GETTING STARTED:-

Let’s start with Indian music. Its’ all started way back to probably two thousand years ago when SamaVeda was written in Vedic periods. The term “samaveda” comes from the Sanskrit words that was ‘saman’( means  melody) and ‘Veda’(means knowledge). From there we can understand that the basic elements of music is ‘raga’. (Now the question is what is ‘raga’ ? well in that case I can say  those who have some knowledge about music they knows the term very well but those who don’t just check Google. I really don’t want to spoil the whole thing by giving the explanation on ‘Raga’) .the earliest raga that  speculate was ‘sama raga’.from the ‘samaveda’ we came to know that how the primitive sound ‘OM’ gave rise to the various notes.

Panini(500BC), Rikpratisakhya(400BC),Bharat’s Natya Shastra (4^th century AD), these are the books from where we get the first reference of music and the explanation on the octave (perfect octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its frequency.) and it divided into 22 keys.
