[@mmeduri4116]

Praveen ji, Namaskaram! 🙏 I am impressed with your explanation on how to start learning this beautiful instrument that had constantly amazed me for so many years. I am thrilled to know that even I can learn Mridangam. But my questions here: 1. Where to buy a good Mridangam (we stay in the USA)? 2. I know it is not as easy as you had explained to a music-layman like myself. Do you suggest any live lessons for undergoing through a Guru-lead training? I request you to kindly suggest a proper school to get trained at least as an enthusiast. 3. How long do you think I should practice per day (for how many years) at least to play as a prayer to the god if not as an artist on the stage? Please respond as you get some time! Once again great thanks and a huge Namaskarams! 🙏🙏🙏

[@PraveenKumar]

Namaste! Happy to know that you are resonating with this beautiful instrument. I'll try to help you as much as I can, pease write to me on [e-mail]

[@emeeesh]

Thank you 😀

[@shankr]

Precious lessons and great delivery. Thank you Praveen! I am a complete beginner working on a theoretical exercise to map solkattu to mridangam strokes, and it is becoming obvious that there isn't a 1-1 mapping. For example, the solkattu 'tha' maps to stroke 'tha' in ' tha dhi dhom num' whereas the same 'tha' maps to 'dhi' in 'tha ka dhi na' and so on. Am I okay in assuming that at a phrase level, the mapping will always be the same? Like, I will always need to use 'dhi' for 'tha' whenever I play the phrase 'tha ka dhi na'? Will be grateful for any help or pointers!

[@shankr]

Lol, I should have watched all three parts before asking questions. You have explained this in the second part. It does lead to more questions though. I will watch all the parts first before asking them :).

[@dharanisharma6819]

thank you so much im into your lessons for more than a week now it made me from nothing to a mediocre but my mridangam isnt tuned its my grandathers and its a nut and bolt one can you please make a video to tune it

Hi Praveen -- can I ask what the origin of these lessons is? I study Kanjira with a teacher from Chennai, and he uses *exactly* the same phrases when I first started. I am wondering if it is a standard methodology in carnatic music. Thank you!

[@PraveenKumar]

Yes, we have a common methodology!

I have one question Sir. I am completely unaware of the knowledge of scale. But my mridangam doesn't sound like you. Would you tell me in which scale it should be tuned that it sounds exactly like you?

[@PraveenKumar]

For the Mridangam to sound good, it has to be tuned perfectly. If you are new to this instrument, I suggest you take it to a Mridangam maker. He will certainly help you fix it.
