Extremely useful to serious learners of classical music. Swaras maintain rhythmic consistency. Imagine Tabla player sitting next to you all the time.
Modern era belongs to computers. Riyaz has acted as Bridge of learning between Music and Science.
I am sure this CD will help learners of classical Music. I feel 'RIYAZ' is great blessing and gift by Dr Chaitanya to wonderful world of Music.

Through this CD anyone will be able to easily learn music at home. I am sure this project will be highly successful.
In Indian Classical Music, Performing artists either experienced professionals or learners, to gain and maintain mastery over it, need continuous day to day Practice, i.e. what is called as Riyaz.
This Riyaz needs the following two basic things
Swar and Tal are the main important Pillars of any Musical Learning Process.
Knowledge of tuning and assistance to play these instruments, along with time and mood, are the other needs which put forth many limitations to this Riyaz e.g. Artist has to do his or her riaz in accordance with the convenience and the time given by the assistance.![]()
Here in Riyaz Swar-Tal, it has been tried to overcome all these limitations.
Riyaz Swar-Tal - is a first ever computer based program, in which we have provided Pretuned both Swar and Tal, in standard major scales.
Pretuned Tanpura option.
Pretuned Tanpura option is available in 2 categories - Single Tanpura and Double Tanpura i.e. also known as Jod Tanpura, it is further available in three standard Swars- Pancham, Madhyam, and Nishad.
In any option and in any Swar, Tanpura is available in 3 laya (i.e. speed) Slow, Medium and High speed, Which, on play, gives almost a live feel.
Thus, the need of tuning and playing Tanpura instrument, is absolutely avoided.
Pretuned Tabla option
23 taals are given in Riyaz Swar-Tal, in different laya forms (pretuned to major standard scales). These laya's are categorized in 3 different forms-i.e. Vilambit laya, Madhya laya and Drut laya, depending upon taal.
Wherever catagory is not required, they are given in rising order of speed (or tempo) i.e. from slow to fast.
Due to the practical consideration in approach, it has been tried to cover maximum types of laya, which one normally requires in Riyaz. Thus, the need of tuning and playing Tabla instrument, is absolutely avoided.
The purpose of Riyaz Swar-Tal, is to help learners, to make their Riyaz totally independent. Riyaz Swar-Tal is given in interactive C.D. format and scale wise divided into two parts.
Scale- G Sharp(Kali 4), A Sharp(Kali 5), A(Saphed 6),
Scale- C Sharp(Kali 1), D Sharp(Kali 2), D(Saphed 2)
All tals in Scale C Sharp(Kali 1) and D Sharp(Kali 2) are given in both High
Pitched (Taar Swar) and low pitched (Kharja Swar) some of them are made available on Pakhawaj. Thus, Riyaz Swar-Tal, is a modern simple device. It can be operated easily by any artist at any stage of learning. This device, therefore, will help to make Riyaz absolutely independent.
Only one requires a good computer with multimedia facility along with proper knowledge of handling it.
