Kairali Arts vs Dha

Music tools, made beautiful. Kairali Arts Centre is a small, careful collection of music tools — for musicians, students, teachers, and anyone who hums a tune. No clutter, no ads, no tracking. Just thoughtfully designed instruments that feel as good as they sound. Sheet Music Compose right on a grand staff. Drag whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes into place, add sharps, choose your instrument and time signature, then press play to hear it. Share your finished piece as a video. Tanpura A warm, resonant digital drone for pitch reference, with spatial 3D audio. Set your Sa to any root note, tune each string, and adjust the tempo to create the perfect backdrop for practice or performance. Metronome Keep perfect time with a spatial-audio metronome built for real practice. Choose from time signatures spanning 2/4 to 7/8, pick a tone — Click, Beep, Wood, HiHat or Deep — set accents, tap your tempo, and follow along with visual beat tracking. Tempo Detector Find the BPM of any rhythm in seconds. Tap along to the beat or let the microphone listen, and instantly see tempo, beat interval, confidence and the detected time signature. Pitch Trainer Train your ear and find any note. Detect pitch in real time, see how far you are from in-tune in cents, and switch into trainer mode to build accuracy — all processed privately, on device. Why you'll love it • Free to use — every tool, no paywall • No ads and no tracking, ever • Clean, modern design that gets out of your way • On-device processing for privacy and speed • Built for both Indian classical and Western music — Sa, Shruti and swaralipi alongside staves, clefs and standard notation Whether you're learning your first raga, practising scales, composing a melody or just checking if you're in tune, these are tools you'll reach for every day.

Build a little riyaz into your day. Pick a taal, set your tempo and Sa, and practise with tabla, tanpura and lehra that return to sam every cycle. Dha brings together 28 accompaniment cycles and 41 guided tabla lessons on iPhone and iPad, plus a taal keeper on Apple Watch. Start free with five Foundations lessons, a playable dayan and bayan, sam, tali and khali markers, tanpura, lehra and a taal-aware metronome. PRACTISE WITH ACCOMPANIMENT • 28 bundled taal cycles, including Teental, Keharwa, Dadra, Jhaptaal, Rupak and Ektaal, with sam, tali and khali shown on a taal clock. • Set tempo and Sa, tap the tempo in, and mix tabla, tanpura and lehra. • A metronome that knows the taal: a click on every matra, strongest on sam and softest on khali. Turn the theka off for a click-only or lehra-only loop. • The lehra (nagma) is a simple synthesized loop through a chosen scale that keeps the cycle; it is not a raga performance. • Roman or Devanagari bol notation, an AUv3 instrument and MIDI input. MEET YOUR TABLA Explore the pair, dayan and bayan in an original visual guide with synthesized reference sounds, then open the related Foundations lesson. Physical stroke technique still needs practice on real tabla with a teacher's guidance. A GUIDED PATH 41 structured lessons in eight modules cover thekas, kaydas, relas, layakari, tihais and accompaniment. Each lesson gives a practice target, common errors to listen for, and a teacher or self-review checkpoint. Dha returns you to your saved lesson and tempo. UNDERSTAND THE TIMING Optional microphone checks estimate pulse, relative spacing, tempo consistency and return to sam. The estimates are experimental and may be wrong; quiet, clipped or uncertain takes are left ungraded. Dha does not recognize correct bols or verify physical technique. FREE, THEN LIFETIME Accompaniment, the metronome, tanpura, lehra, the five Foundations lessons, AUv3, MIDI and your practice history are free. Dha Pro adds the full 41-lesson course, unlimited experimental timing checks, private on-device Coach drills and the pattern composer. Dha Pro is sold as a one-time Lifetime purchase: pay once, no renewal, restorable, and available to Family Sharing. Where the app still lists monthly or yearly plans, they renew automatically until cancelled; manage them in Settings > Renewal & cancellation. Buying Lifetime does not cancel a subscription for you. No account is needed. Practice audio and coaching stay on your device. Dha is a Playsoloist app and a companion to your tabla practice. A real teacher still matters.
