These exercises help you hit notes no matter what their sequence.Late last year, I had the unique opportunity to teach a course in Cultural Studies to students of music at a reputed university in Bangalore. Laya pattern: 11- 44 – 33 -22 and 11-22-33-44ĭaaTu varisai are sequences in which the notes “jump” up and down. Janta with dhatu-style jumps and zig-zag (ss mm gg rr) followed by janta pattern. One line has dheergams (s, r, g – s r g) followed by janta pattern.ĭheergams at the first and second notes of the pattern. One line has dheergams (s r, g, – s r g) followed by janta pattern.ĭheergams at the second and third notes of the pattern. One line has dheergams (s, r g, – s r g) followed by janta pattern.ĭheergams at the first and third notes of the pattern. Note that this janta and the previous two jantas all had a laya base pattern of 123-123-12 – 1234-5678 but they divided the three counts in different ways. Triple janta (sss-rrr-gg) and pattern repeated. Janta with dheergams interspersed in a slightly different pattern (s,s – r,r -gg) and pattern repeated. Janta with dheergams interspersed (ss, – rr, -gg) and pattern repeated. Janta with single notes (eg: ssrrg-srg), and pattern repeated.Ħ. Janta with single notes (eg: ssr-ssr-sr), and pattern repeated.ĥ. Zigzag: srgr-rgmg-… pattern, but in janta. Janta Emphasis (starting and ending) at each of the seven notes When you have mastered this, learn to sing the lesson in four speeds, with taaLam.Ģ. When there are triples of notes (s s s) emphasize the second note as well. When you have two notes, emphasize the second. Practice emphasizing the second note and avoid singing both notes in a plain manner. The use of one plain note followed by a forceful one is a type of gamaka called spuritam. These should be sung with force and emphasis from the first note to the second: sa sa ri ri ga ga etc…. JanTai varisai are the second lessons, which involve double and triples of a single swara.
