ABOUT NOTES & SARGAM

This is an informal resource of musical notes of Indian, Bollywood and Hollywood songs and tunes, useful for those who love music and play some instrument.

Whatever is shared through this book, is out of author’s personal experiences.  The author is a self-taught Flutist who tries to reproduce the Sargam (Indian notations) of the songs/tunes etc., by playing them on flute. That’s why the Sargam or notations that you get in this website may differ from what a trained musician may offer. Hence, please use this website as a reference only and do not restrict yourself from improvisations.

It is for sure that this website will make you happy because, you will find here various Sargam (some call it notations, swaralipi, notes, etc.) for Hindi, English, Bengali and regional songs, tunes, theme music, jingles etc.. These songs and tunes, some are the rare ones, have been enlisted categorically to make it easier for you to find what you want.  As a result, you will be able to explore, play, learn and enjoy!

You will find here Sargams (Indian notations) of Hindi and non-Hindi songs and tunes which may help you to play them on your instruments.  Since, the author plays Bansuri (Bamboo Flute), he might sound a little bias towards reproducing Sargam more suitable to play on Bansuri.

But, having said that, it doesn’t mean that these Sargam cannot be played on other instruments, like harmonium, keyboard, violin, sitar etc. They can be, indeed. If Bansuri produces “Sa Re Ga Ma”, so do other instruments, irrespective of their make or type.  So, I’m pretty sure that with little improvisation, these notations will hold equally good for playing on any type of instrument. 

These Sargam notations are playable on multiple instruments like, Bansuri (Flute), Harmonium, Guitar, Mouthorgan, Violin etc.
