I have a degree in music from a Western conservatory. This video, and others on konnakol make me realize that my concept of rhythm is utterly rudimentary compared to the masters of Indian music in general, and konnakol in particular. Truly a revelation. 👍👍
I have too a music master degree, from Milan conservatory (Italy). Actually, Western rhythm is bond to syllabation too, especially from Ancient Greek poetry. Practicing time quantisation is often much more mind-blowing than simply using the metronome, but for time economy purpose we always forget it!
I teach elementary school music in the United states. Our school's focus is global studies. Im definitely introducing my children to this. Theywill not make it past the changing accent but this is such ana amazing resource. Thank you for taking the time tonlay this out so clearly!!!!
I realize your comment is 4 years old and you might not read this reply. Just in case...i hope you introduced your students to konnakol. I've loved music for as long as I can remember and my elementary school music teacher was pivotal in feeding that interest and developing its structure. She also played us music from different styles and cultures...we learned Beatles songs in 1972. She recommended to my parents that I should receive piano lessons and I'm so thankful. I'm 55 and have earned a living from writing, performing and/or teaching piano & guitar for most of my working life, an ill advised foray into the corporate world notwithstanding. My point is that educators like you are important and appreciated. All the best.
Thank you for sharing the musical wealth with the world.Your videos have helped me to feel and sense where i am in a phrase and enjoy the natural rightness witch causes great fun and relaxation to my being. I wish you the best of physical and spiritual well being.
Thank you, I love this. In the vocal impro classes I took we practised similar stuff, but not with these particular syllables. Practising this calibrates the inner clock so precisely, I already had forgotten about it.
I would love to find a way to bring you to Colorado to teach this. Is there a way to correspond with you and see if this is possible? Thank you so much for your teaching!
I noticed the tala is counted the first four beats with the fingers of the hand, the second four beats the palm down on beats 1 & 3, palm up on beats 2 & 4. Can someone explain the reason behind this?
This is Aadi Taala (8 beat cycle) and it consits of 3 parts. The 8 beats are divided into 3 parts of 4, 2 and 2. The first part is named laghu and the latter 2 parts are named dhrutas. A laghu is counted on the fingers (1 beat plus 3 finger counts = 4) A dhruta is counted by a beat followed by another with upturned palm. Hence 4 beats for the first part, then a beat + palm up and another beat + palm up.
They start from the drutha of the adi thaalam and then go on to the next one. Basically, they flip their hand twice while starting instead of counting the fingers first. Then they count the fingers and flip it two more times to complete that avarthana.
He doesn't explain why he turns his hands only on thoms and sometimes on the nams but only claps normally when sayong thas and dhis... I don't get it. Is there any complete tutorial?
Thats aadi taala which follows the beat of 1-2-3-4(slap thigh, lil finger placed, ring finger placed and followed by middle finger placed) and then 5-6-7-8 slap-turn over-slap-turn over. Theres many taalas that are use as and when required.
Turning of the hand is a part of the rhythmic cycle he is using. It is called Ado tala which is an eight beat cycle. In order to simplify the counting process, it is divided into 2 parts. First four, beats also called Laghu is remembered by utting and beat followed by counting of the fingers, starting from the little finger, then ring finger and finally the middle finger. The next 4 counts is further divided into two parts. It is called Dhritam. It encompasses a beat followed by turning of the hand. So the adi talam has 1 laghu and 2 dhritams.
It's a south indian thing. The h denotes a soft t ("thank") and no h means a hard t ("tank"). In romanisation of north indian languages this h-distinction is not used.

TheZenguitarguy hi, please mail me on manju_bc@yahoo.com
Noooo- So that you western people can fuck that up too like you did with yoga and appropriate it? No - keep it at your own western scales.
I am in Colorado and would come.
TheSunshinefee Obviously yoga hasn't suppressed your ego.
@@TheSunshinefee I'm going to learn konnakol out of spite now.
More such videos please🙏
Amazing. ❤️

Is this only for Mridangam or applicable to generally for music ??

The 8 beats are divided into 3 parts of 4, 2 and 2. The first part is named laghu and the latter 2 parts are named dhrutas.
A laghu is counted on the fingers (1 beat plus 3 finger counts = 4)
A dhruta is counted by a beat followed by another with upturned palm.
Hence 4 beats for the first part, then a beat + palm up and another beat + palm up.
Can I have your downloadable videos on konnakol.?
can anyone please explain the structure of threes? (4:34) thanks!
They start from the drutha of the adi thaalam and then go on to the next one. Basically, they flip their hand twice while starting instead of counting the fingers first. Then they count the fingers and flip it two more times to complete that avarthana.
@@sanjanasriv thats very complicated. The hands thingy
@@camiloin Not really tbh. Adi taalam is an 8 beat cycle and instead of starting at the beginning, they start halfway through
@@sanjanasriv why? thnks btw
Nice!!!!

Its natural for people that come from classical music background hence why he says in the beginning that "everone knows aadi taala right
?"
