About the Course

Students enrolled for this course will learn an important aspect of raga which pertains to the sequence of notes when rendered, the way they are rendered and the speed at which they are rendered, known as challan in Hindustani classical music. Students through this course will be taught the nuances that will help them get a firm grip or pakad on the challan or the aspects of ragas mentioned earlier. Through the initial part of this course students will be taught a composition adhering to 16 beats or teen tala, playing it on the sitar with fixed taan and jhala. Further on in the course students will be introduced and taught about alap which relates to the first portion of the music rendered in an instrumental performance, also meant to introduce the raga, it is slow in tempo. Students also learn about jor, besides learning 5 different types of taans in meer and gamak. Jor is considered to be the musical play that comes after alap at beginning of a performance and before the conclusion using, jhala. Gamak is the ornamentation or alankara that emphasises on the ragas individual characteristic. Gamak is an important aspect of hindustani classical music. Gamakas are defined as per ragas, as such the gamakas for each raga differs in its characteristics or the style it is presented. The concluding lessons in this course will teach students the system to adhere to while rendering a raga on the sitar, to make the students performance ready.
