Abstract

Taan is a one of the important concept in the recital of Bada Khayal Gayaki. It can be, called as one of the ornaments while presenting a Khayal in any Raga. There are various nuances, to the concept of Taan, which a learner needs to understand before presenting the Taan .The musicologists have explained in brief the definition as well as the types of Taan. The learner needs to know, how to implement the theory, while presenting the Taan as a part of the Khayal Gayaki. My focus of the research paper, is to narrow the gap between the theory and presentation of Taan. Apart from that. I will be discussing the stages in preparation and presentation of the Taan.We can bring the variations in the patterns of Taan based on the speed. Taan is the’ point of peak’ in the recital of any Bada Khayal Gayaki in Hindustani Classical Vocal Music, and Raga is the framework or the base line for creating the patterns of Taan.
