Carnatic Music

[Guest guest]

This is in continuation of my previous email.

Prof. Shivkumar Kalyanaraman has, in his web-site, requested for a

feed-back which I reproduce below with a request to members to write

to him not only appreciation but also suggestions: His email address

is: shivkuma (AT) ecse (DOT) rpi.edu

Kindly email me your feedback. I have received several kind notes of

appreciation and I am as always thrilled to receive them.

The primary motivating forces behind this work are my parents Smt.

Geetha and Shri. K. Kalyanaraman and my gurus Shri Peri Sriramamurthy

(Hyderabad), Smt. T. Rukmini (Chennai), Shri. B.R.C. Iyengar

(Secunderabad) and late Shri. M.N. Subramanyam (Chennai) . If

possible, please also mention your feedback to them through email or

in person if you happen to meet them.

I am constantly trying to improve these resources both in format and

content. I would appreciate your thoughts on how it could better

address your needs. Please let me know if you are:

* a rasika interested in understanding the music (which level?: either

basics or advanced topics) or * an aspiring or active music student

(which level?: beginner, basics/geethams, varnams, krithis,

alapana/swarakalpana etc).

What kind of material would help you achieve your goals? How far do

the current web sites go in terms of helping you get there?

You wont believe it, but your feedback has helped me shape most of the

aspects and content of these web pages! Here is a sense of some

projects I have done or am doing based upon past feedback: added MP3

files; started the audio classes in addition to just the song

versions; added varnams and geethams and recently

alapana/neraval/swarakalpana (manodharma) pages. I am experimenting

with classes and meanings of some famous slokas (vishnu sahasranamam

etc). I am working on a page that provides basic lessons

(sarali/janta etc), and on a joint project with Ramesh Mahadevan on a

"gentle intro" to carnatic music for indian light music fans.

Usually my method is to identify the greatest possible benefit (with

your feedback), and then search for the fastest and most convenient

way for me to do it (else it will just consume time without valuable

and consistent output).
