Hi!

For the first time, I learning a composition set to Khanda Chapu (Periyasamy Thooran's "Thaye Tripura Sundari"). To get used to Khanda Chapu, I put the thalam while I listen to singers like Sudha Raghunathan sing "Thaye Tripura Sundari".

I keep in mind that Khanda Chapu is a 5 beat tempo, but it's really hard for me to maintain the tempo AND sing at the same time, because in the middle I frequently lose the tempo and have to catch up with the beat. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could improve my Khanda Chapu?

Thanks!

First you could try practicing the alankaram in khaNDa CApu in 3 speeds. This will doubtless help you keep the tAlA with more confidence. Good luck and keep us posted if this helps [or doesn't :-)]!!!
