Put the wings at your vocal rhythm thanks to the Konnakol style
T
are you ever found to reflect on your path as a singer on the importance of rhythmic solfeggio?
I personally at the beginning I had no clear purpose I have to tell you the truth, when I took Solfeggio lessons and the teacher put a rhythmic score in front of us, the question took place inside me: but what is all this, if I play for Example a tool like clarinet?
Well years later, I understood that the study of the rhythm within the sung vocal practice, allows me to be more incisive, creative and dissolved when for example sudden.
We come to us, on how we can integrate the rhythm within our voice, exploring the various forms of learning in the world.
First of all, not to stop at the sole understanding of our traditional rhythmic solfeggio, but also seek in other cultures, because surely you will be amazed by the variety of learning strategies, and how the rhythm can be linked to the history of a continent, nation or city.
Today I would like to bring you to the world of Konnakol, one of the forms of expression and vocal rhythmic study from India.
Konnakol is a vocal-rhythmic technique linked to the carnatic musical tradition (south of India) which I dare to define a universal rhythmic language, in which the use of well-defined syllables, linked by a precise rhythmic succession, allows you to build a unique performative art in the world.
As far as I am concerned, the self -taught study of this practice allowed me to amplify my sang vocal sillabic background, allowing me to understand rhythmic successions of the mold, totally different from those of the European mold.
What resources I found on the web to understand the Konnakol?
As a first resource I am attaching below a course well structured by ASAF Sirkis Israeli percussionist who has included a course of 46 lessons lasting 15 minutes on YouTube.
I could practically defend this "magnificent" channel.
