Feeling Defeated by Kalpanaswaram? Do this- |

My Guru Sangeetha Bhushanam AS Mani taught me a trick to help me master Kalpanaswaram. And I have never been scared of such improvisation ever since. Hope the tip helps you in your musical journey too.

Super madam ❤. You have opened my eyes of ignorance on kalpanaswara and now I am ready to implement the logic you suggest 🙏

[@abhilashaojha]

These are exactly the invaluable lessons that one searches for while studying and getting into the deeper ocean of music. This is so beautifully explained. Thank you Ma’am. I love how you talk to us with so much clarity, getting into the nuances of music, also sharing in some of the videos the acceptance of failure, of concerts having gone wrong... some of those videos have stayed with me and they allowed me to look inward and approach music with an even more sense of devotion and surrender.

[@suryaprakasaraovishnuvajha2048]

Aruna, hearty Congrats for the very fine way you taught the younger singers as well as the Rasika - the correct way of dwelling into the knowledge of improving the KalpanaSwarna’s in general and that for Ananda Bhairavi in particular.Prakasa Rao, B-9, PAOA

You have a Generous mind mam. That's why you shared how you learnt. You have actually thrown a light to the learning people. Thank you mam.

[@srutisukumar8609]

This is how people teach Kalpana swara. Whats generous? She overshadowed geetha raja her own sister in Law. No offense.

[@JanaVasan90]

Kalpana swaras will come in experience and more of hearing from other artist Rendition. You can crack for any other raaga then. Follow the below steps: Step 1: Sing arohanam and avarohanam as many times as you can Step 2: identify the key notes or jeeva swaras for the Ragam. Practice those notes. Step 3: slowly sing the notes and then faster Step 4: identify the suitable line in a keerthi and start improving. Do not put thalam until you attain perfection in swaras. Step 5: once you are all set, put your kalpana swaras and do it with Thalam. (easy to put kalpana swaras for keerthi's in Adi and Rupakkam) Key to crack the hurdle is patience and listening to other artist renditions.

[@arunsreenivasan2074]

Thank you sir

[@krishnavasudev2155]

Very valuable input..thank you sir

[@mahalakshmi3004]

Thank you for the information sir

[@lancedsouza1547]

Strong understanding of Layam needed too. If you can understand jathis it will help you place Kalpana swaram appropriately and add a touch of flourish

[@devaanirawat5593]

Namaste mam....am from north India..from Uttarakhand...and I want to learn Carnatic vocal....mam plz share us some knowledge...how I can start and what to do... because I have no resources here in my state

[@binitha_balan]

Beautiful narrative 😍

[@haritadepalli959]

Confused, madam. You were supposed to stay within the sa-ri-ga-ma-pa range. But your kalpana went from lower ni to upper sa.

[@sarojdewan6601]
