  • 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.

  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
