Adventures in Thaat

A thaat is a scale in classical Indian music. I have a list of 10 thaats. Each thaat is said to invoke and paint a different feeling or emotion.

I am a beginning harmonium student. I have a list of scales exercises to practice in each thaat. Every thaat can start on any of the 12 keys in a scale. Therefore, I have 120 thaats to learn. This blog will chronical my exploration of these thaats, the emotions they evoke, and the learning process.
