Kannada Film Music

KS Chithra | Faculty Head
Preparatory

For those who don’t have the natural ability to sing notes correctly, a teacher has to introduce the very idea of note identity, location, reproduction and sequencing to a learner and enable the student to sing even a simple song in shruthi with awareness and precision. In the Preparatory process, the teacher will inculcate basic swara and tala skills in the student through exercises and simple songs.
Voice Training:
The curriculum is delivered in combination with Scientific Voice Development. Teachers are trained in the concepts and principles of Frederick Husler, adapted to the needs of Indian Music by Ananth Vaidyanathan. The human voice is naturally a singing voice, irrespective of musical talent. Musical tone and skills are innate potentials of the human voice. The voice is developed by activating it’s potential nature through simple songs and allowing it grow easily and naturally along a path of increasing musical complexities.

Each session of the Intermediate Film Music Course is designed in two parts – Carnatic music and Film Music. Students will learn in-depth Carnatic Music from Sarali Varisai to Adi Tala Varnams and simple Kritis. Film music training will be delivered in the styles and singing techniques of simple fast songs, peppy Western songs, folk songs, basic classical film songs, and melodies – through a combination of song training, voice training and performance training. Performance is the sole purpose of singing and the trigger of vocal potential. Performance culture is inculcated into the student from the very first lesson.
