Synopsis

This is not a book on Ragas. This edition of the book is focused only on 8 note sargam taans / patterns. This book has 1100+ exercises in it. It is great for 8 and 16 beat taal rhythm cycles. The patterns are put together in a flowing manner going up and down a scale. Practicing 8 note patterns / alankars / paltas will help you build your speed and stamina. These exercises will give you thousands of hours of practice (riyaaz).Just like the other 3 books this one is thaat based. It is written in Bilawal thaat (a major scale in western music). The other thaats listed in this book will give you at least 10 times the amount to practice. Once you understand a raga then you will know how to add it to these exercises. These exercises are the foundation of any great Indian classical musician. These exercises are great for jazz musicians also. By doing this kind of practice you will become a pro at improvisation.
