Common Questions

Everything about learning music with RagaGuru.

How do I practise a raga on RagaGuru?
Open Raga Practice, choose one of the 5 ragas, set your Sa, and follow the highlighted swara. RagaGuru listens in real time and colours each note green when it is in tune, or shows how sharp or flat you are — in both Sa-Re-Ga and Western notation. You move one swara at a time at your own pace.
Can I learn Indian classical ragas?
Yes — that is the whole point. RagaGuru gives you 5 ragas — Yaman, Bhupali, Bhairav, Desh and Purvi — each with aaroha, avaroha, pakad, characteristic phrases and the shruti (cent) position of every swara, plus live pitch feedback as you practise.
Do I need to know music theory?
No. RagaGuru is built for complete beginners. You don't need to read sheet music or know note names. Just tap the mic, follow the highlighted note on screen, and sing or play.
Which instruments work with RagaGuru?
Sustained-tone instruments: voice, harmonium, bansuri, violin and cello. The pitch detection works through your device microphone. Practise in a quiet room for best results.
Is RagaGuru a replacement for a teacher?
No. RagaGuru is a practice companion, not a replacement for a guru. It helps you practise between lessons and track your pitch accuracy. The nuance of Indian classical music — meend, gamak, andolan — can only be learned from a human teacher.
How much does RagaGuru cost?
Yaman is free — 3 lessons (aaroha, avaroha, both together), no account needed. RagaGuru Pro (£14.99/month) unlocks all 20 Yaman lessons plus the other four ragas — Bhupali, Bhairav, Desh and Purvi — each with 20 lessons, exercises, aalap, and chalan phrases.
