Behind the Music: Rehearsals, Tutorials & Community
Peek into our world. We believe music is about connection, not perfection, and these moments—from vocal warm-ups to band rehearsals—show exactly how we keep the joy in the rhythm.
For all the budding singers out there, here is a super useful vocal warmup. We demonstrate a sargam exercise that can really help open up your voice before you sing.
Let's talk about Raag Malhar. In this video, we share a fun fact about the different variants of this monsoon raga and sing a popular Bollywood song based on it.
What happens when music teachers play Antakshari? A whole lot of fun and melody. Watch our teachers keep the music going, one song at a time, for World Music Day.
A glimpse into our rehearsal process. Here we are with our mother, who is also a singer, preparing for a show with our talented band.
Our chief guest, Neeraj Shridhar, addressing the audience at our fundraiser. The setup shows the professional yet intimate atmosphere we create for our events.
In part two of our 'Guess the Raga' series, we share a childhood memory connected to Raag Malhar and demonstrate its core musical notes, or *swars*.
We love making music education fun. In this video, we kick off a 'Guess the Raga' series, giving you hints to identify a famous raga from the Kafi Thaat.
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who was part of our 2023 and who made it such a huge success!! We look forward to the next! Here we come 2024!!
About Behind the Music: Fun, Rehearsals & Learning
We don’t believe in closed doors. When you see us rehearsing for a show or breaking down a complex raaga for a quick tutorial, that’s exactly what our classes feel like—no pressure, just a shared love for the sur. Whether it’s an impromptu Antakshari game with our teachers or a simple vocal warm-up to help you find your range, we treat every session as a chance to connect rather than perform. If you are looking for a musical home that feels like a conversation, you have found it.
Music is often seen as a rigid discipline, but at The Sound Space, we treat it like a long-term friendship. That is why we invite you to peek behind the curtains. Our rehearsals are not just about polishing a performance; they are about finding comfort in the rhythm. We share these moments—from our quick 'Guess the Raga' challenges to full-band preparations—because we want to strip away the intimidation factor.
When you join us, you are not signing up for a lecture. You are stepping into a space where we deconstruct difficult concepts like Raag Malhar or Kafi Thaat into stories and memories. Our teachers play Antakshari not just for fun, but to show that musical knowledge should flow naturally. If you are a bathroom singer or someone who has not touched an instrument in years, know that this is a space where your voice matters—unpolished and all. We have built this community, from our adult collectives to our mobile bus outreach, with the belief that anyone can find their sur. If you liked what you saw in these clips, come say hi. We would love to help you find your own rhythm.
The Sound Space
We are Kamakshi and Vishala, and we started The Sound Space because music should not be about perfection—it should be about finding a piece of yourself. We are just two sisters who believe that whether you are a pro or a shower singer, your heartbeat is the only instrument you really need to start with.
