C Scale (Safed 1) Sa-Pa Tanpura for Female Vocal Riyaz | 1 Hour Practice Drone by VD
Who it's for: Female vocalists with medium-range voices. Also suits beginners who are just starting sargam practice. C Scale (Safed 1) is the most common starting point for female singers in Indian classical music.
How to use: Start with slow aaroh-avroh (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa') over this drone. Spend 5 minutes on each swar, holding and listening for pitch accuracy. Then move to basic alankar patterns. For meditation, simply sit and listen, focusing on the Sa-Pa resonance.
Raags that work in C Scale: Yaman, Bhairav, Bhupali, Kafi, Des, Khamaj, Bageshri.
Created by Vidyadhar Sharma (VD Khandal) using a professional-grade tanpura with precise tuning. I'm a trained musician and music educator - check my other videos for sargam practice guides, raag tutorials, and harmonium lessons.
