- Hindustani singing is a north Indian style which varies greatly to singing in western classical music.
- In hindustani singing performers use ‘taan’, a rapid dip in pitch, voluntarily while classical singers use vibrato to vary pitch involuntarily.
- Classical singers enhance frequency by lowering their larynx and widening the vocal tract.
- Hindustani singers do not do this, meaning they sing more quietly and their singing voice is similar to their speaking voice.
- Hindustani singing requires precise pronunciation of lyrics while notes provide pronunciation in classical music.
