tambura

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

I have been using a tambura to help me with the beat while chanting Sharangata Deenaarta and a few others (yeh Devi etc).

Is this okay? or should I just use the breath.

 

I have started on the Chandi now and are loving it.

 

Blessings in Love

Namaste Brindavanshakti,

 

You are using a tambura to help you keep the rhythm?

Do you mean the key/pitch? Because I thought normally

tambura is used to keep your pitch or tonality even

and pure, and is not normally used as a rhythmic

device (though it does alternate between two notes Sa

and PA in a way that could be perceived as rhythmic.

In any case, I can't answer if it's okay, but I know

Maa uses a drone on her recordings at times. And when

I was learning Carnatic music, we always practice with

a drone. I have kept this practice up. I use only

special notes tuned to the oscillation of the Earth's

magnetic field. Yes it may sound ridiculously new age.

However, this frequency helps me keep my voice in tune

and I like to do pujas and homas with the drone too.

Jai Maa, Jai Swami
