This is useful for instrument tuning or for quick reference of notes in the raag. Notes2Raag tool shows the raags that make use of provided three or more notes. Sur Abhyas tool allows generating random sequences of notes/phrases provided. Alankars tool can be used to build and practice alankars based on the notes selected. Layakaari tool allows practicing the concepts taal jaatis and chhands. For a given phrase, this tool can generate random sequences of notes in selected jaati (for example, 3-3-2 or 4-4 for a given phrase of 8 notes). Ear Training: An important aspect of music education - listen and recognize sur or taal! Raag Quest: Listen to an audio clip and try to figure out the raag used - learning by listening! More questions are added to Raag Quest tool in releases 1.0.5 and 1.0.6.
