Thank you so much for lessons.. Sir..
you are a great teacher..
you are explaining things in an easy way...
i would like to practise more.. actually i play tabla .. i haven't learned mridangam yet..
i love this instrument i have a base Tabla ..having Mridangam tone...
can i practice your lessons in it ?

[@mysorevadiraj]

Thanks, it would be apt if you practice Mridangam syllables on Mridangam only, otherwise it would not be good. We should play tabla like tabla & Mridangam like Mridangam. Every percussion instrument is unique in its own way. 😃
You can get quality Mridangam classes from Octaves online.

[@sreekeshsrinivasan2654]

Very useful lesson sir thanks so much, could you please tech dhin syllable

[@OctavesOnline]

Certainly! Thank you for your feedback and interest in our Indian classical vocal and instrumental learning videos.
The "dhin" syllable is a fundamental component in the rhythmic framework of Indian classical music, particularly in the context of tabla playing. "Dhin" is one of the syllables used to represent the bols (mnemonics) associated with various strokes on the tabla.
In tabla playing, "dhin" typically represents the sound produced by striking the smaller drum (dayan) with the index finger of the dominant hand. It is a resonant and melodic stroke, often played with a combination of finger techniques to produce a clear and resonant tone.
To learn and practice the "dhin" syllable effectively, I recommend focusing on the following:
1. Hand Position: Ensure your hand is positioned correctly on the tabla drum, with the index finger poised to strike the surface.
2. Stroke Technique: Practice striking the drum surface with your index finger, aiming for a clear and resonant sound. Experiment with the angle and pressure of your finger to find the optimal tone.
3. Rhythm Practice: Incorporate the "dhin" syllable into basic tabla rhythms (such as the tintal or teental) to develop your sense of timing and groove.
4. Speed and Control: Gradually increase the speed at which you can play the "dhin" syllable while maintaining clarity and control over the sound.
Remember, consistent practice and attention to detail are key to mastering any aspect of Indian classical music. I hope this helps you in your journey of learning. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!
