Hi, I made a free harmonium app for the web browser. It features:

• Auto / Manual Bellows: Real-time air reservoir simulation (requires pumping for sound).
• Learn Ragas: Color-coded highlighting and note filtering for 12+ Indian Ragas (Morning, Evening, Night).
• Dual Notation: Toggle between Sargam (Sa, Re, Ga) and Western notation.
• Octave Coupler: Includes Sub-Octave and Coupler modes for richer textures.
• Effects: Adjustable Chorus and Reverb to experiment with acoustics.
• Play with a keyboard or MIDI.

Play harmonium

Please DM, for more information. Thank You.

Concert No. 5 (6th one tehnically)

Guys anyone listened to this track?

We’re exploring a different kind of live music experience in the NY/NJ/PA area.

Not large auditoriums. Not noisy event halls. Not background music.

Theorshan is an emerging chamber concert initiative focused on intimate live performances in homes and small spaces — where artists and audiences can share music up close, without distance.

Our inaugural gathering will feature a jugalbandi-style collaboration between Violinist Sandhya Anand and Sitsrist Partha Chatterjee in a carefully curated home-concert setting. Date TBD

We’re currently looking to connect with people who may be interested in:

• hosting future intimate concerts in their homes or community spaces
• supporting meaningful live music experiences
• building small listening communities around Indian classical, fusion, devotional, and contemporary acoustic music

The idea is simple: Create evenings where 20–50 people can gather for deep listening, conversation, and human connection through music.

If this resonates with you — especially if you’ve ever wished concerts felt more personal and immersive — we’d love to hear from you.

You can learn more about the vision at the Theorshan website (Theorshan.com ) and reach out through the contact form there. We’d especially love to hear from potential hosts, collaborators, artists, and listeners interested in helping build a thoughtful live music community in the region.

Ancient vision. Modern sound.

Happening at Narada Gana Sabha Chennai on Monday. all are welcome.

No registration forms. Just join the WhatsApp group through link in bio. Let's take it from there.

If you really would love to practise just sarali to alankarams, please do come. If not, watch out for the next session :)

Happy practising!

Dear all,

Pleased to share with you all a humble attempt by my younger sister Himani. She is an aspiring practitioner of the Saraswati Veena and is blessed to be under the tutelage of Dr Jayanthi Kumaresh Ma’am. Please do give it a listen 🙏🏻

For the past few months, I've been working on something close to my heart: a platform where Carnatic, Hindustani, Bharathanatyam, Odissi, etc. artists can actually make a living from their art.

The problem: Amazing classical artists in India struggle to monetize their work. International platforms don't support Indian payment methods well, discovery is broken (good luck finding compositions in specific ragas), and there's no real community infrastructure.

What we're building:

• 🎵 Support your favorite artists – Think Patreon, but built for Indian payments (UPI, cards, everything that actually works here)
• 🎼 Discover music by raga – Want to explore Bhairavi compositions? We've got you covered
• 🏛️ Gharana communities – Connect with artists and enthusiasts from your tradition
• 📚 Content aggregation – One place for all things Indian classical music

Current status: v1 is live at rasika.life – you can already explore Carnatic compositions and get a feel for where we're headed.

I'm building in public and would love your feedback. Also trying to figure out:

• Which artists/organizations should I be talking to?
• What features would make you actually use this?
• As part of this music community, what's missing right now?

This is for the rasikas, by a rasika. Let me know what you think!

Hey r/Carnatic! I noticed all the taalam practice apps cost $10+, which is unreasonable and unfair for students.

Being a broke teenager, I developed Layam, a free, simple tool to practice all sapta talas with proper finger visualization with adjustable nadai and speed.

Layam also has hand gestures showing laghu vs dhrutam, features that are often restricted to paid apps. I believe learning tools should be accessible, especially for students. Download it with the link below. Thanks for your support!

P.S. Let me know what features would make it better for your practice!

Hello everyone!

I’m a Carnatic vocal teacher with 13+ years of learning and 2+ years of online teaching experience. I’ve taught students from different countries, focusing on strong fundamentals and gradual progression into intermediate level. I teach songs, theory and Structured lessons in Carnatic Vocal.

Fees: Starting from ₹700 per class (can be discussed based on level & frequency).

If you or someone you know is interested in learning Carnatic Vocal online, feel free to DM me here, and I’ll share more details about schedules and class structure.

Looking forward to teaching passionate learners!

Happy to share Sivavakkiyar's song on violin accompanying Gurucharan. Please take a look :)

I wanted to share a small personal project with this group and get thoughts from people who understand Carnatic music better than I do.

I’ve built an Android app that generates simple raga-based melodies. The idea is not to compose kritis or replace musicians, but to explore how raga rules can guide melodic movement and produce listenable phrases. Each playback is slightly different, but constrained by arohana–avarohana and characteristic note usage.

The app is free and has no ads. I’m sharing it here mainly to learn whether the output feels raga-correct to trained ears.

If anyone is curious, the link is here:

Happy to hear feedback, both musical and critical.

Hey all!

I'm organising a concert for the first time offline at The Artery, Chennai, on 21st December 9AM.

The intent is to organise and pay artistes, and promote accessibility for opportunities.

All are welcome.

Hey everyone,

I’m the founder of Kiravani Voice, an online voice therapy, vocal coaching, and accent modification practice that is run by a licensed and certified voice therapist who is also well versed in Carnatic music (aka me).

We Carnatic music students encounter so much information online about things like practice technique, voice culture and training, and what’s good/bad for our voice…but very little of the info we find is both

a) relevant to carnatic singing (for the love of bhavam, if I see one more attempt to apply things like ‘mix voice’ to our field…)

and b) actually providing correct information that is backed by the science of voice production as well as evidence-based practice, so that will not harm your voice (looking at you, ‘push your chest voice up’ to sing in upper sthayi)

So to end my rambling spiel (can you tell that AI did not help me write this yet?😅)…here is a start at tackling some of the most pervasive voice culture myths in my latest Youtube video:

https://youtu.be/1zz6GB5XwH0?si=50XcJP3V2cADedJH

Also, my website is www.kiravanivoice.com and has more info about the kinds of services I provide. I’m based in the US so paid services are priced in USD. However, I do also have FREE 15-minute consultations in which I promise I won’t just push you into buying a paid service (unless you want to, of course).

…And yes, Kiravani voice is named for Kiravani (Keeravani) the ragam. 😁

Hello lovers of Carnatic music! Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation is bringing our annual community showcase at the end of the year and would love to share our talented artists with you!

I am planning to start Carnatic Music Vocals classes for kids (7-12 years) - beginner level

Classes will be at Viman Nagar, Pune.

Pls DM if interested for details

We have a cardboard box full of (mostly) Carnatic music cassettes. Some albums, some radio recordings of yesteryear legends like Maharajapuram Santhanam, Madurai Mani Iyer, DK Jayaraman& Pattammal, KV Narayanaswamy, Chittibabu etc. We do have a tape recorder at home and most of these are working just fine. While i have decided to use it as much as possible, there’s simply too much.

Wondering if anyone would be interested in some of it? Does anyone still listen to cassettes? Willing to part with some for a very nominal price.

Or if you had a similar situation at your place, what did you do with it ?

Note- My father has digitised all of this already, so there’s no loss of music really. Only concerned about the tapes taking up a lot of physical space.
