Some things are only in the teacher's book. Could you add things like taans aalaps etc to the OM Book?

Hi, i am shreejana from USA, New York. Guys, i am really nervous, scared and tense about this class. I DON'T SPEAK Hindi but understand little. This is not my language and i m trying to be classical singer. I am a new student, also i sing Hindi song. Is it really hard to learn classical ???? i have no idea!!

My daughter is enrolled for the HV101 course. She is making patterns and is learning the pentatonic scale. However is there a resource available somewhere where we can identify which patterns are used in the songs that are formed with pentatonic and other patterns? None of us are educated in music, so it is hard for us to understand the theory and link the patterns to the actual sound and tune of the song in that pattern. Can someone point us to a resource we can use for learning to relate the patterns learnt to songs. So as an example, how do I identify what patterns are used in the song, "Prathamana mana gananayaka charana". Thank you for your help.

While I would love to take a full course, I am unable to based on budget and time.For some of the English self study vocal courses available, they provide daily warmup exercises. I would love to have this available. Some inflections and styles require open throat, head voice etc which can be achieved with some good tips availble in the english training to reduce strain, breaking of voice during high notes etc

Since, as per the instructors, it is important that we can adjust our riyaaz to a comfortable range...during riyaaz, there is no feature to adjust pitch up or down...so we can sing and record in our range rather than current piano

How to upload recording.

Hello, Many a times there is need to check out recorded classes,when i we miss it or to listen again.Its very important facility given but unfortunately it is not downloadable at all .It takes 2 hrs or even more to get atleast 15 to 20 mins classes to download I am sure that every one might be facing this problem. I have already requested support team to do something about it.but they say it will take time..I hope there might be some solution to it like breaking the video into smaller chunks and then downloading etc....
