Practice Technique 2

Example is for Raag Bhoopali - you can convert it to work for any Raag

Play the following notes:

S R
S R G
S R G P
S R G P D
S R G P D S.
 
S. D
S. D P
S. D P G
S. D P G R
S. D P G R S


First play 1 bow per note.
After a while, try 1 bow per line - as written above.

Try to keep a constant tempo - I find this very tough to do

Practice Technique

Try this combination of notes

Memorize this pattern - and use it for practising any Raag.

This is example will be For Raag Kalyaan (Yaman)

.N R G .N G R .N R G .N R .N G R .N

(N = low ni)

Then use the same pattern and go up along the aroh 

R G m R m G R G m R G R m G R
(m = ma tivar )

etc.

Try bowing one note at a time
then two notes with one bow
then three notes with one bow
until you can do the whole sequence with one bow

keep a constant speed.

Try - and please post links to your videos as comments. So everyone can check out and help point out how to improve.
