Vishwamohini Script

1. Nikas (Tonal quality of notes or strokes) : We feel different musical experience for same composition, when it is played by different artists, why? It is the tonal qualities of strokes which give such different musical experiences to listeners. Ability of creating clear, controlled & balanced musical tone is a first step to become a performing artist. This can be achieved only by consistent riyaz under guidance of Guru.

2. Calculation : Its pleasure when a composition or a tihai comes on Sum (First beat of taal). But are you sure that composition was also mathematically correct. Many times I heard conversation from students like "hey, do you remember the tihai of taal xyz?". Is it really difficult to compose a tihai in any taal?. To improve the implementation of your knowledge one need to master basic calculations. This will surely help you to improvise any taal even if you donâ€™t know any composition of taal.

3. Combination : Combination is the key to create better musical experience. Combinations can be further divided in two streams i.e. 
1. Combination of notes/strokes and 
2. Combination of calculations.

More your ability to play different combinations of notes, more enhanced musical experience you can create. Combinations of calculations will provide mathematically correct base for your combinations of notes. But there is certain time to study these things, if you are beginner, then you must concentrate only on Nikas i.e. riyaz to master various compositions taught by your Guru. Because you can not perform better though you are master of combinations & calculations, you must be master of instrument to implement calculations & combinations.
