We will be covering the idea of Raags, Kirtan, how to sing in tune and how to listen to your voice 'from your body', learning a composition and improvising in Raag Yaman, an introduction to Taal/ Rhythms in Indian music, and Tihais. We will commence the session with a short meditation and an Alaap by Vinod on Bansuri to get us all into the one space.
