Raga Jaunpuri is a Raga which is similar to Asavari in substance. This course starts with Swar Sadhana in Jaunpuri Swaras. The Chhota Khayal in this Raga is reviewed. The essence of this Raga is explored by learning a Bada Khayal with Aalap and Taan development. Swar Sadhana exercises include singing Alankar in all 10 Thaats. Raga Gaud Sarang with the zig zag Swar Chalan and the emphasis on Shuddh Gandhar is as fresh as cool breeze. A Chhota Khayal is learnt in this Raga.
