Student is encouraged tossing extempore Aalap with different compositions like Bada Khayal, Chhota Khayal, Dhrupad and Tarana. Student can apply these concepts to Raga based Bhajans. Raga Brindavani Sarang is revisited. A Tarana is learnt in Brindavani Sarang exploring the speedy phrases that express this Raga beatifully. A Bada Khayal Bandish in this Raga would show how this Raga which has expressions through folk music transforms itself into Raga in full bloom!
