    unni,
    a variation of this lesson is:

    na thin thin na
    kita thaka thin thin na
    naka thin thin na
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu

    (played twice over)

    na thin thin na
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu
    naka thin thin na
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu

    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu thom
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu thom
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu thom


    alternatively, substitute the
    tha kita thom kita thaka thith thalangu

    with

    thin tha thalangu thina thina thalangu

    for more variety!

    Hello, Idiappam, here is this humble morsing player who knows little beyond samam edipu adi talam lessons... ...

    If you guys would obey two small rules of notation as taught by my guruji (and others), things would becom much easier!

    first: PLEASE, include the intervals (karvais) denoted by comma ,
    second: underline double-speed phrases

    Unni: Thalangu is not three counts it is four. It is an exception to my rule No 1 that would have it written thalan,gu. Now you should be able to count it right.

    I wish I had your attitude to learning: you will be a great student! Don't try to run and don't ask for all the explanations all at once!

    Thani avartanam is the percussion solo section played by the mridangist and others during a carnatic concert.

    Don't try to play too fast either: it is the sound of this beautiful instrument that matters! But tghen who am I to talk? I have barely practised this year...

    I have been learning for a long time, but I call myself 2nd-year student because I hardly ever practice. I have interest in the music, but I am not working towards being a pro player.

    I play morsing with student groups in UK, and occasionally more senior people --- I have played at two dance arangetrams here. You may even occasionally see me on Sri Lankan Tamil TV --- I once cam across a man from Russia who said, "I know you, I've seen you on television"!

    My guruji is so generous with his knowledge that I have picked up many bits of information about mridangam that are not commonly known, but my memory and practice for playing is not good.

    Still I love Carnatic music, and I joined class to have more understanding, not to be a player. That I have been on stage so much still amazes me!
