Learn Ghosh Step by Step
Guidelines for Rachanas:
| two lines (ll) | represent the beginning and the end of a line |
| one line (l) | represent beats, markings after every set of beats…for example in dwajaropanam, each set has 3 swaras in it…therefore after every three swaras, there is this marking |
| colon (:) | at the end of line if there is this colon, that means that line has to be repeated (from ll to ll) |
| dash (-) | a dash mark means that there should be no sound at that point, it will be silent |
| comma (,) | the same swara as before the comma should continue at that spot |
| accent marks | accent marks on top of the swaras means that it is the high sounding swara, if the accent mark is on the bottom then it is the low sounding swara…for example, Ņ in dwajaropanam is the low Ni |
The first line with colon in it, ll ……….. :ll , always has to be repeated at the end, after the last line for all rachanas (except the dwajaropanam)
These symbols and guidelines apply for all rachanas…..

Preparing for your gana
Materials
Concepts/Background
The sharika, just like books, calculators, and cars, are to be respected. Make sure your shikshartis (students) understand this, and remind them everytime they disrespect their sharikas.
When marching, the anak is on the left side. So, make sure your shikshartis are sitting with legs folded and back straight, tapping their sharikas on their left side. Keeping your back straight prepares you for marching while carrying the heavy drum. Once appropriate, ask your shikshartis to look straight in front of them while playing to their left. Often, we tend to play too quickly, always monitor your shiksharti’s speed. It is very difficult to change the habit of playing too fast after long time, so make sure they get it right from beginning.
Practice is very much essential to the efficiency of each lesson. Most of the time, shikshartis go home and practice without being told, but there are always those who require little more reminding. Make sure your sessions are not too long, and make sure the shikshartis are having FUN! Otherwise, they tend not to practice!
