- Dive into the soulful realm of Indian mantra singing and unlock the power of sound. -
5x - startdate 14th of May, + following 4 weeks
This course is designed for musicians and mantra lovers and mantra facilitators. This is for people who have interest in the authentic fundamentals of Indian Mantra and Music. This 5 week program offers an opportunity to learn from Indian mantra practitioners from Varanasi India, rooted from their real daily practice. They will explore with you the sacred transformative power of Mantra.
We will delve into the rich heritage of Indian music, incorporating both theory and practice. It is recommended for participants to have a basic understanding of a musical scale, and be able to hold time and tunes, as we will be exploring the convergence of Eastern and Western musical concepts.
We will explore the intricate arts with authentic Sanskrit Indian mantra singing. But not to worry; you will be guided by experienced and well educated musical facilitators (with university degree in music). Beside their musical knowledge, they have a deep devotional passion for their Indian culture, and especially that of a musical nature.
It goes without saying that you will have the chance to explore your own vocal abilities and enhance your skills with your chosen instrument.
The program will cover essential components, such as learning the most important Taats (Indian scales) and Indian rhythm patterns. Additionally, we will gain a comprehensive understanding of different notes and their significance within the musical framework. As part of the training, we will familiarize ourselves with the IShala tanpura and Tabla app, available on smartphones, which serves as an invaluable guide. Furthermore, participants will gain hands-on experience in playing the Harmonium, and Tanpuri, a traditional Indian musical instrument.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
* You will learn at least 5 fundamental Mantra’s/ Japa’s, their interpretation, use, and the meaning of the Sanskrit words.
