    DIVISION BETWEEN
    SOUTH & NORTH INDIA
    The geographical division of the
    north and the South are
    determined by the states north and
    south of the Vindhyas, which is one
    of the most important determining
    factors for the South and North
    regions.
    WESTERN VS. INDIAN MUSIC
    In terms of melody and harmony, Indian
    music differs greatly from Western music. Two
    fundamental elements of the Indian classical
    music scene are the raga and the tala.
    WESTERN VS. INDIAN MUSIC
    The Indian scale of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dh Ni’
    matches the western ‘Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti’.
    A raga scale can start on any pitch, the tonic
    coarsely parallels C in Western scales.
    WESTERN VS. INDIAN MUSIC
    Western music uses just minor and major scales
    and equal temperament notes. Indian classical
    music uses a much more complicated system of
    scales that is a mix of parent scales and that of
    descendant families, which sound very varied
    from each other.
    RAGAS TALAS
    frameworks of
    keynotes
    a set of musical notes rhythmic cycles used in
    put together in a Indian classical music
    singing pattern used to create a sense
    each raga has a of structure, repetition
    distinct melodic and form in the music
    structure and is
    associated with a
    particular time of day,
    season, or mood
    TYPES OF RAGAS
    These primary divisions of Ragas are:
    Raag Asaravi Raag Kalyan
    Raag Bhairav Raag Khamaj
    Raag Bhairavi Raag Marwa
    Raag Bilawal Raag Purvi
    Raag Kafi Raag Todi
    When arranged in ascending order of their
    notes, the Ragas are in an aroh pattern.
    When the notes are arranged in a
    descending fashion, they are in an avaroh
    pattern.

    HINDUSTANI VS. CARNATIC MUSIC
    MICROTONES
    In Western music, we depend on the 12-tone
    scale. But here in Indian music, we also use
    microtones.
    Microtones are tones that fall between the
    standard twelve-note chromatic scale.
    They are used to create a more subtle and
    nuanced sound.
    Important in making ragas (melodies) and talas
    (rhythmic cycles) more expressive.
