How to read SARGAM
  • CAPITAL LETTERS Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
  • small letters Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
  • with # [hash] or ^ [exponent] = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)
  • Letter/Alphabet ONLY = Medium Pitch/Normal blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or  a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
  • Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote] = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
  • Notes in { } “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
  • A Note in ( ) “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
  • A “~” between two Notes  = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.
  • Few “….” (dots) after a note = Play and hold that note

  1. Hello,

    Your website has been very helpful for me to learn notes for my keyboard.
    Just a quick question as I couldn’t find the answer anywhere on the website, what does a note followed by ” double quotes signify?

    Thanks

    1. I think that anything that is written after and on top of a note signifies that the note should be played on its higher octave. Similarly, anything that is written before and at the bottom of a note means that the note has to be played on lower octave.

    1. Though I’m not sure, but this songs seems to be based on Raag Jhinjhoti.

      Aaroh:
      S R M P D S’

      Avroh:
      S’ n D P M G R G S
