Group Singing Class - Opening the Voice with Raga
RAGA CLASS: Winter Session 6 weeks
November 7 - December 19, 2017
7:30 - 8:45pm
Learn to open the voice while you immerse in the ancient meditative art of raga, a musical science based on the cycles of nature and evoking a vast array of emotions and moods, or "coloring" of the mind. Indian music teaches listening in a whole new wayl. Vocal music is considered the foundation of all music in this tradition.
This session will focus on ragas that evoke the contemplative energy of Winter time.
Classes focus on the intoxicating vocal compositions of Maestro Ali Akbar Khan (with whom Megan Yalkut, the instructor, has studied since 1994). Each class includes sargam (the Indian solfege) exercises, explanations of raga and Indian music styles, and practice in the rhythmic cycles and structure of Indian music.
All levels welcome. Please indicate your level when you register.
Drop-ins are accepted.
