Amid Lockdown, music lovers can continue to learn classical music with Music learning app Riyaz
Though much of the life’s activities has been put on hold by the current lockdown, RIYAZ app is encouraging music lovers to use this time to learn classical music and hone singing skills.
Riyaz, available both on Google Playstore as well as Apple’s App Store, enables people to learn classical and popular music in its entirety anywhere, anytime. Riyaz provides instantaneous feedback for learners to practice singing to perfection and has eliminated challenges of stepping outside the home to seek feedback.
Riyaz comes packed with well-curated courses and hundreds of practice lessons that serve both beginners and advanced learners in Hindustani and Carnatic classical music traditions, along. The app is also packed with necessary tools for singing such as Smart Tanpura, Breath monitor and Vocal monitor. Social features such as song feed and leaderboards make learning to sing fun and engaging.
“At Riyaz, we believe that quality music education must be accessible and affordable to every aspirant out there in the world.” Gopala says. He founded Riyaz with Prof. Xavier Serra who heads Music Technology Group in Barcelona, Spain. “Many of us have been bathroom singers and shied away from formal learning owing to challenges associated in learning music. Riyaz has eliminated those. A million plus learners on our android offering is a resounding testament to this!” says Gopala, a PhD holder in Music Technology.
The content on every music style on Riyaz is deep and allows music lovers to stay engaged on learning for a long time without any interference on feedback, correction and guidance as the app’s modules are laid out in a step-by-step instructional mode that makes it easy for users to learn music.
“Music learners have expressed immense interest to continue learning classical music on Riyaz during this lockdown. “We believe that music connects us all, and we are proud to share this philosophy with students and anyone who wants to learn singing and provide support to them at this difficult time of lockdown.” says Anil Kumar Alaham, Co-founder and head of marketing and partnerships at Riyaz.
With beautifully visualised screens and a highly resourceful feedback system on Riyaz, becoming a professional singer or even honing the skill as a hobby singer, is a boon for people especially during the lockdown.

Rain wreaks havoc in Bengaluru, kills 10
Bengaluru (PTI):The rains in Bengaluru on Wednesday evening wreaked havoc, killing 10 people, authorities said.
Heavy rains coupled with a hailstorm and gusty winds uprooted trees, flooded many key stretches and threw traffic out of gear, they said on Thursday.
Large parts of the city witnessed sudden, intense rainfall for nearly an hour, bringing down trees and electric poles, crushing parked vehicles and inundating low-lying areas, while several roads were rendered impassable, severely disrupting vehicular movement during peak hours.
Seven people, including a six-year-old girl, were killed when a compound wall of the Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital collapsed amid the downpour.
Among the deceased, two were from Kerala who were on a study tour. They had taken shelter near the wall when it gave way, they said.

In another incident, a 35-year-old man, identified as Raghu, died of electrocution on Bannerghatta Road near Vega City Mall.
In a separate case in Yarab Nagar, a student, Syed Sufiyan died after coming into contact with a live electric wire while attempting to park his motorcycle during the rain, police said.
One more fatality was reported from Chamarajapet, where Manjunath died on the spot after a cement block fell and pierced through the roof of a house during the storm.
The sudden spell of rain left a trail of destruction across the city.
“So far, 10 people have died due to rain-related incidents in Bengaluru,” police said, attributing the deaths to wall collapse, electrocution and structural damage triggered by the storm.
Civic authorities said at least 87 trees were uprooted and 131 branches snapped across the city, disrupting daily life.
Of these, 60 trees and 98 branches had been cleared, while restoration work was ongoing.
Several cars and two-wheelers parked along roadsides were crushed under fallen trees.
Key junctions and underpasses were waterlogged, with the KR Circle underpass completely submerged, forcing police to barricade the stretch due to lack of drainage.
Fallen branches and stalled vehicles further worsened traffic congestion, leaving commuters stranded for hours.
Officials said buildings suffered partial damage in several areas, while the sudden and unanticipated nature of the storm caught many residents off guard. Authorities have issued a rain alert for the next three days.
