Laya/Tala exercises for Krithi level Carnatic students

Dear Students,

I am very pleased to announce that I have completed the first phase of my project of devising some Laya/Tala exercises for you.  These exercises are meant to help you strengthen your hold on the Laya/Tala aspects and enable you to render rhythmical complexities with ease.

All krithi level students, please download and print this book - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2usQL9U958McWRXcFZUUmpmMDA/view?usp=sharing

In this book, I have devised and notated exercises to facilitate practice of 'idam' or 'eduppu' for major talas - Adi, Rupaka Chapu, Mishra Chapu, and Khanda Chapu.  I will teach these exercises in class as well.

Thank you,
Lalit

    Dear Lalit
    I am student of music. I have been searching for laya exercises and found your pdf recently. I would be grateful if you could kindly send me the audio of these exercises for better understanding. I am learning manasu swadheenamaina in Shankarabharanam in misra chapu. I have to put swarams at Raja rajesha.. Hence I am trying to understand the misra chapu laya exercise.
    Thanks In advance

      Dear MusicMaathrika, I am glad you found the exercises useful. I have not recorded an audio for the exercise, I am sorry! If you are finding tough to execute the exercises in Misra Chapu, please try putting Trisra Triputa instead to understand the exact positions.
