Fundamentals of the instrument along with basic exercises like Chandams and ragas are taught to students in the beginning. Students will further learn the proper posture, positioning, and handling of instruments to ensure every note is played clearly. Following this, Sargams and tuning will be covered once the students are comfortable with the instrument. Students will also be taught how to tune the instrument which requires them to have a keen ear for music. Teachers will further guide them through detailing Sur and Tala.

Understanding the construction and purpose of each element of the instrument is critical in order to play the instrument. Since there aren’t many learning resources available to play the instrument, you’ll most likely need a teacher to guide you through the process of learning Santoor. Handling of the instrument and basic Sargams are usually taught to the students initially. Having a positive mindset towards the history of the instrument helps in appreciating and thereby learning the instrument faster.

Santoor originated from Persia.
Ideally, a beginner should start with half an hour to 45 minutes of regular practice. As you level up to the advanced levels, the duration of the practice sessions will increase.
