Saptak Bridge: Printed Reference Cards + Live Masterclass Subscription

A laminated, pocket-sized reference card set (6 cards covering raag families, saptak-to-Western note mappings, microtone approximations, and fingering cross-references) sold as a starter pack, paired with a monthly live masterclass subscription where a credentialed Indian classical musician and a Western music theorist co-teach 2 sessions/month on specific raag-to-scale bridges. Musicians keep the cards in their instrument case; they subscribe for ongoing clarification and community.

Value Proposition

Live masterclasses create accountability and peer learning that static guides don't. Cards are always accessible (no app needed); subscription funds ongoing updates as musicians ask real questions.

Intermediate Indian classical musicians (sitar, sarangi, vocal) actively learning Western theory; Western musicians exploring Indian classical; music teachers bridging both traditions

Key Features

  • Laminated 6-card set: saptak-note equivalencies, raag-scale mappings, microtone cent values, bending/gamak notation, fingering cross-reference (sitar/sarangi/vocal), frequency chart
  • Monthly live 90-min masterclass (recorded for archive) with Q&A, taught by active Indian classical musician + Western music theory expert

Original Problem

Musicians struggle to translate between Indian Classical and Western musical systems without reliable reference guides

Musicians learning Indian classical music or attempting to bridge Indian and Western musical traditions lack clear, authoritative resources for understanding saptak equivalencies with Western notes. Current solutions are fragmented across forums and lack standardized explanations, forcing musicians to piece together information from multiple unreliable sources or rely on trial-and-error learning that wastes practice time.
