The Swar Sadhana process is unbroken and is enhanced by encouraging the student to create and sing various Swara patterns. The Raga that has been a composer’s favourite, Raga Khamaj is introduced. The concepts of Shuddh, Komal and Tivra Swara positions is discussed along with Raga characteristics. In Raga Khamaj, a Tarana is introduced along with the Chhota Khayal.
