Discover a new way to approach the piano by bringing together the technique of Western piano playing with the melodic and rhythmic traditions of Indian classical music.
Piano Raga Technique is a progressive practice method designed for pianists who want to explore ragas, Indian rhythms, ornamentation, improvisation, and two-hand coordination while continuing to develop strong piano technique.
With 250 carefully structured exercises, this book takes you from fundamental patterns to more advanced musical applications. The exercises are designed to help you develop finger control, coordination, rhythmic accuracy, melodic fluency, and the ability to express Indian classical concepts on the piano.
Inside, you will explore:
• Progressive scales and melodic patterns
• Raga-based exercises for the piano
• Major and minor tonal approaches
• Indian classical concepts adapted for keyboard
• Tala and rhythmic practice patterns
• Ornamentation techniques including meend, gamak, murki, and related movements
• Two-hand coordination exercises
• Melodic development and improvisation
• Progressive technical studies for daily practice
• Exercises designed to connect technique with musical expression
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate pianist, advanced player, music teacher, or musician interested in Indian classical music, this book provides a practical pathway for incorporating raga-based ideas into piano practice.
Rather than treating Western piano technique and Indian classical music as separate worlds, Piano Raga Technique explores the possibilities that emerge when the two musical traditions meet.
Practice the technique. Understand the raga. Develop your musical voice.
