Where can I learn thumri singing online with a live teacher?

Through KalaSudha, you can learn thumri online from a vetted teacher, live and one-to-one. Thumri is a semi-classical Hindustani genre of short love lyrics, built on bol banao. The singer repeats one line many times, giving each return a new melodic shape and a new shade of feeling.

At Foundation you practise ornaments lighter and quicker than khayal's, such as the murki, a fast turn of a few notes. The platform records each lesson, so you can replay how your teacher shapes a line. Our online academy runs in levels, with workshops and summer camps where enough learners sign up.
