Learning Objectives of the Course
In this 12-week course, you will:
- Master the basic mrdanga drum patterns that form the foundation for all playing
- Refine these patterns through repetitive "hand practice" to achieve mastery
- Develop strength, speed, and stamina vital for fuller and sustained mrdanga rhythms
- Learn techniques for increasing flexibility and control in both hands
- Explore rhythmic variations and improvisations upon the fundamental patterns
- Put it all together to progress your mrdanga skills to the next level
The course will culminate in a final practice session where you will be able to demonstrate your newfound fluidity and control over the mrdanga. With consistent hasta-sadhana, you will be able to express yourself fully through rhythm and offer melodic mrdanga accompaniment to kirtan.
No prior experience required. Mrdangas will be provided.
