TM Krishna: In The Classroom - Part 1

As part of the FEA-curated KARNATIC MODERN II festival with TM Krishna, we had scheduled a session where an audience could have the rare opportunity to sit in on a classroom in progress and get a sneak peek into Krishna taking his senior students Vignesh Ishwar and Rithvik Raja through their paces.
In this segment, the first of a four-part special series, Krishna enlightens his students (and us) on the subtle nuances and intricacies of learning compositions.

[@karthikthiagarajan2331]

This video is a demonstration of the indispensable role a teacher plays in a student's life. No matter how many times we listen to a composition and try to self-learn, it is impossible to achieve the level of perfection that a teacher can bring out of us. A student doesn't just learn the technique of an art form from a teacher, he learns to believe in something other than his ego - his guru. And this submission to a guru is the weight that can balance one's pride and arrogance (vidya garvam) on the character-scale. Shri gurubhyo namaha!

The students are very lucky to have tmk as their guru.

[@dr.r.s.rengan3010]

Real treat... beauty of modern technology to help learn.
Thanks Shri.T M Krishna and the two good students

[@SudhaParimala247]

Woah! The students themselves are renowned musicians.

[@umaparameswaran1168]

We tend to sing with him
Super teaching
Am blessed

[@nageswari9267]

This class is a master piece. It would be very nice if someone could upload more classes of T.M.Krishna sir, which contain teaching krithis.

[@robins.joseph7312]

Great experience, to watch not only the teacher, but also the differences between the two students.

Thyagaraja's lyrical speciality of 'Sankshipta Ramayana'- Ramayana in capsule form; raga sanchari permeating the lyrics in melodic brilliance! Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer's masterly delineation is unfortunately lost but patanthara purity handed down by Sandhyavandanam Srinivasa Rao, MVI's disciple has become the 'golden' standard. SriPada Pinkapani Garu including the notated version of this masterpiece in his magnum opus book is a great attempt at sampradaya.

[@Ravi-UT]

Man, the bhairavi neraval phrases(bhaktajana kalpa...) by TMK were brilliant! The students have so much to learn.

[@swaminathans6124]

Namaste fantastic great teacher

[@satyam4125]

TM Krishna was coached this way by his Guru Late. Shri Seetharama Sharma.

[@naraynns]

Amazing guru ! Blessed sishyas

[@joyv54]

[@rathinavelsankaralingam2929]

Very.lucky to allmMusic lovers

[@sreedevidhawala]

Absolutely grand wonderful treat!!

[@srivathsa2771]

Lovely to watch great music knowledge transferred from guru to shisyas.

[@shashidharsubramanya3999]

Beautiful concept. Great execution. Would help the non Tamil speakers greatly if the tiny bits of conversations are subtitled in English.

[@maitri74]

Just like Tamils are told to learm working knowledge of Telugu, Kannaada, a true seeker should learner should learn other languages and i pray you would reach the heights of music. This requires acquiring vast padanthara fron giants and develop one's own bani. Karmataka sangeetha is vast. I wish I had learnt in my young age.

[@umaparameswaran1168]

Very clear audio

[@mkrangachar]

Excellent depth .

[@Samskrithii]

Badalika de eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee raaaaaaaaaa........

[@shanthip3987]

Students, learn as much as you can from this great musician..

[@umaparameswaran1168]

Singing with them
👌

[@ArvindIyengar]

What an in-depth knowledge, ஆழ்மை, what a voice, what greatness .... appreciate your sangeetha ஞானம், prowess!
But outwardly why are you anti-Hindu and anti-Brahmin and anti-Carnatic-legacy; those which have given you so much??? Nobody were against anybody. They were only focused and continuously specializing in the sangeetham, just like you. But why are you against them?

[@athiravijayan8693]

We are blessed to have this

[@umaparameswaran1168]

Thanks tm krishna sir ......

[@hemamaliniramesh4656]

Lovely

[@lalitharsk]

Beautiful explanations

[@dsvojdfpiv4159]

TM Krishna is so talented. He has been one of my favourite musicians from my generation. As long as he focuses on delivering and teaching quality music, he's outstanding. It's only when he talks politics and social issues does he have his foot in mouth moments.

[@ShreeSharma108]

Great initiative. Show the teacher too when the student sings. Need not focus the student in full frame , as we need to see the teacher's gestures too when the student sings.

[@navneethsundaresan6970]

Superb

[@sforsure]

We want more videos if this kind…🙏🙏
