This course , the first in the Raga Deep Dive provides an insight into Raga Yaman. Hindusthani classical music, the Ragdhari Sangeet is the music of improvisation within the perview of the Raga. Singing a Raga is much more than just making permutations and combinations with Swaras. It involves a keen sense of understanding the persona that every Raga has. This course introduces the student to the exploration of Raga in the form Bada Khayal, which is meditative, the medium tempo Chhota Khayal along with the more popular compositions like Bhajans. Emphasis is on creativity(Alaap,Taan) and Swara Sadhana(which includes voice training and voice culture).
