Hindu Musical Traditions also called Shastriya Sangeet traditions are ancient and diverse. But they have a common foundation based on 'Raga' and 'Tala' that is rooted in a unique Spiritual Cosmology. 
 
In this Webinar, we will introduce the theoretical foundations of the world of Ragas and Talas, and set up the framework for a deeper cultural immersion, involving guided listening experiences. It will also introduce the course coming up in the Winter Quarter, which will explore the classical origins of Hindu musical forms, their theoretical foundations, pedagogy and the development of Indian music. 
 
Speaker: Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran
