KKSongs Khol Guide
(Portuguese translation by Sri David Britto prabhu from Brazil)
Welcome to the KKSongs Khol Guide. Ever since the first mridanga
class of Spring 2006 took place, mridanga
handouts and recordings associated have not only assisted the class students,
but also assisted music enthusiasts and students outside of class. In attempts
to keep class materials separate from our kind web visitors, the pages are
being redone in order to allow a more suitable presentation.

follows Bengali standards, NOT North Indian standards. While the spirit is very
similar, the terminology and presentation is greatly different.

off of the KKSongs Khol
Curriculum with some extra prakars and useful
