Indian music and melodies are always rich and great compared to world/western music. Indian music can be broadly classified into two groups, The Classical Music and the Folk Music. These two music have its own rich identity depending upon its region and language.

One such musician is Sadhana Sargam, a Vocalist who is trained in Hindustani Classical music quite at an young age to pursue a shining career in Film Music as a Playback Singer and also in Classical and Devotional Forms of Music.
BIOGRAPHY
Here we are proud to present the Biography which we preserved it from her Official Website long back in 2002 :
Music is the soul of Sadhana. That's what she responds to completely, passionately. How else could one explain a long drawn career in music, without the numbers of accolades and awards coming through. Determination, they say, can move the Almighty, who can move mountains. And it is fierce determination that drives Sadhana to perform her best every single time.
As one of Bollywood's most talented and best-trained singer, she is very modest when it comes to her singing career and ability. She feels that she's lucky with whatever she has achieved so far - "God has gifted me with a good voice, and the talent to sing", she says. She adds,"I am also one of the few lucky ones to have received the proper guidance needed in this field. The songs that have come my way are few but good. I have worked with most of the music directors of today and each one has given me their best compositions. This is what has kept me going and I'm happy to be in this field and giving them my best."
For her, her profession is "Pooja" and she definitely treats her career with the same reverence.
Sadhana is the daughter of reputed classical singer and music …teacher Neela Ghanekar and commercial artist Purshotam Ghanekar. Influenced by the musical environs of her home, Sadhana began to learn singing and classical music from the age of four. She won a Central Government scholarship at the age of ten and this led to a seven year learning stint under Sangeet Marthand Pandit Jasraj.
From childhood she was also learning and performing with the late maestro, Vasant Desai for his documentaries, children's films, and stage shows. Desai advised her mother that Sadhana was competent enough to handle both classical and light music and should remain in touch with both, as her mother wanted her to take up light singing. In fact, Desai recommended that she learn under Sangeet Marthand Pandit Jasraj.
Her talent ensured her accompanying the great Sangeet Marthand Pandit Jasrajji to various stage-shows where he performed. Her "Puriya Dhanshree" still brings out memories for the few who have been lucky to hear her perform in Savai Ghandharv Festival in Pune.
Sadhana's mother knew arranger - composer Anil Mohile, who was then arranging music for the famous Padmashree Kalyanji - Anandji. He introduced Sadhana to them. That day changed her life. Impressed by her voice and skills (she had a private audience with him and sang 'Humko Man Ki Shakti Dena' from Guddi), Padmashree Kalyanji - Anandji took her under their wing and designed says Sadhana gratefully, a "complete course in music for me". This included a special emphasis on 'bhaav' (expression), modulations and Urdu diction, which Sadhana learnt under a moulvi (Muslim priest) sent by Kalyanji.
She performed the first Hindi song (solo) with Kalyanji-Anandji 'Door Nahin Rehna' in the film Rustom. However, Sadhana's first released film was Vidhaata (1982), in which she was one of the seven singers for Padmini Kolhapuri in the chartbuster 'Saat Saheliyan'.
However, it was only with 'Har Kisiko Nahin Milta' (Jaanbaaz / 1986) that she was really noticed. The tune still brings out the goose pimples. Highly impressed, Rajesh Roshan shouldered the entire score of Khudgarz on her. This film and its songs like 'Yahin Kahin Jiyara Hamar', 'Mai Se Meena Se' and 'Log Kehte Hain' also demonstrated her range, as all three duets were different.
She got a major boost from Tridev (Padmashree Kalyanji - Anandji, Viju Shah) in 1989 in which she shone in 'Main Teri Mohabbat Mein' and 'Gajar Ne Kiya Hai Ishara'.
In the early 90's, Sadhana soon emerged as the busiest singer. Anand - Milind, Nadeem - Shravan, Anu Malik, Jatin - Lalit, Bappi Lahiri, Dilip Sen - Sameer Sen were among the frontline composers who used her dulcet assured voice.
In the post - 1995 period, Sadhana has sung much less, but has had a decent share of hits and has enhanced her skills, progressing in her art, devoting considerable time to Kala Veer Academy (Kalyanji's training school for upcoming talent) and to her pursuit of classical music, with the Academy and otherwise. Her classical performance at the recent Dinanath Mangeshkar Centenary celebrations in Kolhapur won her rave reviews and frank admiration from none other than Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
From her early years, Sadhana has taken music seriously. She is not a flamboyant singer. Trained traditionally in classical music, her love for it grown with every song that she sings. At first hearing, Sadhana's voice - quality and singing style are amazingly similar to Lata Mangeshkar. However, in her songs in the recent serial Noorjehan, she has sung at a lower scale in which she seems to resemble Asha Bhosle more!
The fact remains that Sadhana (who was given the attractive suffix 'Sargam' by mentor Kalyanji) has evolved a distinct style of her own over the years.
With her thorough foundation, she cannot be a mimic even if she wants to. Unfairly branded as only a 'sober' singer, Sadhana has proved her range with her songs, from the devotional 'Mohan Radha Ka Sansaar' / Noorjehan to the seductive 'Main Teri Hoon Jaanam / Khoon Bhari Maang. With the latter, she has effectively silenced her critics who labeled her a 'classically-oriented' singer.
And now… Barely busy in Bollywood today, Sadhana is unperturbed and continues to get (and expect) work on merit. She is planning to do a private album and has just released "Humsafar", in which she has a couple of songs with Pankaj Udhas. "Her goals are much higher than just playback singing". She has also released private albums such as "Oh my love" and "Omkar tu Ganesha".
