Generally I never comment on Ytube. But this is real showing path. Something even great guru fails to teach. People spend years walking on wrong path. And wonder why there is no improvement. Cant praise you enogh. This is real Gyan. Every student of any music, or any instrument should watch this "First Lesson". Many just hear. Not listen. Great understanding and great work!

आपका पढाने का टेक्निक बहुत अच्छा सर. मैं ई बेस बासरी पे सराव करता हुं लेकीन बिना गुरूजी का .मुरकी, खटका,गमक बजाना हार्ड लगता है.आपका विडिओ देख देख के पढ रहा हुं.

Through a video you once hammered a thing in my head... ie. never hide under the safe/comfortable tag of being a 'beginner.' I owe a good part of my improvements and 'non-stagnation' to you.

[@ravishukla884]

Never ever seen a teacher teaching this subject with such honesty and bluntly

[@prabodhbhagwat8889]

Best of the best talks. We are very very blessed that you came here share with us Aswin Sir. Very frequently I watch your videos and revisit many videos. Your ideas and knowledge are worth listening let them be long talks.

After listening to this, I am quite sure all aspiring flute artists will be benefitted a lot during this period of 21 days. Learing so much in such a short time!.

Yesterday I came across one of your video and then I watched all of your lessons in just one day. And I really feel it has a lot of useful information that I can apply in flute and life as well. I feel like I just needed a teacher like you but I'm not that blessed that I can make you my guru. All other flute player youtubers are just newbies. Bless me so that I can apply all the details that I have learned from you. My good wishes and love❤️❤️ to you and your family. I will surely remember you in prayers and definitely while playing the instrument.☺️

बहुत ही सुंदर वीडियो सर आपकी बात बिल्कुल सही है सर जी अक्सर हमारे दिमाग में नए-नए गाने होते हैं और हमारा पूरा फोकस उन गानों पर और उन धुनों पर या दूसरों के वीडियो पर होता है इस स्थिति में हम कभी भी अपनी बांसुरी पर सही सूर पहचान नहीं पाते हैं, फूक कैसे देनी है फूंक में स्थिरता सुर को चढ़ाना उतारना छोटी छोटी बारीकिया इग्नोर करते जाते हैं और व्यथ की प्रैक्टिस करते हैं जिससे हम अपने आप को इंप्रूव नहीं कर पाते हैं 🙏🌺🌼👌🌼🌺👏👏👏🙏

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

This is the most important video for practice. Concentrating on clarity of notes and trying to get it right on every repetition. What you've said about "not all repetitions will be accurate but trying to get every repetition correctly"... It may be the most important advise ever! Thank you so much for these advises! You are an inspiration to all the flutists in india! Koti koti pranam 🙏🙏

Thank you Ashwinji for the valuable inputs and a really blissful and soul stirring Todi alaap at the end. A raaga can change the mood of the situation which is really magical and mystic. This is the greatness and power of our Indian classical music.

[@warankarvlogs]

Hello sir. I really like the way you explain the heavy concepts in the musical field. I am also a flute lover! being a blind person I thought learning flute with other sighted people is very difficult but when I saw your videos it is very simple to understand

[@AfzalAfzaal]

Hi Ashwin, you always produce nice and informative videos that's really help beginners. Can you make just 1 video on different blowing techniques and describe how to blow more effectively because I know when your blow is perfect then you can play good flute. I know it's very basic but I want you to define that technique in little more detail. Regards..

[@yashflute1423]

Sir, 2 years before I start learning the flute from youtube only, now i am able to play some beautiful songs, but now i want to develop my skills more and more please guide me. Sir, your flute has a pure soul.

Hello sir. Exactly i could see where i am lacking. Improving on exercising n speed daily but always why the note is not in tuning has always been a question. My Guruji says kansura hogya n kansura hua khud ko nhi lagta pta. Sa n Pa are always found to be in tune but rest of the swaras lack tuning. Thanks sir. Will work on the points you have emphasised. Playing se zyada listening p dhyaan dene waala hai. Fingers toh chl re hain aur speed b bnti rhegi as you said. Tuning k bina b bja dene ki adat chodne wali ae. Thank you so so so much.

Will do

[@ravishukla884]

Sir, what u have spoken in this video, this is something which every flute Teacher should teach their students in their first class....but unfortunately most of the teachers just try to extract money from their innocent students... And they do it very easily by telling students to directly play raags, I never understood this point that how can I play raag when I cannot even blow flute properly....
