Yes. you will be learning about indian raga music, this is a traditional form of Indian  music that's based on melodic structures called ragas and rhythmic structures called tala.

This course is for students just starting to learn music  and does not teach the skill of reading sheet music. From our experience, our students have learned through following the teacher with the ‘follow the fingers’ on-screen technique. This coupled together with practice exercises means that learners can make  great progress and improve their memory skills along the way. 

Practice time will depend on the individual, but it's recommended to practice for at least 10 minutes a day. Practicing by repeating something over again is still the best way to improve, and that’s as true of learning to play music as it is anything else.
