I've noticed the instrument many Carnatic violinists play appears too large to be a violin. Does anyone know if they're actually using violas?

Hi, looking to learn Carnatic vocals. I'm a total beginner.

Also, I won't be able to afford expensive classes. I've reached out to many teachers on Instagram and all of them are charging INR 3000-5000 per month.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a Carnatic music teacher who offers offline classes near Puthencruz, Kochi. I learned Carnatic music for almost 10 years during my school days and would love to restart my practice.

Any recommendations or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 😊

Recently moved to Bangalore. Wanted to know if there are any gatherings, meet-ups, communities or any channel to get updates regarding the concerts/ performances in the City.

Hello everyone!

I am a Carnatic Vocal teacher with nearly 3 years of teaching experience and 13+ years of learning experience. I have completed my Bachelor's degree in Music (Carnatic Vocal), hold music qualifications, and am currently pursuing my MA in Carnatic Vocal. I also have Grade 5 certification in Western Vocal.

I am looking for a fully online, part-time teaching position with a music academy that offers a fixed monthly salary rather than payment based on student enrolments or retention.

- Availability: Monday to Saturday, 3–4 hours per day

- Expected salary: Around ₹15,000 per month

- Preferred mode: Fully online

- Subjects: Carnatic Vocal; open to suitable Western Vocal teaching opportunities as well

If you know any music academies hiring teachers on a fixed-pay basis, or have any relevant referrals, please let me know. I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you.

Hey guyss. Do you name your instruments ?

Personally I do like to have a name for mine. I was thinking to put some nice feminine name for my violin.

What is the name of your instruments ? If you don't have one already, what would you wanna name it ?

I was thinking of these:

- vaaditra= musical instrument;

- anurati = love;

- abhirami = one who is attractive in each and every moment of time

Do you guys have any suggestions?

If you are looking to list your event, pls reach out to us.

Happy to list. Kindly dm for WhatsApp/Instagram community links.

basically just the title… I’ve only been a student for a short time so my repertoire isn’t very much but I was curious to know your favorites to perform during navarathri :))

There have been many threads on the Pancharatna kritis, but what about this other famous "pancha" set? :-)

These are the songs, in the order I'm familiar with (from the DKJ recording):

1. cintaya mAkanda in bhairavi
   
2. jambUpatE in yamunakalyANi
   
3. aruNAcalanAtham in sAranga
   
4. shrI kALahastIsha in husEni
   
5. anandha naTana prakaasham in kEdAram
   

Hello everyone!

My friend and I are 30 F, with several years of Carnatic vocal training until our teen years.

What is the best way to start learning the veena in a serious manner, from scratch?

What is the best way to go about it in Chennai and Bengaluru?

Do teachers offer certifications? Are there any exams? How many hours in person per week is recommended apart from a 9-5? Is it better to join an institution?

Please share anything that you know. Thank you!

Namaste everyone! 🙏

One thing I've often thought about is how people who love Bharatanatyam manage to continue learning when they don't have access to a teacher nearby or have to take a break for personal reasons.

Sometimes, even when the interest is still there, finding the time and the right guidance can be difficult.

As someone who has spent many years learning, practising, and teaching Bharatanatyam, I'd love to hear your experiences.

For those who are learning Bharatanatyam, or have always wanted to learn, what do you find most challenging? Is it finding a teacher, maintaining a regular practice, or getting the opportunity to learn from wherever you live?

I've also been exploring ways to make learning Bharatanatyam more accessible through individual online sessions, and I'd be interested to hear what people think about learning this way. 🌼

In the 2014-2017 Tamil TV Series a song occurred sung by Tirukkachchi Nambi character.
ஆரா அமுதே அடியேன் உடலம் பாசுரம் Anyone know in which episode this song is featured? Thanks for help!

Looking to learn carnatic music as a 29 year old. I'm a complete beginner who is a music lover. Any teachers in and around R.R Nagar who can teach on Saturday/ Sunday mornings?

Hello, guys! I am a classical vocalist. The main purpose of this server is to sing and play instruments on the server's VC and share feedback, thereby gaining more knowledge of and a better grip on our singing/playing technique.

People joining this server MUST contribute either vocally or by playing instruments. Music sessions will be held on weekends and at other times when the majority of the people on the server are willing to attend. Joining the server, sharing music video links, or engaging in conversations about music or musicians will not be enough. Members' activity will be noted, and inactive people who join just to listen or chat will be removed.

I wanted to enforce this particular rule because, in the servers I have seen and been in before, people just talk and talk about music, but no one actually sings. That's why I wanted to create a different server where people are actually vocal, rather than one built around chat or listening sessions. This doesn't mean the server won't have any listening sessions or channels for people to chat about and discuss music; it's just that listening to music videos together won't be our top priority or our most frequent activity.

I’ve just created the server a moment ago, here is the server link: https://discord.gg/9H67pVBUf

Here’s to having a good time sharing our knowledge through singing and playing!

Hey peeps and music lovers, I want to learn Carnatic music right from Sarali Versai and looking for a music teacher for that. I live in the US and in the EST time zone. I prefer teachers who can teach on Friday evenings, Saturdays or Sundays any time which works for EST time zone. Thank you so much.

A common friend of mine sent me the recording (see video attached). We have a very small clip of someone singing few lines. I have never heard this Krithi, but I really love this.

As far as I can recognise, the lyric (somewhat) goes like..

"Hariya dharthi Kaapiyam.."

I'm guessing this is not a very famous composition. Must be a niche one. In case if anyone can recognise this, please let me kmow. I would be more than grateful and that would help me learn this beautiful composition.

TIA :)
