How important is it to learn intricate Tabla bols for a Hindustani vocalist?
Rhythm and Taal in Hindustani Music
This masterclass is for students of Hindustani vocals, both newcomers and practitioners, who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Rhythm in Indian Classical Music.
We're in class with Ronkini Gupta, a virtuoso who has defined herself as a wonderful teacher in Indian vocals.
With all her accolades, she sees music as what it truly is. More than a language, it is the heartbeat of humanity.
With that in focus, we're discussing Indian Vocal Rhythm in a masterclass where we cover:
1. Taal & Lay ( Direction/ Metric/ Speed)
2. Exercises to build body rhythm, the sense of Khali and Bhari, sense of time and space.
3. Exercises to build familiarity with every beat of the taal.
4. Exercise to build control over "Aavartan" or beat cycle.
5. The significance of pause and silence, sound of syllables.
6. The concept of Tihaai and developing an understanding of it.
7. Laykaari - the ability to play around. Saath and sangat and how sangat can be a more interesting game.
Unlock masterful vocals with Ronkini Gupta in a live, interactive masterclass.
