Know the relevance and importance of practising the basic lessons such as sarali varisai. The best example for this quality would be none other than the stalwarts, Lalgudi G Jayaram and MS Gopalakrishnan, two of the greatest violinists who are known for their melodic intricacies and rhythmic bowing techniques respectively.2 Oct Get familiar with the fundamentals of Carnatic music. This requires complete mastery over the instrument, bowing and the lyrics itself. This is achieved by controlling the bowing.

A solo violinist can be thought of as a vocalist but without the “Sāhitya” or the lyrics. So understanding and identifying what the vocalist is singing requires a great deal of sharp listening skills and agility to reproduce the same in a very short period of time.Ī solo violinist will require a great deal of both rhythmic (usually mrudangam lessons) and musical knowledge since we need to understand how a “Mukthāya”, “Swaraprasthāra”, “Neraval” and “Tani Āvarthanam” works since they are purely based on “Mahodharma” (improvisation) of the artist. The reason is very simple since the music is performed without any written sheet music/notation or any rehearsals prior to a performance. These are by far the two most important qualities very much needed for being a good violinist ”. The very reason for choosing violin as the “pakka vādya” (accompanying instrument) is for its tonal characteristics which closely mimics a human voice.Ī violinist should develop “listening” and “being accurate” skills. Over the course of time, the violin has become an integral part in any classical kutcheri (Carnatic classical concert). Baluswami Dikshitar, brother of renowned Carnatic Composer Muthuswami Dikshitar, learned and adapted the instrument to suit Carnatic Music.
The violin may have been introduced to India in and around 1790.
