# Can I learn dhrupad, thumri or bhajan on the Hindustani Vocal course?

 Updated 6 November 2026

 

Yes. The Hindustani Vocal course teaches [dhrupad](/en-in/vocal/hindustani-classical/dhrupad), [thumri](/en-in/vocal/hindustani-classical/thumri) and [bhajan](/en-in/vocal/hindustani-classical/bhajan) as electives at Intermediate and Advanced, while its core stays khayal. Module 2C has a dhrupad alap, a dhrupad in Chautal, a thumri in Deepchandi with bol banao, a bhajan in a raga and a nirgun bhajan of Kabir.

In module 3C you can close your concert with a thumri or a bhajan, or with a dhrupad or dhamar item.
