session 1
- We are choosing Bilawal in the initial training because that is the shuddh or basic scale of both Hindustani & Western music. The mind needs a strong basic reference scale in order to recognize the 5 other notes as variations from these references. Therefore, intensifying the memory and aesthetic experience of Bilawal as a scale is critical.
- He/She gets a sense of the ascent-descent character of the notes canvas.
- He/She gets a sense of the relationship between notes at an octave’s interval – Madhya Sa and Taar Sa.
- He/She gets a sense of the way music is painted through different sequences of notes, groupings, and time differential patterns.
- He/She gets a sense of mirror imaging of patterns as ascent changes to descent.By practising these with external tala aids like a theka or keeping count in the hands by prescribedkriya patterns, the student gets to experience Tala concept and sub-concepts – regular tempo, cycle, the relationship between music units and cycle, the relationship of rhythm with numbers through Tala multiplication to achieve levels of speed, accents, simple cross rhythms etc.
session 2
- Sense of relationship between different pairs of notes.
- Sense of patterns through permutation. Jugglery / musical acrobatics.
- Progressive readiness in note location.
- Vocal enablement, promptness, efficiency, fitness.

session 5
- The essence of any genre is captured in the song forms. The easiest hindustani classical song forms that can convey the sense of raag music in the student is the chhota khayal or drut (fast) khayal. The swar geet, drut (fast) khayal, taraana, chaturang - all are structured more or less according to same construction principles, based on taals like teentaal & ektaal, the most popular being the teentaal.

But, an untrained musician is aware that he/she has a sense of these scale types. The training process has to enable the students to relate the sense to conceptual knowledge and bring it to the level of skill.
