Where can I learn dhrupad singing online?

You can learn dhrupad singing online with KalaSudha, in live one-to-one lessons with a vetted teacher. Dhrupad, the oldest Hindustani vocal genre still sung, opens with a long unaccompanied alap, an unmetred exploration of the raga, then sings a fixed composition with the pakhawaj drum.

Your first stage at Foundation is voice production. You practise long tones across the range a dhrupad alap covers, from the low tonic up to the fourth or fifth note above the upper tonic. Our courses run in levels, and KalaSudha adds workshops and summer camps where enough learners sign up.
