Subject: [Oppiliappan] Carnatic Music


This is in continuation of my previous email.
Prof. Shivkumar Kalyanaraman has, in his web-site, requested for a feed-back 
which I reproduce below with a request to members to write to him not only 
appreciation but also suggestions: His email address is: shivkuma@xxxx

Kindly email me your feedback. I have received several kind notes of 
appreciation and I am as always thrilled to receive them. 
The primary motivating forces behind this work are my parents Smt. Geetha and 
Shri. K. Kalyanaraman and my gurus Shri Peri Sriramamurthy (Hyderabad), Smt. T. 
Rukmini (Chennai), Shri. B.R.C. Iyengar (Secunderabad) and late Shri. M.N. 
Subramanyam (Chennai) . If possible, please also mention your feedback to them 
through email or in person if you happen to meet them. 

I am constantly trying to improve these resources both in format and content. I 
would appreciate your thoughts on how it could better address your needs. 
Please let me know if you are: 

* a rasika interested in understanding the music (which level?: either basics 
or advanced topics) or 
* an aspiring or active music student (which level?: beginner, basics/geethams, 
varnams, krithis, alapana/swarakalpana etc). 

What kind of material would help you achieve your goals? How far do the current 
web sites go in terms of helping you get there? 

You wont believe it, but your feedback has helped me shape most of the aspects 
and content of these web pages! Here is a sense of some projects I have done or 
am doing based upon past feedback: added MP3 files; started the audio classes 
in addition to just the song versions; added varnams and geethams and recently 
alapana/neraval/swarakalpana (manodharma) pages. I am experimenting with 
classes and meanings of some famous slokas (vishnu sahasranamam etc). I am 
working on a page that provides basic lessons (sarali/janta etc), and on a 
joint project with Ramesh Mahadevan on a "gentle intro" to carnatic music for 
indian light music fans. 

Usually my method is to identify the greatest possible benefit (with your 
feedback), and then search for the fastest and most convenient way for me to do 
it (else it will just consume time without valuable and consistent output).
