She makes everything so easy and simple to understand. Commendable. I don't where she had dissappeared for sometime in between. I really look forward to her videos eagerly. God bless her. And I missed her Om Shanti in this nice clip😊
Hey I am just so glad to see you back on the channel producing content that I love. much love.keep creating. I want to hear your views on the "exceptions to the rule" approach in Raag definitions. it makes the learning a bit complicated especially if the student is logical and looks for firn boundaries and structure in the musical grammar.
I have been learning raags for 1 year on flute. Sometimes I also thought there might be some similarities between drawing and creating music. You give a base to that thinking of mine. Thank you again didi for your nice explanation. 🤍
Brilliant. Beautiful. Bright start to this morning. Thanks for your videos. It helps a lot to understand music. Can we say music that is closer to God is more unstructured, very difficult to explain? Raag is a template, which is semi structured, operates like a bridge between God and humans. Songs are more structured and rigid, Songs can be created using Raag. Your painting analogy is awesome to understand music. Thanks again.
God doesn't exist, it's a creation of human beings from a time when the knowledge of the world and the laws governing how natural processes take place wasn't as developed and as widespread as they are today. Music is something very human, on the other hand, as prehistoric human beings did create musical instruments and played music - even if that music eas relatively primitive by our standards. Please don't disrespect music by associating it with any kind of non-existent divinity.
@@rajac2053 silence doesn't mean the absence of sound, it means that there's no sound, but the absence of sound doesn't mean that sound doesn't exist. Seriously, get the hell out of here with your idealistic and metaphysical nonsense
@@anushghosh4606 how can you differentiate Between Noise and Music? Both are sounds. There is some consciousness in you ( and all of us ) which makes this happen and the same is the source of all the life activities and happenings going on around us. Hope u understand.
A intelligently put fwd the importance of learning raags and consequently singing and in doing so o crossing the bridge from raag to song like imaginary to portrait drawings . U are too good in explaining music in simple language.
I like your analogy. I can say from experience that it is relatively easy to draw from a reference (Portrait/Scene) than from imagination but drawing from a reference teaches you enough fundamentals to be able to draw from imagination. Analyzing a song as a part of learning has greatly helped me improve my musicality over the months. Most songs in the past 30-40 years seem to have been composed based off of Western Scales rather than Raag. It has been very difficult to understand Raag, as the concept seems to be so fluid and every teacher seems to have their own interpretation and explanation for it. I hope it all makes sense one day.
A beautiful illustration of the art of drawing and the art of music. Quite an impressive and spirited presentation of the similarities and differences between them.
Just like I tried to explain my friends that I may be an Electrical Engineer but I cannot know everything about all the Different Industries an Electrical Engineer works in. They just thought and still think that I know nothing about Electrical Engineering. I quit Engineering this year (2024), after 10 years, because there's no science in it, only management and I am a bad manager. I am doing/studying/trying music now but myself, at the age of 34😅. I have had a terrible experience with Gurus all my life. I am sure Anuja is a better guru for me than anyone I would like to confront. I started learning about Indian Classical with a video by Anuja, suggested by Adam Neely, many years ago.
I think that the comparisons between drawing and training in the realm of Indian classical music are pretty accurate, because both of them clearly show the restrictive aspects in the pedagogical aspects of both forms of art. Both sacrifice the creativity and initiative of the artist in the name of refining and honing in of one's skills, whereas everyone knows that an artist's creativity and initiative can't be restricted in any shape or form under any circumstances. It's possible to give precedence and primary importance to one's creativity and artistic initiative without sacrificing the necessity of refining and developing one's skills and techniques, but unfortunately, the pedagogical approaches to the training of a visual artist and of an Indian classical musician begin from the position of underestimating and devaluing the creativity and endeavour of the artist. Whereas I'm yet to investigate how these restrictive pedagogical practices in relation to training a visual artist came into being, I'm certain that the restrictive aspects in the training of an Indian classical musician can be found in the function of Indian classical music as the vehicle through which feudal and Bramhinical culture could be propagated in the realm of cultural expression, which necessarily makes Indian classical music highly restrictive and initiative and with no space for creative improvisation or bending of the rules in order to give precedence to the musician's creative capabilities.
A very interesting thought to see the parallel...very useful to understand the beginnings of learning. I wonder on the approach as to what imprint, if any, should one focus on..perhaps the proportion, the boundaries for one to be compliant to the rules of the raag, the colours (emotions..bhaav) interesting thread you have started in my head 🙂
Very insightful. I love your channel. I think you are saying that a song has a structure to it and Raag is more like an improvisation using a given mode or scale. I like your analogy to drawing. I also appreciate what you said about some artists are better at one type than the other and that we shouldn't expect all artists to be excellent at both.
My grand daughter Ciya is just 10 years old, She is good in drawings painting & Music too! For last two to three years she is learning शास्रिय संगीत Your present link is very useful to her!
The beautiful interweaving of drawing and music used in this video somehow reminded me of the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter. It delves into certain complex ideas while illustrating how these themes interweave in mathematics, art, and music.
Wonderful comparison. But humming a small piece of music is always exxpected from you. It soothes our mind.
I agree. She has a lovely voice.
Ha ha... U said what was on my mind too. I needed some excuse to hear Anuja's voice. Cheers
She makes everything so easy and simple to understand. Commendable. I don't where she had dissappeared for sometime in between. I really look forward to her videos eagerly. God bless her. And I missed her Om Shanti in this nice clip😊
You are a great teacher 😊

You are so expressive.
Only
I want to write
" God blessed you
for special task"
God bless you
Move forward
👍
Only a few video from such a great artist and teacher....
Glad 2 c u back🙏🏻👍😊

Where there is Silence, there is no music. Does that mean Music doesn't exist? It's all in the mind, I guess.
@@rajac2053 silence doesn't mean the absence of sound, it means that there's no sound, but the absence of sound doesn't mean that sound doesn't exist. Seriously, get the hell out of here with your idealistic and metaphysical nonsense
Did you say 'Hell'? So you believe 'Hell' exist? But God doesn't exist?
@@anushghosh4606 how can you differentiate Between Noise and Music? Both are sounds.
There is some consciousness in you ( and all of us ) which makes this happen and the same is the source of all the life activities and happenings going on around us.
Hope u understand.

U are too good in explaining music in simple language.
If kindness isn’t shown in the end, to family and other souls in pain;
to neighbour, teacher, and friend, of what use is this life, what gain?
.
Can we expect a video where you would explain how to translate a song into swaras?
Also, when Anuja introduced us to Tanuja, she really got me.🙏
A difficult concept beautifully explained.
Wow !! Great comparison..
This explanation was out of this world !! You are an excellent teacher !! God bless you always !!
Wow what a teaching talent you have.❤
Seeing your post after a long time. Good to see you back. Always enjoyed your posts.
Glad to see you back ❤
Great analogy! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They really gave me a refreshing perspective.

Beautifully explained. And equally, the skills from learning raags/memory drawing feed back into songs/the other kinds of drawing, and vice versa!
अगं अनुजा ताई असेच व्हिडिओ करत जा ना मध्ये मध्ये सारखे आम्हाला तुला पाहायला, ऐकायला खूप आवडतं आणि तुझी विषयाची मांडणी ही खूप आवडते!❤

Nice to see you after a long long time.
❤❤❤ to see you return all of a sudden! ❤❤❤

According to me, more than it being about scales and modes, Raags have a framework of phrases!
Nice way of explaining! You make it so simple!
Thanks! Been watching for years. So proud of you. Keep it up. ❤🙏🏾🥹
Thank you! 🌷
Anuja mam i can't create my own taana when I sing. Please make some video for it. It's like how you said in the beginning I byheart and sing
Also i appreciate your haircut style. Have you ever colored your hair? I bet the video would go viral. :-) try blue.
My grand daughter Ciya is just 10 years old,
She is good in drawings painting & Music too!
For last two to three years she is learning शास्रिय संगीत
Your present link is very useful to her!
Where have you been Anuja? Your voice is like meditation.
I am n your channel since many year may be before corona lock down !
very good imressive in simple language you explain
