Lesson 20: Example 6

The teaching point of this example is how to transition between double time down to single time (drut laya to madhya laya).

Play two cycles of drut kaherva tala, followed by a mukhra 1, and level off to madhya lay kaherva theka for four cycles.

Two cycles of drut kaherva tala is straightforward.

Just like Example 5, after the drut kaherva cycles are completed, then one makes the transition to madhya lay by using the eight matra mukhra 1. Then kaherva tala is played at madhya lay tempo.

Because drut kaherva is played in double time, it is equivalent to four beats of single time. Therefore, two cycles of drut kaherva is equivalent two eight beats (as shown below using the bold blue script).

Mukhra 1 is eight beats. This is played in madhya lay.

Then eight cycles of kaherva tāla.
