Mridangam and Carnatic music, in general, have a steep learning curve. They value improvisation a lot more than just rote learning. For this, it is imperative to have a mridangam teacher guide the students step by step in a journey that explores their imaginations. There are certain mridangam techniques that the teachers provide you to benefit your improvisation skills. Getting the sitting posture right is also critical since you’ll need to be comfortable practicing mridangam for hours while being seated.

Konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally in South Indian music to convey a larger Thalam. It is often compared with hand placements in mridangam. Several mridangam artists engage in teaching Konnakol as well. Learning Konnakol aids your mridangam learning considerably. Konnakol can also be termed as a mimic of the mridangam instrument. Knowing mridangam is not compulsory to learn Konnakol, but it will give you a more solid understanding of the instrument if you learn Konnakol.
