Meghna Ghai Puri, Subhash Ghai, Dr. L Subramaniyam_5th Veda, Whistling Woods International“To understand music, you need to first listen to it sincerely. The process of learning is monotonous but important to exercise control on your voice. For composers, it’s good to learn the Piano. Basic Classical music knowledge is a must and one should listen a lot to not only contemporary singers but classical singers too. Controlling of breath is important too and try to emulate and think over what ingredients makes a song good,” said Kavita Krishnamurti.  At the session moderated by Mr. Subhash Ghai, she also explained to students through demonstrations the difference between various genres of singing like playback singing, ghazal, pop and classical. She said, “Basis is and should always should be classical and then comes playback where we learn about aesthetics as we have to keep in mind the actors and situations. Also, when you start with your training go full throttle or full voice to open the texture of your voice. Modulation of voice comes after riyaz. These instincts develop with time.”

An AV on the evolution of Violin was shown to enlighten students. Dr. L Subramaniam charmed the students with his magical display of talent by playing the violin and demonstrated various genre of jazz, classical, country music through his various compositions. Students gave a standing ovation when their son, Ambi joined his father and the duo performed a fast-paced composition of fusion music, together.
