Music Yoga - Basics 1.2 Hindustani Classical Music - Some basic palta
I am assuming you read and practiced the previous notes on my introduction to singing using Indian classical music.
This lesson notes will teach you some vocal exercise phrases a.k.a Palta or Alankars.
The notations are also defined in previous notes on this topic.
- These are to be sung/vocalized along with the beat and with a steady tempo.
- Start with a slower tempo and gradually in later repetitions speed up the tempo.
- Repeat these 20 to 30 times at different speeds
- try a metronome or keyboard with preset beat patterns
- The ones listed below are for the full scale ( all notes ) but later we can do other scales like minor scales or other raga-based options for these with specifically selected notes only omitting certain notes based on the raga.
