IdentityI am a Carnatic Violinist, vocalist and fusion artist from Kerala.
Although being a good violinist doesn't mean being a good violin teacher,It is very easy to learn Carnatic violin if we learn it systematically.
1. Bowing is the first step of learning Violin.
2. Then we deal with the 4 strings.
3. After handling the bow we learn to play the 7 SWARAS(notes) in strings, which is the second process.
The combination of proper bowing and string fingering is called music of Violin.
4. After learning the SWARAS we practice them in different orders and tempos called VARISA(s).
5. By the proper practice of different VARISAS we can play any plane notes on violin.
6. The next lesson is to learn the GAMAKA(s), which are defined as the flow of notes from one SWARA to another. GAMAKA(s) make our music more beautiful.
7. The next lesson is GEETHAM(s), which are the basic compositions in Carnatic music.
8. By learning some basic GEETHAMS we are able to learn the VARNAM(s), which are the more advanced compositions.
9. VARNA(s) are the basic and complete profile of a RAGA and they are the gate to the advanced compositions named KEERTHANAS.
Like I above described, Carnatic vocal can learn systematically. Sapthaswaras(seven notes) Varisas,Geethams, Jathiswaras, Swarajathis, Varnas, Keerthanas, are through different Ragas(combination of notes which makes an individual colour for music).
I can communicate with English, Hindi and malayalam.
Carnatic music is a vast subject which can not be learned completely within a human lifetime.
Its all about our decision on where to start, where to reach and which way to chose.
So,Let's get started systematically.
Thank you
