Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Prarambhik SyllabusAkhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Prarambhik SyllabusBeat (/‘Matra’)Focal point / ‘Sam’Beat /’Matra’ may be defined in alternative ways, as follows:The yardstick to measure the time-cycle, is labeled as a beat/’matra.’The time taken to utter one ‘varna.’ In short, a beat / ‘matra’means a part. Therefore, the beat / ‘matra’ is the smallest wholeunit of the time-cycle.The first beat of the time-cycle is known as the focal point orthe ‘Sam.’ In brief, ‘Sam’ is the beginning. Barring controversyas regards “Rupak,” the first beat, of that division of the timecycle, which has a maximum “Bhari” or content, amongst thedivisions with “Bhari”, is known as the focal point / ‘Sam.’‘Taali’Time-cycle / ‘Taal’In order to exhibit the starting-beat of the ‘Bhari’ / “weightfilled”divisions, the action that is performed at the beginning ofthat division, is called “Taali.”The term ‘Taal’ has originated from the Sanskrit word, “Tal.”It also hints at “kartal” which implies clapping with the hands.Thus when “kartal” strike against each other, it is“Taal.”However, a more complete and perfect definition is “thatin which the song, the instrument and the dance have beenstably established, is ‘Taal.’KhaaliNormally, the beat immediately after half the total number ofbeats in a time-cycle, is termed as “Khaali.” However, thisdefinition does not hold for all the time-cycles. The Hindi word,‘Khaali’ means “hollow,”“empty,” (vacant). The starting-beat ofthe “Bhari-less” division of the time-cycle is the com7844 McClellan Road Cupertino CA 95014 408-792-70147844 McClellan Road Cupertino CA 95014 408-792-7014
