A Tarana composition is usually sung in the same raga in vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) laya in order to create an interesting variation. Usually Taranas are sung in a very fast tempo. Tarana singers are required to have a good practice in tongue-twisting syllables.

Is three years of age too early to get a kid start learning Carnatic music if the kid can quickly memorize and sing rhymes/slokas, considering the parents are not from a singing background?
Learning has no age! And it's best to start as early as possible! Kids are a blank canvas at an early age, and you can expose them to good values and direct them in a productive direction at that point!...
