Studying kanjira and morsing with Balakumar Paramalingam is an incredible experience! Balakumar is full of ideas and tailors each lesson to my curiosity and interests, introducing me to the fascinating world of Carnatic music. He applies the rhythmic grammar and typical phrases of South India with precision, while explaining key concepts such as Korvai, Mora, Koraippu, and the rhythms unique to different styles and artists. His approach is both simple and highly effective. I highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of percussion and enrich their musical practice with authentic elements of Carnatic tradition.

Taking konnakol lessons with Balakumar Paramalingam has been a transformative experience for my drumming. As a passionate teacher and a master of Carnatic rhythmic tradition, Balakumar makes an intricate and rich musical world accessible, opening new horizons for musicians of all backgrounds. His lessons have helped me develop rhythmic precision and fluidity, which have significantly enhanced my playing. Through konnakol, I’ve learned to integrate Indian rhythmic cycles, sophisticated subdivisions, and a unique phrasing approach, which I now apply with ease in my music. His teaching has strengthened not only my auditory memory but also my sense of rhythm, allowing me to structure my improvisations more effectively and explore new rhythmic patterns. Balakumar’s teaching is precise, generous, and perfectly tailored to the needs of contemporary musicians. I highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to expand their rhythmic vocabulary and gain a deeper understanding of Carnatic rhythms.
