Indian riyaz · Intermediate · Indian classical
Janta varisai 2
Pairs of swaras in four-note groups that climb one step at a time, then come back down. Every swara is struck twice, so a slide shows at once.
How to do it
- Two of each: sa sa ri ri ga ga ma ma, then ri ri ga ga ma ma pa pa…
- The second of each pair gets a small push.
- Mirror it down from the upper Sa.
Remember Two clean taps, no slide.
