माझ्या "भारतीय रागदारी" या लेखमालेला प्रतिसाद देणार्‍या सर्वांना मन:पूर्वक धन्यवाद ! तीर्थरूपांच्या सततच्या बदल्यांमुळे माझी "संगीत साधना" थांबली.त्यामुळे आरतीने सांगीतल्याप्रमाणे भातखंडे गुरूजींकडून संगीताचे विशेष ज्ञान प्राप्त करू शकलो नाही.त्यामुळे माझे शिक्षक जसे बासरीवर बोटे फिरवायचे तशीच बोटे फिरवित गेलो.जो स्वर कानाला चांगला वाटला तो पुन्हा पुन्हा वाजवू लागलो.एवढेच माझे ज्ञान ! आता मात्र त्याचा "वैद्यकीय अभ्यास" सुरू केला आहे. त्याला Dopamine,Serotonin, Oxytocin असे नानाविध Neurotransmitter जबाबदार असतात असे आत्ताशी लक्षात येऊ लागले आहे.वेळ आली की सांगेन.सध्या केवळ "कानसेन" होण्यासाठी प्रयत्नशील आहे. त्यातून काय गवसले ? ते ऐका.

"The Traditional Notation System"

1.The traditional system begins notating at the far left of the sheet and provides rhythm markers to tell you what beat of the rhythm cycle pertains to which syllable of the composition.

2.The traditional system assumes that students are familiar with the basic rhythm patterns.

3.Given the information that the composition is in teentaal, one is expected to know that teentaal comprises four sections of four beats each, and that the first beat of the third section of this cycle is muted. 4.The rhythm markers in notation, therefore, are quite minimalist.

5.Three types of markers are used. A cross (x) indicates the first beat of the rhythm cycle (also called sam).

6.A small circle (o) denotes a muted beat (in the case of teentaal, this is the first beat of section 3). If a section is neither the first section, nor starts with a muted beat, it is simply denoted by the section number.

7.The "melody" is notated using the solfa syllables of the notes and a few other symbols.

8.Flat versions of notes (not featured in this particular example) are shown by an underline.

9.A sharp is denoted by a vertical line above the note.

10.If a note belongs to the octave above or below the main octave, a dot is placed above or below the note.

11.A hyphen indicates that the previous note is to be elongated. 12.When two notes need to be sung within the space of a single beat, they are joined underneath by a curved line.

13.The lyrics are written in the middle row, syllable by syllable, to show what syllable must be sung to what note(s) and at which beat.

14.A symbol resembling a large "S" is used to indicate that a syllable must be elongated or sustained for the beat(s) in question.
