स्वर पहचान (Swar Pehchaan)

Swar Pehchaan (स्वर पहचान) is a specialized ear-training web application designed for students and practitioners of Hindustani classical music, semi-classical vocalists, and instrumentalists (Harmonium, Flute, Violin, Sitar).

How to Improve Swar Gyan in Riyaz

In Indian classical music, pitch recognition is relative to the tonic drone (Adhara Shadja or Sa). Unlike Western fixed-pitch training, Hindustani ear training requires internalizing the interval relationship of each swar (Komal Re, Shuddha Re, Komal Ga, Shuddha Ga, etc.) against the resonance of the Tanpura.
