In this special master class, Ustad Tari Khan will focus on chand, types of ‘groove’ or phrasing in musics of the Indian subcontinent. He will lead the participants through a series of interactive exercises that will aid them in “owning” these structures. He also will demonstrate, first with tabla students and then with members of the Sangeet Millennium Ensemble, the process of teaching chand in both traditional and world music contexts.

This workshop is a a rare opportunity for instrumentalists, vocalists and singer-songwriters, and percussionists interested in world music, as well as those who practice the music of South Asia.

Daren Appelt makes his house in the Far West area of Austin available for a wide range of acoustic music performances. It is a wonderful space to enjoy great music.
