MUSIC OF INDIA CLASS in Boulder
Opening the Voice with the Ancient Art of Raga
RAGA CLASS FALL SESSION:
10 weeks,
Mondays, 5:30pm (classes will run 1 to 1 1/2 hr)
Learn to open the voice with 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 way and increases musical understanding to a refined level. Vocal music is considered the foundation of all music in this tradition.
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 exercises, explanations of raga and Indian music styles, and practice in the rhythmic cycles and structure of Indian music.
All levels welcome. (The first class is optional for those with more experience since it will cover basic concepts and notation reading. Please plan to attend it if you are new to Indian ragas.) Classes will build upon each other so if at all possible it is recommended to attend the whole session.
