BT 04 - Volume Control and a Case for Komal Swaras

A very Important aspect of 'Bhaav', In this video, I explain two major difficulties of Bansuri Playing, namely Volume Control and Komal Swaras (Half closed notes).
The Painting in the background has been done by my wife Sowmya Srinivasan. You can find her on the following Social Media Links:

आप वो सभी टेक्निक बड़ी उदारता से बता देते है जो बहुत से कलाकार नहीं बताते है, भगवान आप को सदैव ऐसा ही बनाये रखे और आप को इतना दे जो आप सदैव बांटते रहे, पेंटिंग बहुत ही सुन्दर बनी है, भारत भूषण वशिष्ठ.

Guruji saadar pranam,,,,, aapke jitnaa detail me aaj tak kisi ne bhi kisi subject me nahi padhayaa....

[@subratkumarnanda4514]

One of the good video on flute, nobody tells these techniques on any tutorial

[@mr.flautist007]

You are just an amazing artist....i am also playing flute ...and i know how much difficult to put the komal swaras in it's swarastana ...grt control and this kind of control comes from practice, practice and practice..wish you a great MUSICAL journey ahead.A YOUNGER BROTHER IF YOU CONSIDER ❤

[@mdasifiqubal5471]

Sir apki flute lessons ka video bohut hi alag hai.. bohut din se aisa hi tutorial dhund rahe the..thank you sir.. lot of respect 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@the_rdrksh]

You are so down to earth. I have been playing flute for over a decade and learnt to play it on my own, and never actually had a guru because of my circumstances. But now I feel compelled to learn the nuances and really try to fine tune myself slowly towards a point where I play satisfyingly good enough. Things, doubts that I could not verbally express, are now being cleared by your videos. Had classical vocal training upto Visharad part one. So that really helped with laying down the basics for grasping the concept of ragas. You really helped with the esoteric side of the Bansuri Techniques. You brought a lot of diverse perspectives to things. Funny that I thought I knew it all; typical inflated ego of a young guy, who thinks himself to be a grownup. I have so much to learn. One lifetime would hardly be enough but I have to try. I pay my heartfelt gratitude to you, for bringing these lessons to KZbin. Thankyou.

आप बहुत अच्छे इंसान हैं और बहुत मधुर बांसुरी बजाते हैं , सौभाग्य है आप को सुनने का मौका मिला । जिन लोगों के पास थोड़ा सा भी ज्ञान है उन में घमंड देखा है, आप बहुत सभ्य हैं और यही आपके बजाने में झलकता है ।

गुरूजी आपण खूपच सुंदर बासुरी वादनाचा अभ्यास घेता. 🙏🏻

[@kapilpaliwal2750]

जो मधुरता आपके स्वरों में है वो ही आपकी भाषा में भी है। काश आपके सानिध्य में रहकर सीखने का मौका मिलता। पेंटिंग को देखकर लगता है सुबह के समय राग भैरव उसी परिदृश्य में बजाया जा रहा है।

[@amardhiman100]

Bahut hi khoob h sir ..ye Kahan k rhne wale honge ji

[@Charanjeet678]

You are helping a new generation of Flute players and thank you for this.

[@farmofhappinessagrotourism]

SIR, You are an amazing player for sure but also crazily amazing when it comes to teaching, too. Such an important point explained so NEATLY & SIMPLY! SASHTANG NAMASKAR! GOD bless us with your guidance for always!🙏

[@LokeshKumar-dd5eb]

बहुत अच्छे सर जैसे आप लोगों को बांसुरी सीखने वालों को भाव सिखाना चाहते हैं वाकई में आप उसी भाव से सिखा रहे हैं । धन्यवाद।

[@Tarunmusic2784]

I'll say just a couple of things- No. 1 - You are the MOST NATURAL and DOWN TO EARTH artist on KZbin I've ever seen and am referring to. However, I'll place Pt. Rakesh Chaurasia in a separate bracket when I say that, becoz I believe you Yourself must be respecting him up to the limits.The way you explain things, is incredible. No. 2 - Those who have Disliked any of your video, They are NOTHING More than a Table or a Chair or a Stick or a Stone, So don't give them even a damn of your attention. I'm a Successful Management and I know you meet many people who have this disqualification By Birth. I've started playing flute just a month ago, and I can promise you even if I didn't, I would be watching your lessons [and more than that watching YOU alone] with the same love and interest. I would be grateful if I can ever talk to you. Love from Aligarh...!!!

[@nandakishoredeshmukh7970]

Very impressive! It is also very pleasing to witness the control not only on the flute but also the language which possibly is not the mother tongue. May Ma Saraswati bless you even more!

[@rupindersinghkharbanda1976]

Sir your humbleness will fetch you hundreds of praised... Lovely 👍👍👍

[@audience4017]

Every word from you teaches something, Thanks a tonn!

[@suhailnasser8555]

Thank you loads for these series.. Since Im in a place where Gurus are unavailable for flute sessions, lessons like these are a blessing.. Thank you Ashwin jii for this initiative 💓

[@sahajwilliams4575]

This is excellent!!! Thank you so much for explaining how to increase the volume of komal swaras.

[@debjyotichanda]

A very unique playing style. Recently discovered you and since then regularly watching your video and learning. In such a young age you are playing like a genius. Love you Guruji.

[@rammarkale698]

आपके सुरोमे वातावरण पैदा करनेकी शक्ती है,आपने खुश कर दिया फुकपर कोमल स्वर उठानेकी आपकी कल्पना सराहनिय है।नमस्ते

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

Bahut khoobsoorat presentation tha. Very much needed this.

[@shaileshgupta5835]

Solid technique Sir🙏🙏. I was struggling a lot with low volume and airy sound of my komal swaras . Your suggestion instantly improved my sound. Thanks. God bless you.

[@k.dsingh6781]

Mind blowing and very fantastic flute playing and so the pantings

[@shrikush9812]

Aaj ka generation jinme ki art jaise chijo ko sikhne ka patience bahut hi kam hai aur guru gyan ke bina basics se kaafi door hai aise logon ko ye baate samjhna thoda mushkil hai aur aise logo ne is videos ko dislike diya hoga. Apke bolne me jo imandaari hai jo depths hai jo acknowledges hai jo simplicity wo itna jyaada impressive hai aur usefull hai ki in videos ko dislikes karne ka koi karan hi nahi banta. Please Aap dislikes ko ignore kare. As a musician mai aapki feelings ko bahut achhe se samjh sakta hu. Ap dislikes pe bilkul dhyan na de. God bless you always. No daubt the painting on wall is amazing.

[@anillpillai]

Ashwin ji Again invaluable tips - I have been playing Koma dha and re like that but never thought why had to move down to get the volume up - Realise now the mechanism, that I am blowing harder and hence to keep the pitch naturally the flute goes inwards - Feels like a Eureka moment . thank you for explaining this!
