Dr. Kerry Kriger Teaches Indian Classical Music on Bamboo Flute
http://bansuribliss.com

In this video, Dr. Kerry Kriger plays his bansuri (bamboo flute) with Sa at F (Sa is 3 holes closed). Dr. Kriger teaches how to play murki, which is an important type of ornamentation to give a note more expression. He introduces the 7-note scale called Kalyan, which is used as the basis of Yaman, a very well-known evening raga (melody). He also introduces the use of the 7th hole to play teevra ma (the sharp 4th).

Here is the scale of Kalyan:
SRGMPDNS arohi (up)
SNDPMGRS avarohi (down)

S = Sa
R = Re
G = Ga
M = Teevra Ma
P = Pa
D = Dha
N = Ni
S = Sa (in this case high Sa, an octave above Sa)

Note that in handwritten notation, Teevra Ma is written differently. it is written as an M with a vertical bar like this | rising from its top, which cannot be easily replicated on a computer).
