Welcome to "Flute Step by Step," an exhaustive educational journey designed to transform beginners into adept flute players. Spanning over 8 hours and 20 minutes, this comprehensive course resides in the Instruments and Vocal category, specifically tailored for the flute subcategory. Whether you're new to playing the flute or looking to refine your skills, this course will guide you meticulously through each essential step.
The course kicks off with an introductory lesson on how to start playing the flute or Bansuri. This beginner’s tutorial ensures that learners grasp the fundamental techniques from the very beginning. As the lessons progress, you’ll delve into mastering the lower and higher octaves, which are crucial for versatile flute play.
Soon, you’ll be introduced to playing the 'Saptak' (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni) on the flute. This foundation is critical for understanding the different notes and their applications in music. Further, you’ll learn to play the flute with the Tanpura, balancing the note ‘Pa’, and also the art of balancing ‘Sa’ while playing in rhythm. Developing your rhythmic precision is key, and practicing Sargam (a form of vocal exercise) in rhythm will significantly enhance your timing and musicality.
As you progress, you’ll learn to integrate Sargam practices with different rhythms, such as Dadra taal, Rupak, and Jhaptal. You’ll also be introduced to various rhythmic patterns played on the Tabla and how to synchronize them with your flute. Techniques like Meend and Gamak will be taught, which are expressive ornamentations that add depth to your flute playing. Additionally, you'll get valuable insights on using the tongue effectively and practicing various strokes.
The course also covers nuanced subjects like playing half notes, Komal (flat), and Tivra (sharp) Swar. There's even a dedicated lesson on how to choose the right flute for your needs, discussing different scales and their unique characteristics.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to learning and performing various Ragas. You’ll receive an introduction to Ragas with a deep dive into specific ones, including Bilawal, Bhupali, Khamaj, and Yaman. Each Raga is taught in multiple parts, ensuring you grasp their intricacies. These sections include learning bandishes (compositions), jod (development in performance), and jhala (fast-paced end part), among others.
Finally, explore melodious Dhuns like Bhatiali and Pahadi, which are folk tunes that enhance your musical repertoire. The course concludes with a stunning performance of Raag Mishra Pahadi by Pravin Godkhindi, offering inspiration and a benchmark of excellence to aspire to.
