This course may be repeated for credit.

This course will introduce advanced students of karnatak vocal music to raga alapana and svara kalpana, the most important forms of melodic improvisation. Students will begin by learning precomposed examples of these forms. As they become comfortable with idiom, they will progress to designing their own improvisations.

Essential Capabilities: Intercultural Literacy
South Indian music is learned by listening rather than by reading music.
