    Although I have played the veena for many years, I am a novice when it comes to manodharma. I learned a little bit of alapana and kalpana swaram from my childhood guru just to know what each one means. These past few years I have been longing to learn more but did not know where to start. But over these past few months with your gentle guidance I have started to explore kalpana swarams with more confidence. In Nadaloludai I was able to build kalpana swarams beyond what you did - this is not something I would have dreamed of trying last year!!
    Alapana right now feels to me like a steep hill to climb - as you said in the video it seems daunting. I am hopeful that with your guidance I can make progress. So my heart is simply filled with gratitude as I watch this video for the guidance you provide. I am sure there are plenty of other vainikas like me around the world who appreciate everything you do.

      Yes Nimmy, I hope the fear for Manodharma will melt away by watching this two part series for many Vainikas out there. Thanks and best wishes

    Thank you for sharing. Very helpful. Not many teachers explain the creative concepts in a manner that people who are not naturally gifted with an inherent talent and flair for music, are also able to understand and acquire those skills. That is where many aspiring students are discouraged and tend to give up early.

    • @malaviswanathan

      Absolutely. Some very talented musicians drop off, because of the difficulty in understanding the complex stuff. I feel that the Carnatic music dynamics will have to simplified without diluting it''s essence, for such students.

    Thank you very nice, I always thought aalapana is very hard, you made it sound simple.

  • @phugoid
    @phugoid Рік тому +1

    Basic question: Are there rules or practices regarding the way an alapana is played have anything to do with the song that follows it? To explain myself, would a Bilahari alapana differ based on whether you wish to play Toli Janma or Paridanamichite or Na Jivadhara later? My guess is that since it has nothing to do with tala or sahitya, the alapana is sort of standalone and regardless of the subsequent gita

    • @malaviswanathan
      @malaviswanathan  Рік тому +1

      Apart from understanding and playing a Raga through it's Grammar, the song that is to be played also plays a role to an extent. Picking up some nuances from the Krithi and highlighting phrases in the Alaapana, will make it apt for the take off. Alaapana therefore need not be stand alone

    I have no interest at all in music but loved this clip somehow. Is there a video where you explain the various terms you've used with the natural assumption that the viewer would've known - shajjamam, madhya stayi, etc.?
    Ta for this lovely video

    • @malaviswanathan
      @malaviswanathan  Рік тому +2

      All these terms come during the process of learning. I would suggest if you are interested, to take a peek at my watch and play series, where I have used these terms time and again. Thanks for writing in.

    Vatapi ganapatim now. So it is more useful to learn alapana also. Mam your blending of kapi andDesh was so. beautiful ❤️. I would like to learn it I have started it I am. very doubtful. about the video and the notation given in the description box. Must be. my mista ke. Could you please sing the swaras. Please mam.

      In kapi and Desh the major difference is happening in the Gandharam. Where I have given g play G2 or sadhrana Gandharam and wherever it is G , play antara Gandharam
