Also, the sound is very peaceful and soothing. It is also the best breath exercise for Bansuri.
I have personally felt that practicing Sa is very very important. So do not feel scared if you feel dizzy, just pause the exercise until you are normal again and start over. The reason is that your lungs are not used to this exercise. Yes, you will feel dizzy and light headed when you play the flute in your initial days. We will practice only Sa for almost one month, daily, until you feel dizzy.
Bansuri notes how to#
The resultant sound is the first sur Sa.Īlso, check out this youtube video on how to produce Sa and how to play the Sargam. Here the black color indicates covered holes and the white color indicates open holes.Ĭlose the first 3 holes from the blowing hole, properly with your fingers and blow with a moderate blow. Please see the below fingering chart for Bansuri. We will only play the other remaining notes.īefore learning to play all the notes, one first needs to know how to play Sa. Hence, we should not try it at this moment. re, ga, Ma, dha, & ni are played with half holes open, which is extremely difficult for any beginner. Initially, we do not need to worry about the komal notes and the shudh Ma. Hence in total we get 12 notes in one octave. Now, let us see which swara are pure, flat and/or sharp.Īs you can see, Sa & Pa are always shudh, Ma is never komal, and Re, Ga, Dha, Ni are never teevra. Teevra or Sharp swara, is one which is played at half note above the pure pitch. Komal or Flat swara, is one which is played at half note below the pure pitch. Shudh or Pure swara, is one which is played at its designated pitch. In order to learn about them, let us first discuss the different forms of notes. Apart from these 7 notes, there are 5 other notes which are placed in between them. Now, we all know that there are 7 notes in an octave. This means that you can play all the seven sur in almost all the 3 octaves through a Bansuri. For instrumentalists, this range is dependent on the instrument. For Hindustani Sangeet vocalists, the range is around 3 to 3.5 octaves. Uptil what notes and octave a performer is able to perform is known as his range. Hence, none of the notes are repeated in a Saptak. So what is a Saptak after all?Ī Saptak can be defined as a set of all succeeding notes starting from Sa. What is an octave? This word is commonly used in the western music. One of the most important lessons as far as any musical art is considered. Today, I shall share with you how to produce the notes. Well, hopefully, my previous posts have been useful to aspiring flautists like myself. You do not feel to do much now in this season. Summers are picking up here in India, and so is the heat.
