In this lesson, we will learn how to sing this popular Hindi song 'Chookar mere man ko'. This is our first Bollywood song singing lesson. This song is originally sung by the legendary Kishore Kumar. We will learn this song in scale C#, which is suitable for males. We will upload a separate lesson for the female scale soon. Meanwhile, ladies can learn the notes from this video and then practice in your own scale. The video lesson also contains notations with lyrics, so should be easier to follow and practice for beginners. Notations are written in this description as well. You can also play these notations on a harmonium, piano, or a keyboard.

This song is based mostly on shuddha swar (natural notes) except komal Ni (N) is used at some places. If you do not know about shuddha swar or komal swar, do watch this lesson Introduction to 12 swar/notes. This song is beginner-friendly with few high notes.
