Foundation Course in Carnatic Vocals - Wrap Up

Q: How long will a teacher take to revert to students’ queries after class hours?

Students should get a response within 24 hours if the teacher is not preoccupied or traveling.

Q: What if the teacher wishes to reschedule a class?

If the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days before the class. The teacher will conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student.

Q: How much time should a student devote to self-practice on a daily basis?

This course will require practice time outside of lessons. Time spent practicing may vary from 15 minutes per day to an hour, depending on a student’s level of interest. Students who wish to become professional singers will need more hours of practice per day using a different set of exercises and materials than students who are seeking to learn singing as a hobby. A detailed structure for home practice for each student will be discussed and explained during class.

Q: What if a student is unable to attend an upcoming class?

The student is required to inform the teacher about his/her absence from a particular session, two days prior to the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his/her absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on the teacher’s discretion.

About the Course

This course majorly focuses on the basic songs - the Geetams. Geetams are small melodic compositions that are easy to learn and practice. They consist of melodic phrases, often with repetitive patterns, allowing students to grasp the foundational elements of a raga.

When learning and performing Geetams on the Carnatic violin, students focus on playing the melody with accuracy and clarity. They pay attention to intonation, smooth bowing, and maintaining a steady tempo. Geetams help students develop a sense of timing, rhythm, and phrasing, as they learn to navigate through the composition's musical structure.

After the completion of this course, the students will be ready to upgrade to Carnatic Vocals Intermediate.
