Taal or rhythm plays very important role in performing Classical Music. Our Music is well known for systematic combination of “Laya” or tempo along with the “Taal” or rhythm and Tempo with rhythm is the speciality of Indian Classical Music.
Swar and Taal are two indispensable Organs of Music. They are independent in their own merit but still inseparable and complimentary to each other. A performer is a complete performer when he plays serene Music with apt accompaniment of Taal & Layakari (i.e. Rhythm) In short; there is divine experience of Music when and only when the tune and the rhythm go well together.
Hence the rhythm keeps a very indispensable position in Music. Music shall always be incomplete without rhythm or Taal.
