In this tutorial, Dr. Kerry Kriger, founder of Bansuri Bliss, introduces the beautiful and profound raag Dhani, which uses a straightforward pentatonic scale. Dr. Kriger teaches alap in raag Dhani, which is relatively easy to play. Learn the fundamentals of scale and breath control on bansuri (transverse bamboo flute of northern India).
Dr. Kriger begins by explaining the significance of Dhani, which translates to wealth, and likens it to the Western blues scale in its emotional depth. Through a detailed step-by-step guide, he demonstrates how to play the five-note scale, emphasizing the importance of breath control, finger positioning, and the nuances of partially closed holes. The lesson covers the ascent and descent of the scale, highlighting critical notes and their serious tones, ensuring viewers can replicate the melodic patterns accurately.
Throughout the session, Dr. Kriger offers invaluable tips for maintaining a continuous outward breath to produce a steady and harmonious sound. He shares techniques for improvisation, including the "flash" and "wisp", to help players add personal touches to their performances. By the end of the video, you will have learned the Dhani scale and gained insights into playing Alap, a slow and expressive exploration of the Raga. This tutorial is perfect for both beginners and advanced players looking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of bansuri music.
