Begin at the beginning. Do listen to all kinds of music. Tansen. Begum Akhtar, Frank Sinatra. Kumar Gandharava. Bob Dylan. Miles Davis. Karsh Kale. RD Burman. AR Rahman. Michael Jackson. Balgandharva. Listen to Jazz. Listen to Hindustani classical. Listen to Pop. Listen to Rap. Listen to Podcast. Be it any kind of raga, sur or beat, or chords. Listen attentively. Pick one song. Listen to it over and over again. Find a Guru. Listen to what the Guru says. For days, months, years, and decades. Narrow down to one alaap. Listen endlessly. Now step out. Listen to birds chirping. Listen to the leaves fluttering due to the raindrops. Listen Shadja at the shore.
As Kumar Gandharava says, listen to the space between the two notes. There is a secret.
Now, you are ready. Listen to anything again. All types of octaves and taal.
