Kaida Teen Taal

Here is another Kaida in Teen Taal.
This is a famous Punjab Gharana Kaida.
Every Player of Punjab gharana plays a version of this Kaida. This particular version is Ustad Alla Rakha’s.
I have written 5 simple Paltas below the Kaida. Try these and make some of your own.

Ustad Zakir Hussain
Kaida

Paltas: Play each palta multiple times, eventually preparing them x1, x2 and x4

Each paltas has been stretched to two lines:

There are many combination boles in this kaida. Here are the first 8 beats separated and written in half time:

Dha – Te Re, Ke Te Ti Ke, Te Re Ke Ti, Dhin – Na -, Ge – Na -, Dha – Ge -, Tin – Na -, Ke – Na -,

Make five more Paltas by altering and mixing the phrases and practice them on your palm. Memorize the boles before practicing on Tabla.

Hello everybody I used to play tabla before but I play less nowadays. I’ve got some composition I can share for example easy Titkit in teentaal,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
dhati dhage nadha titkit dhati dhage tinNa kina

9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
tati take nata titkit dhati dhage dhinNa gina.

If you keep practicing this eveyday you will notice the power you will have on your finger until the sound is clear and perfect…good luck
