Jal Tarang is one of the oldest instrument ever created by humans. In a Jal Tarang, different glass bowls are used with different levels of water to create a distinctive pitch in sound. Jal Tarang can be played either standing up or sitting down. All you need are a few bowls of water on a table, 21 or 15 to be precise. Then you can either strike the bowls with a steel bar or a wooden bar to produce sound. The idea is to hit at a low velocity. To tune a Jal Tarang is quite fun too. You need to spill a little water or to add a little water, in order to tune a Jal Tarang.

Basic Components of Western Music theory

  • Pitch:- Pitch can be defined as how high or how low a note gets. It is directly proportional to the frequency of a sound. Pitch of a sound is very particular and it cannot be matched, even by a similar sound produced by a different equipment.
  • Scales:- Scales came out as patterns in music which sensibly completes a music circle. A musical scale is made up of notes with a certain pattern to follow. For example, there are major scales in music which follows “Root Note-Tone-Tone-Semitone-Tone-Tone-Tone-Semitone” pattern. The last note of which again comes out to be the root note. There are a lot of other scales in music.
  • Consonance and Dissonance:- Pick a note on any musical instrument. There are a number of consonance and dissonance for a note within its own scales. Consonant notes sound complete when played together. Dissonant notes give a feeling of incompleteness.
  • Chord:- Chords can be defined as notes in a scale, which when played together, create a sensible sound. It can only be consonant notes or a combination of consonant and dissonant notes. For example, to play a major chord in any scale, you need to pick the first, third and fifth note from that scale. Play the selected notes together. You have got your chord.
