The research activities (explorations, experiments, comparative study pilot project analyses) of SVARAM focus on 3 areas:

1. Original sound material and world instruments

The ancient Indian classification of instruments according to their form and function (Susira, ghana, thatha, avanaddha - hollow, stringed and covered) eir format .(hollow,solid ,stringed and covered) sets us out on a search for the archetypes and elements of universally found instruments and a global music culture.

2. Music pedagogy for an lntegral Education

On a request and through the initiative of a national scheme and with the support of international sponsorship we started in 2003 a research project on 'Instrument for a New Music Pedagogy "(click for the research article) from RITAM research magazine.


3. Sound and consciousness studies

The role of sound and music in education, personal growth, healing and transformation and harmony of the society , recognized in all the bright classical cultures is rediscovered in this tremendous evolutionary crisis of our present times, and SVARAM is contributing to this vast field through contemplative studies, articles, lectures, classes, workshops and seminars.
