Course Summary

In this course, students will have an idea of Kaida, Rela, Laggi, Tukra, Gat, Chakardar in Teen Taal and Jhap Taal and also they will know how the improvisations proceeds for Kaida, Rela, etc. They will also learn some more compositions on those 2 Taals. Here they will be introduced with Suruyat & Peshkar (both are the same in some Gharanas and in some, they play both separately), those are played during the beginning of a Tabla solo. This is a very important part of training. Though it’s played in the beginning, students will start learning this at this level, as these compositions are ornamented with some intricate Layakari (rhythmic pattern), Modulations of Bayan, and also some Bol’s (Syllables) which need to be polished during previous courses, only then it will be comfortable to play and they could enjoy the beauty of Suruyat & Peshkar. They will learn more Bayan modulations with some compositions and part practices and recitation of Jhap Taal in a different tempo. Rupal Taal – 7 beats will be introduced with some compositions- kaida, rela, and also some fixed compositions- Takra, Gat, Chakardar. Students will learn Jaati, Khanda Jaati, and Mishra Jaati, how to recite and small compositions, this will help them to understand the layakari in a higher level and also will help during accompaniment. In this level, they will learn Keharwa Taal – 8 beats, theka, and some variations of theka. This Taal is very popular with Bhajan & Thumri, Dadra.
