Suppose you are a guitar, piano/harmonium, or violin player and would like to learn ways of approaching music and singing from the Nada Yoga perspective in a way that integrates with Western Music. In that case, this training develops the voice through a calibration process.

This process also has a therapeutic aspect that introduces working with emotions and states of consciousness. Students learn Ragas, which are more than just a set of notes. In the words of the great sitarist Ravi Shankar, a raga is a coloring of the spirit. In other words, as a result, we can know a "fine shade of emotion."

The training sets the stage for creativity and improvisation. You will learn exercises to develop Ragas while dozens of guitar and voice tutorials reveal how you can improvise with the notes of these musical scales. The training also teaches timing and rhythm so those who enjoy kirtan singing can better understand the practice's enhancements.

Last but not least is the spiritual dimension. You will learn exquisite devotional songs from the ancient tradition of Carnatic music that you can sing as a solo singer, starting with your private spiritual practice when you are Alone With The Alone. We teach this profound form of mysticism as "Singing For God." These beautiful songs can also be performed for groups at public events to raise consciousness.
