Indian Music preserves that the study should be gurumukh, face to face. This is the only way to imbibe the fineries into one's instincts, the subconscious recording of internal music creation of finest Indian form.The vidyarthi requires continuous feedback from the guru till perfection of the notes, grammar & the nature of the raga.
Each raga has its own nature & signature, apart from the notes that it contains. The grammar preserves this to most extent; the actual rendering has to be captivated from guru to shishya for initital beginning.The student then extends the same through basic rules, nature & imagination.
Riyaz is Persian word corresponding to English “practice,” or the French “repetition.” As in any classical tradition, it is the essential foundation without which the student will never improve. During these sessions, Guru focuses on the basics of how to properly do riyaz. Through rigorous, extended practice sessions the student is taught discipline and dedication. Sargam and other exercises strengthen both the right and left hands and dramatically improve tonal clarity. Every student will leave these sessions with a renewed sense of how to practice properly at home and with a firmer foundation for future learning challenges.
A shibir is much more than a workshop; it is a learning experience both essential and unforgettable for any student of Indian classical music. The students spend three uninterrupted days with the guru. The world is left behind for a concentrated focus on music. Musicians of all levels are present, yet each student comes away with an uncanny sense that the lessons were contoured to their specific musical and spiritual needs.
The learning becomes slightly more sequestered. The students will eat at least one meal together every day, as even mundane things become a part of the learning process. At most shibirs there are three levels of students, roughly beginner, intermediate and advanced (sometimes with a special group of very advanced students) who will normally work on one theme raga. Occasionally the shibir will be conducted as a “guru purnima” and each student or small group of students will prepare a raga specially selected for them to perform for the Guru.
The highlights are impromptu performances by the guru that reach beyond even Guru's own mastery in the concert hall. The shibir will have a profound and lasting effect on the student's appreciation for and understanding of this music.
The chilla varies in length, from three days to a week, and maximal isolation from outside distractions is essential. Its anticipated benefits for the student are far beyond what they are from a shibir. The student can expect their understanding and playing to move up one entire level in just a few days. This concentrated learning is accomplished through a narrow focus on playing fundamentals. Long, often repetitive sessions drill the students. These group sessions put the students' physical, mental and spiritual endurance to an extreme test. Sargam is, as always, the foundation. Sargam sessions can be complemented by a palta, bandish and taans in a given raga. Perhaps the one thing that most sets the chilla apart from other group sessions is the extent to which every aspect of the students' day is channeled into a focused rhythm that illuminates the meaningful interplay, and hoped for unity between life and music.
