Bio

Konnakkol, the ancient rhythmic art form of South India, is an oral tradition that combines syllabic vocalization with complex rhythmic structures, offering musicians a profound understanding of rhythm and timing. In this session, participants will experience Konnakkol through an engaging 5-minute performance, followed by an introduction to its core principles and its many benefits for musicians and educators alike.

As a Western musician who has learned Konnakkol as a second rhythmic language, I bring a unique perspective to how this tradition complements Western music education. I will share insights from my journey, discussing how Konnakkol challenged and enriched my rhythmic perception and how its principles can be translated to enhance Western music education.

Ana is a member of NSRMTA, a certified Konnakkol teacher, and a music educator specializing in world music pedagogies. With a background in music therapy, pedagogy, and performance, she integrates global traditions into innovative teaching methods, using storytelling and imagination as powerful tools to inspire and educate.
