Sing it back, in sur. Sangat is daily riyaz for Hindustani singing. The harmonium plays each line in your scale, with the tabla and tanpura, and waits while you sing it back. Turn on Listen, and Sangat shows which notes were off. SING IT BACK TO THE HARMONIUM The harmonium plays a line of sargam and holds its last note until sam. Then it's your turn. Repeat keeps it coming round. You can also sing along, or sing on your own to the tanpura. SITAR, BANSURI, VIOLIN OR A SINGER Switch one on, and it plays each line with the harmonium or in its place. Free for 90 seconds of riyaz a day each. SEE WHICH NOTES WERE OFF Listen draws your voice under the notes as you sing. The line is green while you're in sur, and amber where you go low or high. After each line it names what slipped, like "Ma low". Practise these then plays that part until you sing it in sur twice. RIYAZ ROUTINES Follow a riyaz one part at a time: a morning riyaz, kharaj, Yaman in the evening, alankars, or five minutes for a busy day. FIRST STEPS IN SUR AND KNOW YOUR SWARAS A course for beginners, from holding Sa to singing Bhupali, Yaman and Bhairav. Then hear any swara, name it by ear, or sing it from its name while Sangat listens.

Not sure of your Sa? Sing any comfortable note, and Find my Sa sets it. Then play your take back on a harmonium: your notes, your pauses, your pacing. • Tanpura: 18 tunings and 3 plucking styles, or on its own as a drone • 60 taals — Teentaal, Ektaal, Jhaptaal, Rupak, Keherwa, Dadra, Deepchandi, Jhoomra and more, 10 to 720 BPM. Tap the beat, and the tabla takes your speed. All four are recordings of real instruments, each with a synthesised voice a tap away, and they keep playing when the screen locks. RADIO Ragas played for you, for the hour or your mood. YOUR RIYAZ, KEPT Hear your riyaz back line by line, each note marked, and count your riyaz days in a row.
