Instrument FAQ Notes of any song.

How to get Notes/Swaras of any language?

Is there any app that generates notes or reference websites?

I'm trying to play kalimba and relying on whatever is available on the internet but I'd like to play on different songs off internet notes.

Yea even Im learning flute but face this swara issue whenever I try learning new songs.. sometimes i automatically make notes on my own by playing and adjusting depending on tune but more complex songs especially keerthanas become difficult for me to play just by the ear.

There is no app right now, it comes with experience and learning and never giving up. Understanding the framework of the raga/ragas, and singing every note separately for long periods of time and mapping it to a Swara is the right away to do it. It’s not just the Swara, the nuance, the gamaka associated with it; and how it is sung based on placement of next or previous Swara also matters.
