Course Summary

Students will learn more compositions like Kaida, Rela & Laggi in Teen Taal. This will help them to strengthen the foundation laid out during the Beginners Level – 1 & Level – 2 courses. They will learn the Teengun (triplet) and Chaugun ( 4 times of the single speed) of Teen Taal and also how to recite and play that tempo and how to play Kaida’s in that tempo. This will strengthen their Laya and control over Tala and tempo. The students will start learning another Tala, Jhaap Taal – 10 beats. Compositions in Jhaap Taal will also be taught and also some fixed compositions on it, like Tukra, Gat, Chakardar along with Teen Taal. They will slowly understand how to improvise the Kaida & Rela. In Tabla very important part is Bayan, the bass drum. People generally neglect this, but this is the most important part of both the drums. Correct Bayan fingering and modulations will give a high dimension during Tabla playing. So students will learn the techniques of some modulations with Bayan. They will also start learning Dadra Taal – 6 beats, Theka, and some variations of the theka.
