RiSa

Malhar Music

About this app

RiSais your personal guide to learning the bansuri — the Indian bamboo flute — from your very first sound to playing full songs.

Whether you've never held a flute before or you already play a little, RiSa takes you forward one clear step at a time. No music background needed. Just your breath, your flute, and a few minutes a day.

LEARN STEP BY STEP
A structured path that starts with making your first clean tone and builds up through sargam (Sa Re Ga Ma), note patterns, and complete melodies. You always know exactly what to practice next.

REAL-TIME FEEDBACK
Play along and get instant feedback on your tone and notes. Malhar listens as you play and tells you what's working and what to adjust — like having a teacher beside you.

FINGERING MADE SIMPLE
Clear hand-position charts for every note show you exactly which holes to cover, with open, half, and closed positions marked.

PRACTICE THAT FITS YOUR LIFE
Choose a 15 or 30 minute daily session. Build a streak, track your progress, and watch your minutes add up. Self-paced, so you practice when it suits you.

CHECK YOUR LEVEL
A quick skill check places you at the right starting point, and you can retake it anytime as you improve.
