Sa Re Ga Ma

Sa Re Ga Ma, also known as Sargam, refers to the basic musical notes in Indian classical music. Similar to do-re-mi in Western music, these notes are: Sa (Shadja), Re (Rishabh), Ga (Gandhar), Ma (Madhyam), Pa (Pancham), Dha (Dhaivat), and Ni (Nishad). Each note has a unique pitch and emotional quality, forming the foundation for melodies and compositions. Musicians use this system to improvise, compose, and perform, making it a crucial element in Indian music theory and practice. Understanding Sa Re Ga Ma is essential for studying and appreciating the rich traditions of Indian music.
