In this Carnatic flute basics video lesson i.e. lesson 05, you will learn to play Sapta Swaras clearly with both right and left hand combinations.
Shadjam or Sa, Rishabha or Ri, Gandharam or Ga, Madhyama or Ma, Panchama or Pa, Dhaivata or Da and Nishadha or Ni (Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni)
These swaras are the building blocks of Carnatic music. Each swara is a vibration that can produce melody by itself.
The position of each swara gets defined by the adhaara shadja or the tonic note. Adhaara shadja is the base swara or pitch, on the basis of which the place values of the other swaras are fixed.
Of the seven swaras, Shadjam and Panchama are called prakriti swaras. These are the constants and have fixed place values or positions.
In this video tutorial Mr. Kulur clearly explains on how to generate all the basic notes on carnatic flute in raga Harikambodhi and also to practice in different combinations. He also stresses on the importance of going slow with your practice of these exercises so that every note is rendered clearly.
If you haven't watched any of the earlier video lessons yet, it is highly recommended to start from lesson 01. This recommendation is to help you streamline your learning process to acheive maximum knowledge about Carnatic flute.
