Its better to know all the types of voices, including falsetto. Remember, while there are rules in music, the true beauty comes out by breaking a few rules tastefully.

[@91rummy]

I was taught in my childhood not to use false voice.. I am greatful to all my childhood teachers for setting me on the right path. I was learning Hindustani as a kid and now learning Carnatic

[@HarmonyandMusic]

I can't believe Kaushiki cannot explain the upper register taar saptak which is head voice which you don't sing with vibration in your chest but rather the upper palate, head and sinus as air is pushed up and it resonates. In her demonstration of singing she clearly transitions from chest voice to head voice but fails to explain how and calls it natural voice. What is natural voice? The main thing is learning to transition the secondo passagio, which is the transition from chest/mixed voice to head voice. Falsetto is not a register (saptak), but rather a stylistic technique used with low air compression. Head voice is the true taar saptak or upper register where you can do all the harkats and murkis or other ornamentation. If you want to learn more study Western music, or watch KZbin videos of Pandit Sanjay Patki who clearly explains in his videos that in Indian classical music the use of head voice is practiced. It's unfortunate that most gurus don't understand head voice which is a common western music technique. Pakistani classical singers use head voice all the time; just listen to Rahat Fateh Ali.

[@thayasri6134]

With my limited knowledge, I do agree with you and can sense her transitioning smoothly between head and chest voices. She has mastered the transition, probably by not giving it soo much of technical thought. I may be wrong. In fact I am still searching for a indian classical musician who can blend western concepts of voice culture with classical singing techniques. Modern day classical singing, in my opinion has gone through many transformations and with the advent of the microphone, what is considered melodious and soothing to the ear has changed over the years. On a separate note the terminology "falsetto" is a bad choice in my opinion. Anything that comes from the vocal chords cant be false, is my opinion! 😁 Btw, thanks for the pointer on 'Pandit Sanjay Patki'

Thank you so much for this comment. As a student and performer of indian classical music I have seen a lot of criticism around the usage of head voice or "false" voice. Like you correctly mentioned while singing higher octaves notes the nasal passage and the head play a key role. Being able to produce good tonal quality requires a lot of practice and mastery of breath control while singing notes of the upper register. The explanation in this video can be misleading for many. I myself tried to sing taar saptak notes with chest voice support and it's practically impossible and could also be ruinous for your voice in the long run. I really hope music teachers and musicians put more leg work into understanding and explaining efficient voice production techniques.

[@sicario91]

@@srilakshmi6087 I am so glad that singers such as yourself understand the voice classification and how to sing in different registers flawlessly using proper technique.

[@parameswaran1388]

You are right, madam. Karnatic vocalists always ignore the importance of voice culture. They give importance to the improvisation alone. No genre of music in the world is so careless about the sound of voice. At the same time no music gives so much importance to intuition and creativity as the Karnatic music.🙏

[@tejasnair3399]

And to form and structure. Carnatic compositions are generally more formally intricate, and the mridangam takes equal part in expressing the energy in the form. Even the most artful khyal bandish doesn’t have the level of structural calibration of a Tyagaraja krithi, though their form is similar. Also Carnatic music is more formally-minded, meaning they tend to present a composition in a relatively compact way that maximizes the effectiveness of the form. Hindusthani music on the other hand is principally decorative in it’s mindset, we hindusthani musicians take a precious little bandish and play it long, play it loose, trying different ways of playing the line and doing boltaan before getting on to the antara. One is not better, both are sacred to us.

I could not get rid of the transition to my head voice in carnatic music and it was bothering me. Yours was the best advice. As long as I can feel the vibration in my chest I can hit the high notes without feeling the breaik. Thank you very muich

[@darshika6783]

Because english language is standard and indian classical music is global. Not only indians learns hindustani classical but also students are from worldwide. So her lessons are for global students not only indian. That is why brother. Take what you can, don't focus on criticising everytime.
