There is no end to learning this subject and I am happy that I am always a student, undoubtedly. I am qualified in both veena and vocal and I have been teaching music online to students in India and abroad. Having combined science and music I have realised that no drug can replace carnatic music. Having enjoyed exploring carnatic music to the best of my ability with the little knowledge that I have, I wish to spread the message to the entire world, that learning carnatic music is not only pleasure giving to the ears, but it is also a way to a healthier life. I am an Assistant Professor of Microbiology, but music is my passion. I welcome you all to this site where one can learn Carnatic music irrespective of one's geographic location and cultural background. Other composers incldue Kshetrayya, Narayana Teertha, Annamayya, Bhadrachala Ramadasa and Jayadeva to name a few. The contributions of the musical trinity -'Thyagaraja', 'Shyama Sastry' and 'Muttuswami Diskhtar' are materpieces. The fundamental lessons were composed by Purandhara Dasa. So, in a way it is the music which is pleasing to the ears. Another reason is the word Karnataka can be broken into 'karna' meaning 'ear' and 'Ataka ' meaning 'haunt'. Earlier, the region lying to the south of Vindhyas range was called Karnataka and that is one reason why Carnatic music got its name. Classical music of south India is collectively called Carnatic/Karnatak Music. Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa- Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Ri Sa. NATARAJAN.Welcome to my website, enjoy your visit !
