Best in the series!!! Loved it! And I feel like listening to Prince Rama varma... Delightful and insightful just like him.
amrutha .I’m a woman of ur age . I play veena . not much sadhana like you .. I love music . so you ❤. super advice to all the students .
A beautiful & useful video. She is a vast store-house of Carnatic music. I thank her for her extensive light on music
This is so amazing. I definitely feel like hearing more from Amrutha Akka. She always shares wonderful insights to the listener. Her unique ability to be a stunning performer and superb teacher is appluadable.
Pure Gold from Amrutha! So much weight in every point that she makes and each of the singing segments is worth it's weight in gold. The clarity of just the small phrase in Dhanyasi, the voice modulation and the grip, was absolutely stunning! If more people sang with this level of perfection and refined sense of aesthetics,
Carnatic vocal music will surely get the same level of international appeal that Carnatic instrumental and Hindustani music get. God bless you Amrutha and I hope you will continue to scale greater and greater heights.
Amazing talent and achievements and very much down to earth. Very rare these days. Extremely impressive. I attended one great concert at the SSVT in Washington DC area and hope she comes back soon.
Very well articulated and covered all key aspects in a clear and crisp manner. Nice to listen to how family and different gurus have influenced your growth in this field. Have watched your teaching sessions and they are indeed very detailed and thorough. Thank you for sharing, this is certainly very useful for music students and those aspiring to grow in the carnatic music field. It also gives common listeners a glimpse of how much effort and practice is needed to achieve perfection.. Best wishes 🙏🙏
