Konnakol Korvai in Adi Tala #1: Carnatic Music Lessons

[@mahadevansridharan6482]

Explained in much better way than most of the vidwans show in their videos. The main problem with most of them is that they put the video more to show their expertise and assuming all viewers are learned mirthangsnists and not students. Those videos have no value for learners. Why can’t we follow this technique so that the video is useful

[@sitamani7528]

This is an amazing explanation. Thank you very much for the video

Thank you for demystifying Korvai’s! This is one of the clearest presentations on this subject that I have seen. Adding the sub-rhythmic phrases visually while you vocalize the Konakkol is masterful as a teaching aid. A lot of effort must have gone into this, and the result is absolutely beautiful!

I hope to see more on Carnatic music on this channel, particularly if you can discuss how you incorporate these ideas onto an instrument like the guitar and how it works with your songwriting. I'll be coming back hear to practice with you. Thanks

Hi. My name is Ramya Jayaraj and I'm from Chennai. I do really appreciate your effort in learning this Korvai along with the Adi Taalam and making a video for others to learn from it. I have a doubt though. How does Thaangu at 4:30 in the 3-tim3 repetition cycle, count as 5? Shouldn't it be the same 3 count, as always?

[@inavarsa]
