Coming from the same background thoroughly enjoying this lecture. Amrita has blossomed into a Proficient Musician, proud to say under Elite Gurus. As an Ardent Rasika in my Seventies, take pleasure in wishing well this teaming with Prince Rama Verma . He is so unique in simplicity, sense of humor and so adorable in every way. His Mimicry is CLASSIC. ❤
I enjoyed all the aspects of the lecture. It is very difficult to demonstrate mistakes and Amrutha teacher - you did an excellent job! That shows how great a teacher you are. Languages, composers, variety of mistakes - wonderful organization/ content in the lecdem as well. Prince sir was at his amusing best - loved the mimicry he did in places. Thank you so much for sharing this!
What a wonderful insightful session. Prince Rama Varma sir’s sense of humor & his skills to imitate the stalwarts & still bringing out the importance of sahithya shuddhi & uccharippu is really commendable. Amrutha- u urself are an ocean of knowledge❤. I loved ur interesting pointers and the way u sang & showed the corrections. Kudos & Namaskarams to u both for such a wonderful lec - dem🎉
Great justice to Dhaatu and Maatu❤lovely Amrutha👌especially Govilda Govilda in many many songs - not even RaGa and such musicians pay heed to this; so nice to see that you have addressed Uccharaaranam aspects … very useful; respects to RV sir
Listening to the point on importance of breaking lines and words in such a way that the meanings of the sahithya are protected, I just wanted to do sashttaanga namaskaaram to both of you !
What an erudite singer and a simple scholar is Sri Rama Varma from a royal family !!! Hats off to him. Thanks for upload. Well rendered and enlightening kacheri.
Excellent. Thanks for highlighting the importance of lyrics. Great composers were bhaktas first then music composers. Saahitya is at the heart of these compositions
This was a wonderful topic! My kids have asked me many times on why singers (in recordings) are mispronouncing things on some of the exact same examples you gave here (I tell them just to be mindful when pronouncing). I was born and raised in the USA, as are my kids, and we try to pronounce things carefully whenever learning and singing carnatic compositions -- thank you for this informative session.
This lec-dem is a must watch for any musician. But I wonder how many seniors will introspect with open mind & correct themselves. It's really frustrating to hear mistakes like RAAHAM instead of RAAGAM and MURUHA for MURUGA. Another point to note is instead of DAIVAM we hear the pronunciation DEIVAM 😢
Remember Listening to MDR Live when I was 12 . Singing Vanarothama Sahitha - he had the audacity to point finger at the front row men, of course in lighter vein. Even Chembai used such hilarious moments . They were at ease with the audience .
very informative gracefully presented. It sounds so good when they give actual pronunciation. All points are valid, especially i like the way, how sir spoke about the Varnams. Thanks for posting this.
There should be correct demarcation of words at correct time with space . Other wise the meaning itself will change as in the krithi Sangeetha Gynanamu Bakthi Vina . There is a joke where a clerk misplaced the sign coma (,) in the sentence HANG HIM, NOT LET HIM GO. Actually the judge wrote HANG HIM NOT , LET HIM GO. Note the placing of the sign by which the entire meaning change drastically. Same thing may happen in singing as well. The Lec dem is an educative vedio for upcoming performers. Super .
Arputham arputham thanks so much for uploading this event was jn the morning hours I was travelling to office I missed..but I thank u for putting this in youtube. Next time I will surely make it
Very well presented, it is important that all Carnatic musicians should learn some basic Samskritam, Telugu. Kannada, Tamil & Malayalam so that they get the pronunciation right and do justice to the kirtanas and the composer.
Finally, Rama Varma speaks on a topic that is timely.

What an intelligent artist Amrutha is, I am awed by her knowledge of multiple langauages. Amazing job.

While doing raga alap, when na is used and ri is added to na, it becomes nari..which can be avoided.
Super🙏🙏🙏
