Indian Classical - Taal Workshop By Shri Vinayak Prabhu sir at Kalashri Sangeet Vidyalaya Mulund

On Sunday May 13th 2018, Mother's day, I attended the mother of all workshops, called Indian Classical Taal Workshop.


This was organized by Shri Abhay Bhide sir, from Kalashri Sangeet Vidyalaya Mulund West, and he had invited his Guru: shri Vinayak Prabhu from Goregaon, to conduct this workshop.


The venue was our class in Mulund West and the timings were from 5:00 to 8:00 PM
We started with a Tea session, where we introduced eachother to Vinayak Sir. Vinayak sir came along with is two students, Omkar and Vishal.


Vishal plays tabla and also is a very good accompanist.


After the tea session the workshop session began.
The first question was asked by Ms. Vaishali Sathe . She asked:
1. How to perfect the Taal , while singing a bandish.


Vinayak sir first told her to sing a bandish. She started with Raag Bhupali (Bhup) bandish.
"Lakh chabi sawariya ki"


And the entire taal mahiti and the way to perfection of taal, and the description by Vinayak sir was fabulous.
He gave lot and lot of information how this can be done.
