Learning Objectives

Varnams are very significant forms and form the base of all future learning and complex aspects of music. The more Varnams one learns the deeper his/her knowledge of the structure of the Raga. The student will learn how the varnam can be used to enhance the creativity of a musician. The student understands the concept of Gamakas in each new raga they learn through the Varnams and Krtis.
The Krti is the most celebrated form in concerts and most widely performed in present day concerts. The student needs to increase his repertoire of compositions constantly. Varnams and Krtis help the student understand the essence of the Raga, its special phrases and its beauty.
