the cycle before you ever count it.

Map the ragas
The 72 Melakarta scales are the parents of every raga. Hear how each one ascends and descends.

Name what you hear
Tap a few notes and find every raga, scale, and chord that fits — the reverse of looking one up.

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

The Western path
Hear it, feel it, then play it.
Start with single notes and a steady pulse, build up to chords on an instrument, and end making your own groove. Theory arrives after the feel.

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

Feel the pulse
Time signatures are a feeling, not a formula. Walk from a single beat to lopsided odd meters.

Build a chord
Stack notes into chords, hear the quality, and see the intervals light up on a piano.

Make a groove

Write a progression
Chords in motion become songs. A guided chord-progression sketchpad is next on the bench.
