By Saloni Mathur
Your voice is the oldest instrument you own. From sur and shruti to confident, open-throat singing, this sadhana of swara turns daily riyaaz into both music and meditation.
The story of this chapter
Almost everyone has a story about their voice. A teacher who said “just mouth the words.” A stage where the throat closed. A song loved privately, sung only when no one is home. Slowly, the most natural instrument we own falls silent.
This course exists to reverse that story. Built as a step-by-step swara sadhana — a devoted, daily practice of the note — it rebuilds your voice from the breath up: first the ear, then the sur, then the throat, then the song, and finally the courage to be heard.
Curriculum
Training pitch perception — hearing the note truly before producing it — with simple daily exercises against the tanpura.
How singers breathe; opening the throat, releasing jaw and tongue tension, and finding your natural placement and range.
Alankars, paltas and a personal daily practice structure that builds steadily — fifteen focused minutes that outperform an unfocused hour.
Applying your sadhana to real songs — bhajans, film melodies or your own choice — phrasing, expression and emotional truth.
Performing for others: managing nerves, using a microphone, and carrying a song from the first note to the last with presence.
About your mentor
Saloni Mathur teaches voice as a daily sadhana — patient, structured and joyful. Her approach treats every voice as trainable: not by forcing it to imitate someone else, but by freeing what is already there.
