Hindustani / Ragas / Yaman
Raag Yaman
Serene, devotional, romantic - the classic first raga. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and all seven coming down. Phrases centre on Gandhar - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Nishad as samvadi.
Swars: Madhyam Teevra. Rest all Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
