Awesome :D

@Malavika have you learnt Carnatic music yourself?

@Malavika Not at all! :)

In vocal or some instrument?

Oh, lovely

I have learnt only vocal music.

For around 8 years I studied Carnatic music under my guru Bombay V. Vamanan

In school we had the option to learn Hindustani music, so I learnt a little bit there for around 3 years.

But I haven't learnt any instrument

Bought a flute recently, because listening to Mali made me really excited to learn to play the flute :D

Hahahaha, no no

Truth be told, I have mostly lost my voice now

I am understanding more music, but am able to sing less. Need to start rigorous sadhana again

Since you share many videos from YouTube, you might be aware of this channel, but I'll share it here all the same:

Best of Carnatic Flute

The uploader posts some wonderful rare recordings of (mostly) Mali on the flute. Do listen if you get the time :)

This channel is the reason why I decided to buy a flute, actually!

I'll probably ping you here sometimes with some comments on your old posts on "The Practice Room" :)

Got to go now, have to organise some notes for tomorrow

Glad to chat with you :)
