I think I found a starting point here, wish I could go back 10 years in life and start learning. But I think to start anything, we need the right mindset and time. Need to wake up by 6 and then learn with this video..
@shushanto: Sa is the starting point. From thereon, others are get 'fixed' based on the Sa, following a ratio.
The confusion on comparison with Western music is that (I never heard anybody explaining it like it, but it is true) Indian system follows intervals, even though they call it 'notes' to begin with. So, sa, re,ga.. etc are intervals rather than notes in western music, per se.
@psoni6 What do you mean by that? I am completely new to music and I find that concept confusing. If Sa is one of the notes in the scale, then why do you say a frequency is not fixed? Is it not the same for all the swaras in the sargam?
@psoni6 Sa is like C note in western. any key could be chosen as Sa (called reference note) and then other notes go according per drone. its important because its still reference note.
@psoni6 I think 'Sa' is like the A in western music, it is the cue point on what you build your raga, but it is flexible, unlike our diapason 440hz that doesn't move.
