Introduction to the 12 notes

Insightful talk given by Prince Rama Varma about the twelve notes in a scale before teaching the famous English Note (composed by Harikesanallur Muthaiah Bhagavatar
and popularized by Madurai Mani Iyer) to students at the Swara Sadhana Two Day Music
Camp organized at Chennai in February 2014.

Doe a Deer from Sound of Music and Kamakshi Swarajati in Bhairavi in the same clipping! Who else but Varmaji can traverse different genres of music with the greatest of ease like this and casually offer the most amazing and valuable insights into music too? The service that these videos do is immeasurable! God bless you, Varmaji and thanks a million times, dear Musiquebox!

[@anandrkashyab]

It felt like 5 mins listening to this. Didn't realise 24 mins were gone. God he is so engaging! Wealth of knowledge!!!

[@GururajBN]

So enlightening for someone not trained in music but enjoys music. Thank you sir!

[@krishnavasudev2155]

Oh my God! Such a blessed life his is! Sings amazingly

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

thank you very much, I am so lucky to have found this, we desperately need this in the western world where the ear and musical mind training is lacking and very weak, they dont sing the notes just play instruments.

Prince, You are amazing. I want to be like you at my music. Your music must be taught as a subject in all Indian syllabus based schools, compulsorily. We are in need of it.

[@tanmayjoshi108]

At 6:33, Varma ji mentions "Rakti ragas". Can someone please tell more about this term?

[@musiquebox]

I forwarded your comment to Varma ji and he sent me this now "The term literally means Ragas with a lot of emotion and aesthetic sense, but I personally find many other Ragas having that too. While we have ragas like Mohanam/Bhopali, Hindolam/Malkauns which use the same scales both in Hindustani and Carnatic music, the ragas usually classified as Rakti ragas, don't have Hindustani equivalent and very few people outside Carnatic music manage to do complete justice to them, with a few exceptions of course. Sahana, Kedaragowla, Anandabhairavi, Punnagavarali, Suruti, Neelambari, Devagandhari, would be some examples of Rakti ragas."

[@tanmayjoshi108]

@@musiquebox thank you so much for the reply.

[@vishnuponnappan6135]

Sir, Thank you for all your lessons. This is really helping a lot.
For improving the swara njana and also to sing the 12 notes correctly, do you recommend any daily exercise we can follow ?
Also any recommended ways to check how we are doing with identifying the notes correctly.
Thanks again for all the lessons.
