Foreword

Dr Rajneesh Kumar Gupta has struggled enough to cement his feet in the field of

music of his own. From there he got the inspiration and motivation to open his

own musical group under the name of "Aaroh Musical Group”, so that he can make

the music available at ease to the struggling music aspirers. He aspires to pass on

this priceless treasure of rich art traditions to the next generation in this book

“Music -The Diet Of Soul”.

With growing interest in North Indian classical music, both in India and

abroad, and in spite of several books on specific topics which have appeared in

recent times, there was a need for a comprehensive reference book in English

which could give adequate and precise information on various aspects of North

Indian or Hindustani classical music at one place. For general readers, students,

and practicing musicians, the author has served to fill this gap.

Author has written in a simple and easy-to-comprehend style.



ix

Introduction of Instruments

Learning to read music is like learning a second language. There are no shortcuts

- you simply have to slowly familiarise yourself with the grammar and appearance

of written music. So, before you begin playing, here's an easy introduction to the

instruments.

GUITAR :-

How to Play Guitar Chords

In order to play your favourite song, you’ll need to learn guitar chords. Use the images and instructions below to learn how to play each chord. The ChordBuddy device can be used for assistance in knowing where to place your fingers In the images the circles represent where you will be placing your fingers (I=index, M=middle finger, R=ring finger, P=pinky). The X’s represent strings that you will not be strumming while the O represents strings that will be played without any frets.



xii

How to play the D chord ?

Place your index finger on the third string at the

second fret, your middle finger on the first string at the

second fret, and your ring finger on the second string at

the third fret.

1. Leave the fourth string open. 2. Strum the bottom four strings. 3. Pay attention to the sound. That’s the D-chord!

How to play the C chord ?

Place your index finger on the second string at the first

fret, your middle finger on the fourth string at the second

fret, and your ring finger on the fifth string at the third

fret.

1. Leave the first and second strings open. 2. Strum the bottom five strings and you’ll hear the C Chord!

How to play the G chord ?

1. Place your middle finger on the fifth string at the second fret, your ring finger on the sixth string at the third fret, and your pinky finger on the first string at the third fret.

2. Leave strings two, three, and four open. 3. Strum all strings. That’s the G Chord!

How to play the e-minor chord

1. Place your middle finger on the fifth string at the second fret and your ring finger on the fourth string at the second fret.

2. Leave strings one, two, three, and six open. 3. Strum all strings. That’s the E-minor Chord!

There you have it! Practice these chords and you’re well on your way to playing the guitar.

VIOLIN :-

The basics of playing the violin.

1. How to prepare to play

2. How to read violin music

3. How to hold the violin and bow

4. How to put all of this information together to play "Hot Crossed Buns"

Step 1: What You Need

A violin :- (A decent violin usually costs upwards of $800, so I recommend finding a friend or teacher with a violin that you can borrow, or renting one from a local music store.) A bow :- (The bow does not always come with the violin, and can also cost hundreds of dollars. Hopefully, if you are borrowing or renting a violin, a bow will be part of the deal. If not, inquire.) A shoulder rest :- (This is used to hold the violin between your neck and shoulder. Since a violin is not shaped to fit this part of your body, this helps violinists be able to play longer and have a better sound overall.)



xiv

Rosin :- (This is a sticky resin obtained from various trees and plants that helps the bow make sound when it comes in contact with a violin string.) Music :- (For this instructable, see slide five for the music. Otherwise any local or online music store, or music teacher can help you find music for beginners.) A music stand :- (You need something to put your music on! Most music stores carry stands that are fairly inexpensive. If you are unable to find a stand, I suggest using other household items placed on a table or shelf to prop your music up.)

Step 2: Getting Ready to Play

Setting up your violin: 1. Take the violin and bow out of the case. (not shown) 2. Put the shoulder rest on the back of the violin. If you are using a sponge, use rubber bands to secure it. (shown in the first picture) 3. Tighten the bow. Use the screw on the end of the bow, tighten the hairs of the bow. The hairs should be about the width of you pinky finger away from the wood of the bow. (not shown, but the picture from step one can be a guideline) 4. Rosin the bow. Rub the rosin up and down along the bow hairs. This should take you about ten seconds unless you have a new bow. In that case it will take you about a minute. (shown in second picture)

Step 3: Learn to Read Music

Most violin music is written in the treble clef (see image of the clef). That symbol will appear at the beginning of a set of lines, called a staff . The staff is a set of five lines and four spaces. Those lines and spaces each correspond to notes. In music



xv

notes are named with the letters A through G. The lines and spaces are named as so: F-------------------------------------------------------

E D-------------------------------------------------------

C B-------------------------------------------------------

A G-------------------------------------------------------

F E------------------------------------------------------- A good way to remember the order of the lines and spaces is from the bottom up. Lines correspond to the acronym "E very G ood B oy D oes F ine" and the spaces from bottom to top form the word FACE . After you know the names of the notes, you have to know how to count them. A piece of music is divided into measures. These measures have a certain number of beats in a measure, most commonly four. The numbers at the beginning of a line indicate the time signature, which lets the musician know how many beats are in a measure, and how to count each beat. Since "Hot Crossed Buns" has four beats in a measure, I will only discuss this particular time signature. "Hot Crossed Buns" is in what is called "four four time". (see image) This means that there are four beats in a measure and a quarter note gets one beat. What is a quarter note? A quarter note represents one quarter of the measure, or one beat. Similarly, half notes last two beats, or half of a measure. I bet you can guess that whole notes last the entire measure, and eighth notes last half as long as a quarter note, or an eighth of a measure. Rests are also measured in the same intervals, only they look different from the notes. You'll notice the difference noted in the image. Also important to note is that the strings on the violin correspond to notes. The one closest to the left when looking at the violin is a G, then left to right is C, A and E. That order is also lowest pitch to highest.

Step 4: Put It All Together!

1. Set up your stand and music. 2. Place the violin on your shoulder, holding it mostly with your chin and shoulder.



xvi

3. Hold the bow by placing your thumb on it's tip between the wood and hairs of the bow, and curling your fingers around the wood of the bow as shown in the image. 4. Drag the bow across the strings to create sound. At the same time, put the fingers on your left hand down on the strings to change the notes. SITAR :-

Sitar is an improved form of Veena, the old and prominent instrument. .

The Sitar of today contains Single Tumba, having seven strings on top only

including Chikaries. This type of Sitar is more useful for beginners.

Tuning of Sitar By Using Frets :-

Jora (string No. 2 and 3) - first of all stretch the string No. 2 up to such a point that

it should neither break nor loose Check the sound of the string with the stroke of

mizrab. It will be C (Sa) note of lower octave Adjust the string No. 3 with the sound

of string No. 2. Both these string are called Jora which means basic note for tuning

the other strings.

String No. 1: ft is tuned on F (Ma) note of lower octave according to the sound

obtained from string No 2 after striking it with mizrab and pressing it on fret No 5



xvii

String No. 4: This string is tuned on C (Sa) note of double lower octave i.e. half

the sound produced with the stroke of mizrab on Jora (string No. 2 and 3).

String No, 5: This string is tuned on G (Pa) note of lower octave according to the

sound obtained from string No 1 after striking it with mizrab and pressing it on fret

No.2

String No. 6: (Chikari No. 1) This string is tuned on C (Sa) note of medium octave

according to the sound obtained from string No. 1 after striking it with mizrab and

pressing it on fret No.7

(Chikari No. 2). This string is tuned on C (Sa) note of upper octave according to the sound obtained from string No 1 after striking it with mizrab and pressing it at fret No. 17.

FLUTE

Originally made of wood, the flute is now made from silver or gold and is about 2

feet in length. It looks like a narrow tube with a row of holes covered by keys along

one side. The player blows air across the small hole in the mouthpiece to produce

a sound. This instrument has a high, bright sound. The instrument is found in

cultures throughout the world. It is one of the oldest and most popular instruments

in the history of music. Between 1830 and 1850, Theobald Boehm developed the

modern flute and a system of fingering for producing the notes still known today

as the Boehm system.

How the sound is made ?



xviii

Sound on a woodwind instrument comes from a vibrating column of air inside the

instrument. The player makes this column of air vibrate in one of three ways: as

air is blown across the top of an instrument (like the flute), across a single reed

(like the clarinet), or across two reeds (like the oboe). A single reed is clamped to a

mouthpiece at the top of the instrument and vibrates against the mouthpiece when

air is blown between the reed and the mouthpiece. Two reeds tied together are

commonly known as a double reed. This double reed fits into a tube at the top of

the instrument and vibrates when air is forced between the two reeds.

How the pitch is changed ?

Woodwind pitch depends on the volume of air that is vibrating. A larger volume

vibrates more slowly, for lower pitch; a smaller volume vibrates more quickly, for

a higher pitch. For most woodwinds, the player changes pitch by opening and

closing holes along the instrument's length. Closing more holes makes the

instrument longer, making the notes lower.

PIANO :-

The Piano Stave :-

Piano music uses two staves joined together — the top one for the right hand,

and the bottom one for the left hand. Together they are called the grand stave.



xix

Notes are grouped into bars (measures) by barlines. At the end of a piece there is a

double barline.

KEYBOARD :-

The keyboard has groups of black and white notes, which form a repeating pattern. The black notes are grouped in twos and threes. The white notes are named after the first seven letters of the alphabet: A B C D E F and G
