This work provides insights into the theoretical foundations of Indian classical music for musicians and researchers, but it is incremental as part of a series.
The article examines the basic structure of scales in Indian classical music and explains how different ragas are generated through scale shifting, building on previous discussions about musical scales.
In the previous articles of this series, we have discussed the development of musical scales particularly that of the heptatonic scale which forms the basis of Western classical music today. In this last article, we take a look at the basic structure of scales used in Indian classical music and how different `raga's are generated through the simple process of scale shifting.
