Learning a new raga and bandish is a very exciting moment for any "shishya" or learner. Especially in north Indian classical music, also termed as Hindustani classical music, the granular study of shrutis is very crucial, and of equal importance, is the proper use of musical embellishments - like meend, kan-swar, khatka, murki, gamak, besides many others. Only by way of the "Guru-shishya parampara", the deep essence of Indian classical music is revealed, or can be truly experienced first-hand. Within the Gwalior-gharana, an inordinate amount of emphasis is placed on constantly strengthening the voice of the learner, and developing it in a manner, that he or she can easily, and in a very pleasing manner, transverse the three octaves. Building upon this strong vocal foundation is very important. The above video-clip, was filmed by a non-native student of mine, from the Far-East, whilst I'm teaching her a very popular and traditional age-old afternoon raga - Raga Bhimpalasi. The bandish is set to "teen-taal" which is the most famous amongst all the others. In this, one can notice the step-by-step, or progressive development of a particular musical nuance, corresponding to it's overall importance within the rehearsed musical piece.

Sharing a small video of a precious moment of the learning-talim from my guru, Pt. Laxman Krishnarao Pandit. The Raga is my favourite the ever popular Raga Kedar, in which well-known composition in Teen Tala Kanha Re Nand Nandan is being rendered. I have had the great blessings since childhood to learn from my mother, Smt. Abha Pandit, who is my first guru and teacher. As a child, she started teaching me popular compositions and would also play the tabla. This particular evening is special as she also sat with us and accompanied on the tabla. The relationship between a guru and a shishya is life-long one. Leaning is an endless process through the whole life. I just wanted to share this with you. This beautiful bandish is based on Raga Kedar. Sthai- Kanha re nand nandan Param niranjan he dukh bhanjan Antara- Kantha bani motiyan ki maal Prerit mugdhit bhai braj bala re, nand nandan Please write your comments and write to me regarding what you would like to listen and hear.
