Sir can carnatic violin be played while standing or just in the sitting posture?
Asked by Amrithavarshini S Last Modified
Answer Carnatic violin is traditionally played in a seated posture. The musician typically sits cross-legged on the floor, with the scroll of the violin resting on the ankle or thigh of the left foot. This position allows for stability and control over the instrument while playing intricate melodies.
However, it's essential to note that there is room for variation and adaptation in musical performance. In contemporary settings, some Carnatic violinists may choose to perform while standing, especially in collaborative or fusion contexts. The decision to play while standing or sitting often depends on the musician's personal preference, the specific musical context, and the requirements of the performance.
In traditional Carnatic concerts and classical settings, the seated posture is still the norm. It provides a stable and comfortable position for the musician to execute the nuanced techniques required in Carnatic violin playing. If you're learning Carnatic violin, it's advisable to initially practice in the traditional seated posture and, if necessary, explore standing postures as you gain more experience and confidence in your playing.
