KKSongs Khol Guide
(Portuguese
translation by Sri David Britto prabhu
from Brazil)
Welcome
to the KKSongs Khol Guide.
Ever since the first mridanga class of Spring 2006 took place, mridanga
handouts and recordings associated have not only assisted the class students,
but also assisted music enthusiasts and students outside of class. In attempts
to keep class materials separate from our kind web visitors, the pages are
being redone in order to allow a more suitable presentation.

Lessons have been renumbered. The Audio Files have to be
rerecorded to account for the renumbering and reformatting.
The Accompaniment section is going to be redone, as
practice exercises.
