About this Event

The workshop includes breathing exercises for control, depth, and expanse for singing Alaap (abstract melodic development governed by a framework) in time-appropriate Raag (melodic scale) over the drone of Tanpura, an ancient instrument with only 4 strings. It also involves rhythm and polyrhythm practice of clap-counting Taal (time interval) with accents in a cyclical manner to build muscle memory. Eventually, composition (traditional text in Sanskrit, often an ode to gods/goddesses composed in a raag and taal) is sung to put the practice of fundamental techniques to application in exploring and expressing this beautiful music style full of meditative and tranquil effects.

Suitable for both musicians and non-musicians, with or without any prior knowledge of Dhrupad. No musical instruments are required to be brought by participants.

Dr. Sumeet Anand is the 10th generation Dhrupad vocalist of Darbhanga Tradition (350+ years old music family in India) having 25 years of training and 15 years of professional experience in teaching and performing.
