• Clear, step-by-step exercises and theory connect tradition with real-world improvisation and composition
• Find your “aha!” with tables, charts and easy look-up features—designed to help you count, sing, clap, and create (not just learn by rote!)

2. Volume 2: Progressive, original exercises in konnakol (including Adi Tala), polyrhythm, and the now-legendary “Tihai Tables” – praised by Pete Lockett for their practical lookup-system.
3. Volume 3: Complete hands-on ear training, integrating western notation, Sargam, raga concepts, and creative rhythmic exercises. Develop real fluency in Indian and Western systems—side by side.
